Centrally located residential community with a strong Hispanic identity
Buenaventura Lakes, known to locals as “BVL,” is an appealing residential community that offers an attractive combination of convenience and home values in an established suburban setting south of Orlando. “It’s a good place, a nice community with a lot of restaurants and all kinds of shopping,” says Pablo Guiterrez Ramirez, a Realtor with Link Pro Real Estate LLC who has sold homes in Central Florida since 2017. Located in Kissimmee, Buenaventura Lakes is bordered by the Florida Turnpike, which provides easy access to several of the Orlando area’s signature destinations. “It’s extremely centrally located,” says Cesar Sanchez, a Realtor with La Rosa Realty Lake Nona who has sold more than 50 homes in the Orlando area since 2019. “It’s within driving distance to everything.”

One of the best outdoor options here is 65th Infantry Veterans Park, a sprawling recreation area anchored by a memorial to the Borinqueneers, a famous all-volunteer Puerto Rican regiment. The park features, among other things, the El Yunque Splash Pad and an 18-hole disc golf course. Organized youth leagues compete in baseball, soccer and football at Archie Gordon Memorial Park. Mark Durbin Community Park at Lakeside features basketball courts, tennis courts, a skate park, a synthetic floor hockey rink and a waterfront track. Nearby, Lake Tohopekaliga and East Lake Tohopekaliga provide residents with the opportunity to boat and fish throughout the year. Lake Toho, as it is called, is nationally known for its bass fishing.

Ranch-style and contemporary homes offer relative affordability
The community consists primarily of ranch-style homes with newer custom options mixed in. All are situated in a traditional neighborhood setting with private driveways, garages and ample yard space. In addition, BVL is dotted with small ponds, providing several options on or near the water. “It’s mostly single-family homes, with a couple pockets of townhouses or apartments,” Sanchez says. Prices typically range from the low $300,000s to the high $400,000s. The largest contemporary homes can list for as much as $650,000. “In Kissimmee and Orlando, it’s a hot, hot area,” Ramirez says. “Anything you put on the market is going to sell fast because of the location. It’s close to Hunter's Creek, and a home that sells there for $500,000 will sell here for $350,000, $360,000.” Condos and townhouses start in the $200,000 range.
Ranch homes remain a popular home buying choice for buyers.
Traditional style homes offer ample yard space, driveways and garages.

Public transportation, regional travel are easily accessible
Residents seeking public transportation can catch the bus at several stops concentrated along two main streets — Buenaventura Boulevard and Florida Parkway. They can catch the SunRail commuter train at the Tupperware Station in neighboring Falcon Trace as well as in downtown Kissimmee. The Florida Turnpike connects nearby to other regional roadways of note, including State Highway 417 and U.S. Highway 441, also known as the Orange Blossom Trail. For residents living adjacent to the turnpike, traffic noise can be an issue, but the collection of homes on the neighborhood's western edge is separated from the highway by a wall of evergreen trees.
The Florida Turnpike offers quick access to Orlando for amusement parks or work.
Well-established ranch homes can be seen throughout Buena Venture Lakes.
