MAPLEWOOD SEC 02
Homes for Sale in ORLANDO, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Maplewood Sec 02 is a small, older Orlando neighborhood where price is being set by land and renovation condition, not square footage. A median living area of roughly 1,565 square feet against a median price near $717,000 works out to a median price per square foot above $412 — well above what raw size would suggest. That gap tells you the value here sits in the lot, the location inside Orange County, and how much work has been put into the structure, not in how big the house is.
Only four closings fed this snapshot, so treat the numbers as a read on current posture rather than a statistically deep trend. What they show is a market moving fast — a median of 9 days on market — in a pocket where roughly 73% of homes carry a homestead exemption, meaning most owners are living in the home rather than holding it as a rental or flip. For a seller, that combination argues for pricing close to recent comparable sales rather than testing the market. For a buyer, it means well-presented listings are not going to sit.
The 60-Second Overview
MAPLEWOOD SEC 02 market snapshot (as of August 2, 2026): the median sale price is about $717K ($413 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 9 days on market for closed sales.
MAPLEWOOD SEC 02 is a community of 168 homes in ORLANDO, Orange County, built between 1925 and 2022 (median 1954.0), with a median living area of about 1,566 square feet. 73% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Maplewood Sec 02 is a compact Orlando neighborhood of 168 homes spanning construction from 1925 to 2022, with a typical home dating to the early 1950s — a built environment that mixes older, established structures with newer infill rather than a single-era subdivision feel.
Who MAPLEWOOD SEC 02 is best for.
Best for
- A buyer targeting an established Orange County location and comfortable budgeting near the mid-$700s for the right property.
- A buyer who wants a smaller, efficient footprint (around 1,565 square feet) over a larger new-build home.
- A buyer or investor comfortable evaluating a mix of pre-1950s and newer infill construction on a case-by-case basis.
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants built-in community amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, or organized common areas.
- A buyer who needs a large, single-era subdivision with predictable floor plans across the neighborhood.
- A buyer unwilling to budget for the inspection and system-age due diligence that older housing stock typically requires.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($717K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 5 sales each (4 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 2004 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The MAPLEWOOD SEC 02 buying strategy.
If we were buying in MAPLEWOOD SEC 02 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 MAPLEWOOD SEC 02.
Old bones, new price floor
The year-built range here — 1925 through 2022 — is wide enough that no two blocks necessarily look alike. A median year built of 1954 means the typical home is a legacy structure, and buyers should expect the usual due diligence that comes with that: roofs, systems, and permitting history matter more than in a neighborhood built in one phase. The presence of homes as recent as 2022 suggests some lots have been rebuilt or redeveloped, which is often what pulls the price-per-square-foot median as high as it is.
There are no community amenities identified from current MLS listings, so this is not a pool-and-clubhouse type of purchase — the draw is the location within Orange County and the individual home itself. With a median living area of about 1,565 square feet, homes here tend toward efficient footprints rather than sprawling ones, which keeps maintenance and heating/cooling costs more contained even as the entry price stays elevated.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in MAPLEWOOD SEC 02. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
