Top-notch schools

Several miles east of Orlando’s bustling downtown the Alafaya neighborhood of Eastwood has become known as a place to settle down when looking for an area with good schools. “[They] are a big draw for almost this entire zip code,” says Sean Burke, Realtor at Young Real Estate. “If you’re zone for Timber Creek High School, that’s where a lot of people want their kids to go. It’s a very STEM-based school, and it works because there’s a lot of STEM based employers nearby.” The neighborhood has suffered from the closing of the Eastwood Golf Club, Burke says. “But it’s still a great area. My kids ride their bikes to their grandparents’ house, and I don’t sweat it, because it’s 25 miles per hour and it’s a great little neighborhood.”
