Lake Nona is located in a prime area of Central Florida. It has great access to airports and major roadways and is located in a major employment center (one with a huge medical emphasis). Not to mention, it’s not far from coast, which is a major draw for those looking for the true Florida lifestyle.
Property values continue to improve in this area. As of October 2018, the median home price was $414,100, and is predicted to rise 3.7% within the next year. The number of closed sales and listings have both increased drastically during this short window of time, too.
