The Hickory Tree Elementary zone sits on St Cloud's eastern edge, where Osceola County trades density for bigger lots, newer rooftops and a quieter pace. It's the kind of community that suits families who want space and a short hop to the suburbs that are filling in fast around Narcoossee Road and Lake Nona. You'll find everything from established St Cloud neighborhoods to brand-new subdivisions, and plenty of water given how many lakes dot this part of the county. For a feel of the wider market, browse St Cloud homes for sale or scan the zone on the live map.
Right now there are 309 active listings with a median list price of $438,000, and homes are trading at a healthy 99% of asking — so sellers still have leverage, but buyers aren't overpaying blind. New construction is a real force here, with 78 of those active listings being new builds, which keeps pricing competitive against resale. Expect to weigh schools carefully too, since the zone feeds toward options like St. Cloud Middle School and St. Cloud High School depending on the address.
Hickory Tree Elementary School is an attendance zone in St Cloud, Florida.

Living in the Hickory Tree Elementary zone
The Hickory Tree Elementary zone covers the eastern side of St Cloud in Osceola County, where the suburban grid loosens into larger lots, newer subdivisions and the lakes that define this stretch of Central Florida. It's a practical choice for buyers who want more house and yard for their budget while staying connected to the growth happening around Narcoossee Road and Lake Nona to the north. The character here leans residential and family-oriented rather than urban, with a steady influx of new homes keeping the area feeling fresh.
Day to day, the appeal is space and value. You can browse the full picture on the live map to see how listings cluster across the zone, from established St Cloud streets to brand-new communities still filling in. Water is a recurring theme — 21 of the current active listings are waterfront — so lakeside living is a realistic goal rather than a long shot.
This zone tends to suit growing families, first-time buyers priced out of Lake Nona proper, and anyone who values a newer home. If you want walkable downtown energy, St Cloud's core is a short drive but not on your doorstep here. The trade-off is quiet and square footage, which is exactly what draws most buyers to this part of town.
Schools for homes in the Hickory Tree Elementary zone
The anchor of this zone is Hickory Tree Elementary School itself, the reason many families focus their search here. Depending on the specific address, students may continue on to middle and high schools including St. Cloud Middle School and Narcoossee Middle School at the middle-school level.
At the high-school level, homes in and around this area may feed toward St. Cloud High School or Harmony High School, again based on exact location. Because St Cloud and eastern Osceola County are growing quickly, these feeder patterns can and do change from year to year.
The most important thing to know is that attendance boundaries shift as new schools open and populations grow. Before you commit to a home for its schools, confirm the current assigned schools for that specific address directly with the Osceola County school district. A property one street over can sometimes fall into a different zone entirely.
Homes for sale in the Hickory Tree Elementary zone: prices and housing
There are 309 active listings in the zone right now, with a median list price of $438,000 and a median sold price of $413,900 over the past 12 months. The typical home measures about 2,029 square feet and trades at roughly $242 per square foot. Prices span a wide range — from around $250,000 at the entry level up to a $15,880,000 outlier — but the heart of the market sits in the $400,000s, where most buyers are shopping.
New construction is a defining feature here: 78 of the active listings are new builds, giving buyers modern floor plans and warranties as a genuine alternative to resale. Beyond that, the inventory includes 31 homes with pools, 46 in gated communities, 21 waterfront properties and 14 listings priced above $1M. That segmentation means you can target a lifestyle — lakefront, gated, pool — rather than just a price band. You can compare the broader context across St Cloud homes for sale.
Carrying costs are reasonable for the region. The median HOA runs about $94 per month, and median property tax is roughly $5,112 per year. Keep in mind that some newer communities layer a CDD assessment on top of the HOA to fund infrastructure, so always ask for the full monthly and annual figures on any specific home before you make an offer.
Getting around from the Hickory Tree Elementary zone
Location is a quiet strength of this zone. Orlando International Airport sits about 37 minutes away, which is convenient for frequent travelers and anyone whose work ties them to the airport corridor or the Lake Nona medical city just north.
