As of September 2026, the MLS records 10 closed sales in Lake Nona 11 in Orlando, FL since 2008, the most recent in August 2026. 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).
Part of the Lake Nona master-planned community in Orlando, FL — see all Lake Nona homes for sale (26 listings across 14 villages and sections in the MLS).
Lake Nona 11 is a low-turnover pocket of 164 homes with a build era spanning 1987 to 2024, though the typical home dates to around 2001. What actually drives value here is scale: a median living area above 5,000 square feet puts this community squarely in larger-format territory, and buyers should expect pricing conversations to center on square footage, lot condition, and how well an older structure has been updated relative to newer construction on the same street.
With just over half of homes (55.4%) carrying a homestead exemption, a meaningful share of this community is owner-occupied rather than held as investment or seasonal property. That tends to mean less inventory turnover and less urgency-driven pricing. Sellers here should expect the buyer pool to move deliberately given the size and price point of these homes, and buyers should expect fewer distressed or motivated-seller situations to work with.
The 60-Second Overview
This is a community defined by scale and age spread rather than a single build era — homes range from 1987 to 2024, but the typical property is a larger, early-2000s build, which shapes both maintenance expectations and how homes are priced against newer construction nearby.

Who Lake Nona is best for.
Best for
- Buyers specifically targeting larger square footage over amenity-package living
- Buyers comfortable evaluating condition and system age on a home-by-home basis given the wide build-year spread
- Buyers who want an established, lower-turnover community with a high share of owner-occupied homes
Probably not for
- Buyers expecting an HOA-run amenity package, since none is identified from current MLS listings
- Buyers wanting a single, consistent build era rather than homes ranging from 1987 to 2024
- Buyers seeking a smaller, lower-maintenance footprint rather than a large-format home

The Lake Nona buying strategy.
If we were buying in Lake Nona 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 Lake Nona.
Size drives the conversation here
A median living area over 5,100 square feet is the defining number in this community. Homes at this scale carry different cost structures than typical resale stock — larger roofs, more HVAC zones, bigger lots — and that shows up in how these properties get evaluated and negotiated. Buyers should walk in expecting condition and updates to matter as much as square footage when comparing two homes of similar size.
The build-year range, 1987 through 2024, means this is not a single-phase, single-era product. Some homes will carry original systems and finishes; others will be recent construction. There is no substitute for pulling the specific build year and permit history on any home under consideration here, since 'built 2001' as a median tells you the middle of the curve, not what any individual property actually offers.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Lake Nona. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A community spanning nearly four decades of construction at this size requires someone who reads condition and age-of-systems as carefully as square footage. We pull permit and build-year detail on individual homes here rather than relying on community averages, and we price against comparable-scale properties, not the broader Lake Nona resale market, so you are not overpaying — or underselling — based on a mismatched comp set.
