Commuting by car or the Central Florida LYNX
“Clarcona is very close to the 429 toll road, which has been put in in the past few years and has really opened up this area,” says Stuart Coutu, Realtor with Mainframe Real Estate. “The area has only improved since they got the toll road. More and more businesses are coming in and the whole area is growing.” Clarcona is serviced by Central Florida’s LYNX public bus lines, providing an accessible public transportation option that connects throughout the greater Orlando area. Locals who commute by car can hop on the nearby Apopka Expressway to connect to Interstate 4 and land in downtown Orlando within a half-hour.

Emerson Park is a homeowner’s association brimming with midsized homes in contemporary styles. These houses feature stucco exteriors, arched entryways and decorative windows. Residents enjoy access to a community pool, cabana lounge and children’s play area. The Westlake subdivision has similar contemporary homes but offers a lower HOA fee. Homebuyers can downsize into a bungalow at Apopka Woods or a ranch style in Willow Hill. Summer Brook offers a wide selection of older homes featuring colorful exteriors. For something rural, there are spacious ranch homes on the east side of Clarcona near Lake Boggs. Homes in this area range between $300,000 and $500,000. “The house I last sold in Clarcona was on the market for 8 days,” Coutu says. “Typically, they stay on a little longer than that.”
