Situated 30 miles south of Orlando and bordered to the east by scenic Lake Tohopekaliga is the small community of Pleasant Hill. Featuring proximity to some of the country’s most renowned amusement parks, this Osceola County area offers relaxed residential living on the outskirts of Orlando’s tourism hub. “This area is very family-oriented, with schools and parks,” Carlos DeJesus, Realtor with Exit Realty 4Corners, who has been selling homes in the area for 8 years. “People really like this area because you have pretty much anything you need within a few miles. Sometimes it gets crowded because of the traffic, but the location is very desirable.”
