Lake Nona

Med City · modern · master-planned

Lake Nona is one of Orlando's newest and most ambitious master-planned communities, anchored by “Medical City” — a cluster of hospitals, research institutes, and a VA medical center on the southeast side of Orlando. It blends modern new-construction homes, walkable town centers, and a tech-forward, health-focused lifestyle.

The vibe

Sleek and new. Everything here was planned — wide roads, fiber internet, smart-home builds, and a town center with restaurants and the Boxi Park food-truck hangout. It feels suburban-modern rather than old Florida.

Who it's for

Professionals in healthcare or tech, families wanting brand-new homes and strong amenities, and remote workers who value fast internet and an active, outdoorsy community.

Lifestyle & things to do

The USTA National Campus for tennis, the Lake Nona Performance Club, miles of trails, Boxi Park, and a fast-growing dining scene. Medical City and major corporate campuses bring a steady professional crowd.

Schools

Served by Orange County Public Schools, with several newer, sought-after schools plus private and charter options nearby. Ask Mayra to pull current ratings for a specific address.

Getting around

Quick access to SR-417 and the 528 Beachline puts Orlando International Airport about 15 minutes away and downtown Orlando roughly 25–30 minutes in normal traffic.
