Sylvan Heights sits just off the heart of Winter Park, a tree-lined residential pocket in Orange County where you're minutes from Lake Killarney and the shops and dining around Hannibal Square. It's the kind of place that feels settled and easy — you can be in Downtown Orlando in about 21 minutes and at MCO in roughly 37, without giving up the calmer, established neighborhood streets nearby like Kenilworth and Orwin Manor. Families are drawn to the assigned schools too: Brookshire Elementary, Glenridge Middle, and Winter Park High.
This is a small, high-end market, so inventory is thin and choices are deliberate. Right now there are just 3 active listings, all above $1M, with a median list price of $1,750,000 and homes averaging $697 per square foot. Two of the three are new construction and two have pools, so a buyer here is generally shopping for newer, larger homes rather than starter product. With a median 155 days on market, sellers aren't rushing — which gives a prepared buyer real room to negotiate.
Sylvan Heights is a community in Winter Park, Florida.
