As of September 2026, the MLS records 2 closed sales in Cottage Hill First Add in Orlando, FL since 2023, the most recent in April 2025. Across Orlando as a whole, 5,915 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $412,500, 41 median days on market, with 1,608 homes for sale today. At that median and Orange County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.67 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,880 ($6,210 with the full homestead exemption).
Cottage Hill Add is a small pocket of just 43 homes, and that alone shapes how it trades. With so few properties, a single sale or a single listing can swing the read on the neighborhood for months. What actually drives value here is age and condition, not floor plan variety: the median build year is 1952, but the range runs all the way to 2014, so buyers are choosing between an original mid-century structure, a renovated version of one, or a newer infill build sitting on the same street.
The homestead share sits at 41.3%, meaning less than half of the homes carry an owner-occupied exemption. That points to a meaningful share of non-homesteaded ownership — investment holds, second properties, or homes recently transacted and not yet re-filed. For a buyer, that mix means more turnover potential and more variability in how a given house has been maintained. For a seller, it means your competition may include long-held, dated inventory sitting next to a recently updated home, so pricing has to be anchored to your home's actual condition, not the block average.

The 60-Second Overview
Cottage Hill Add is a compact, older Orlando pocket where a 1952 median build year sits inside a much wider 1926-2014 range, and no community amenities are identified in current MLS listings — this is a neighborhood of individual homes and lots, not a packaged community.
Stellar MLS sales records identify 17 homes in Cottage Hill that have changed hands since 2004, built between 1940 and 2023 (median 1954), with a median living area of about 1,020 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes.

Who Cottage Hill is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating age and condition home-by-home rather than relying on a uniform housing stock.
- Investors or renovators interested in a small, mixed-vintage pocket with a meaningful share of non-homesteaded ownership.
- Buyers prioritizing an individual lot and structure over packaged community amenities.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want on-site community amenities, since none are identified from current listings.
- Buyers who need a large, active pool of comparable listings to benchmark price with confidence.
- Buyers seeking a consistent, single-era build style rather than a mix spanning nearly a century.

The Cottage Hill buying strategy.
If we were buying in Cottage Hill today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Cottage Hill.
A Small, Vintage-Mixed Pocket
At 43 homes, this is one of the smaller named communities we track, and the practical effect is a thin, slow-moving resale pool. Buyers should not expect a steady drip of comparable listings; inventory here moves in small batches, and timing a purchase or sale around active competition takes more patience than in a larger subdivision.
The build-year spread — 1926 on one end, 2014 on the other, with a median of 1952 — tells you this street was assembled over nearly a century, not built out in one phase. Median living area of 1,296 square feet confirms the core housing stock leans compact, consistent with the era of the median build. Any newer or renovated homes in the mix will read larger or more updated relative to that baseline, so square footage and vintage need to be checked property by property rather than assumed from the neighborhood average.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cottage Hill. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
