A quintessential midcentury neighborhood
Anchored by a community park and a consolidated school, the neighborhood of Lake Como is building a contemporary reputation on a traditional foundation in Orlando. Located next to Greenwood Cemetery, the city's first burial ground, Lake Como's roots reach back to the early 20th century. Today, much of the original architecture remains. "The homes were built primarily in the 1940s, and the neighborhood was developed after World War II. It's got some character," says Valerie Kennedy, a Realtor with Colonialtown Realty. The midcentury neighborhood is planted about 3 miles from downtown, offering a quieter respite from Orlando's active center.
Lake Como has a wonderful mix of both old and new home styles.
Lake Como is a beautiful community only 5 minutes from Orlando.

Homes from the 1940 to new constructions
The designs of the midcentury-modern era are predominant among the neighborhood's single-family housing. Buyers can find ranch-style homes, cozy frame houses, and properties ranging from Mission to contemporary. "You can find a two-bedroom, one-bath house for $350,000 to $375,000, and the range goes up to around $700,000 for a three-bedroom house," says Kennedy, who added that newly constructed homes could list for as much as $1 million. "It's always been a sought-after area. The homes have appreciated very well. It's not as high-end as some of the other nearby neighborhoods, but that particular pocket has always been preferred by a lot of people." Some of the most recent homes, such as contemporary styles built in 2023, are inside Conway Terrace and Handsonhurst subdivisions.

A circular lake and green space with history
The aesthetic centerpiece of the community is Lake Como Park. With homes encircling its lake, the urban green space provides a natural oasis. A distinctive lion sculpture welcomes visitors to a park known for its mature landscape. Surrounded by oaks, azaleas and flowering crape myrtles, the tranquil setting is perfect for passive recreation. Lake Como Park is within walking distance of Greenwood Cemetery, which includes a small park with a paved waterfront walking path alongside Fern Creek. History buffs may enjoy the cemetery's popular moonlight walking tours. On the other side of the neighborhood, it's hard to miss the refurbished F-14 at Colonel Joe Kittinger Park's Vietnam War memorial adjacent to Lake Underhill.

Centrally located in the neighborhood, Lake Como School serves kindergarten through eighth-grade students with an overall B score from Niche. The highly rated institution opened with its new name in time for the 2017-18 school year on the site of what was previously Lake Como Elementary. Graduates of Lake Como School typically attend nearby Boone High, another highly rated Orange County school with an A grade from Niche. The high school features magnet classes in criminal justice, finance and law.

A bright new tradition
During the winter, a particular house in the neighborhood has an illuminating display of over 1 million lights. The display is called "Honor by Lights" and it's to pay tribute to the people who lost their lives during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Near the action in Orlando
While residents of Lake Como enjoy relative solitude in an otherwise buzzy section of Orlando, the neighborhood's location provides quick and easy access to the camaraderie of the city's contemporary attractions. Only 2 miles from the Central Business District, Lake Como is sandwiched between the East-West Expressway, also known as State Road 408, to the north and the trendy Curry Ford Road corridor to the south. "It's in a convenient location with 408 right there and great proximity to downtown Orlando," says Kennedy. There are stop stops for the LYNX bus routes along South Bumby Road and Curry Ford Road.

Shopping and savory flavors along Curry Ford
Curry Ford Road invites locals to commercial spaces just beyond Lake Como. Residents shop for home supplies at Winn-Dixie and Clemons Produce, a longstanding neighborhood grocer. "You're close to the Hourglass District, which is kind of an up-and-coming Bohemian area with lots of restaurants and craft breweries," Kennedy says. Among the district's popular stops are Legumanati, a vegan restaurant serving creative dishes, and The Commission Beer Chamber, a highly-rated tap room where drinks are enjoyed with a backdrop of old-school rap.