Narcoossee Road is the main artery most residents lean on, running north toward Lake Nona and the broader Orlando metro and connecting south into St Cloud and Osceola County. For longer trips, the regional expressway network and Florida's Turnpike are within reach, opening up commutes toward downtown Orlando and the attractions corridor.
As with most of eastern St Cloud, this is a car-dependent area — you'll drive for groceries, schools and work. The payoff is that you're buying into a part of the metro that's still building out its road capacity alongside its new neighborhoods, so access tends to improve as the area grows.
Is the Hickory Tree Elementary zone a good fit?
This zone makes the most sense for buyers who prioritize newer homes, more square footage and a quieter suburban setting over walkability or a short downtown-Orlando commute. With a median sold price near $413,900 and homes closing at about 99% of asking, pricing is firm but fair, and the 57-day median time on market gives buyers room to make considered decisions rather than snap offers.
The strong new-construction presence — 78 active builds — is a genuine advantage if you want a modern home, but it comes with homework: compare HOA and potential CDD costs carefully, since those can meaningfully change your monthly payment. Water lovers and buyers wanting gated privacy have real options here too, with 21 waterfront and 46 gated listings currently active.
The honest trade-off is distance and car dependence. You're trading proximity to Orlando's core and Lake Nona's amenities for value, space and newer housing stock. If that balance appeals, the Hickory Tree zone is one of the more sensible places in St Cloud to get more home for your money — just confirm the school assignment and the full carrying costs before you commit.

Hickory Tree Elementary School FAQs
Is the Hickory Tree Elementary zone a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want newer homes, larger lots and a quieter corner of St Cloud while staying within reach of Lake Nona and the airport. With 635 homes sold in the past year, it's an active, established community rather than a sleepy outpost. The mix of resale and new construction means there's usually something at your price point.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
The median list price is $438,000 and the median sold price over the last year was $413,900, which puts this zone squarely in the mid-market for the Orlando metro. There's real range, from entry-level homes around $250,000 up to a handful of luxury properties above $1M — 14 active listings are priced over seven figures. For most buyers, the sweet spot sits comfortably in the $400,000s.
What do homes cost in the Hickory Tree zone?+
Expect to pay around $242 per square foot for a median home of roughly 2,029 sqft. Active listings span from $250,000 to $15,880,000, so the ceiling is high, but the typical buyer is shopping in the $400,000 range. You can compare current prices across St Cloud homes for sale to see how this zone stacks up.
How is the market right now?+
There are 309 active listings and homes take a median of 57 days to sell, which signals a balanced-to-buyer-friendly pace. Sellers are still getting about 99% of asking on average, so pricing is firm but negotiable. With 635 sales in the last 12 months, there's steady, reliable turnover.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes like?+
The median HOA runs about $94 per month, which is modest and reflects the mix of newer communities and established neighborhoods. Median property tax is around $5,112 per year. Always confirm the specific HOA and tax figures for any home, since new-construction communities and CDD districts can add to that baseline.
What schools serve this zone?+
Beyond Hickory Tree Elementary, families in the area may feed toward St. Cloud Middle School, Narcoossee Middle School, St. Cloud High School or Harmony High School depending on the exact address. Boundaries shift, so confirm the assigned schools for a specific property directly with the Osceola County school district.
How long is the commute?+
Orlando International Airport is about a 37-minute drive, which keeps travel and Lake Nona employment centers accessible. The zone's position on the east side of St Cloud puts you near Narcoossee Road, a main artery north toward the medical city and south into the county. Commutes to downtown Orlando are longer but manageable for a suburban trade-off.
Is there new construction available?+
Yes — 78 of the 309 active listings are new builds, so this is one of the more active construction corridors in St Cloud. That gives buyers modern layouts, warranties and energy efficiency without the wait that comes in tighter markets. Keep in mind new-build communities sometimes carry CDD fees on top of the roughly $94 median HOA.
