A suburban community with a rich history and natural beauty
Filled with happy little trees and even happier people, the suburban community of Lockhart, where world-renowned painter Bob Ross once lived, traces its origins to the late 19th century when sawmills and orange groves contributed to the Orlando area’s growth and success.
Two centuries later, Lockhart is an established community. With a mix of older midcentury homes and a few new custom builds, Lockhart is one of the region’s more affordable places to live. “It’s a starter community where maybe you buy your first home then get out in a few years,” says Todd Schroth, a local eXp Realty agent and founder of the Todd Schroth Home Selling Team based in nearby Altamonte Springs. “Orange Blossom Trail used to be the interstate for Florida, so you’ll find commercial and industrial zones there, too.” Along Edgewood Drive, one of the community’s main thoroughfares, a 123-foot mural depicts the community’s history, capturing its early days as a busy railroad town to more modern times as a diverse community blending cultural heritage, modern industry and natural beauty.

I have been living in this area for almost 7 years and I have never heard of nor experienced a crime occuring. I do see the police often because of what they do with the children at the local elementary school. They teach the children about crime and how to prevent being caught up in the atmosphere of drugs and gangs. Other than the police doing this they do nothing else in my community because there is no crime.
