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.

There are lots of homeless (not even sure if they're homeless) lurking, asking for money, and you see them later on buying cigarettes and stuff of that sort
