Palomar
Neighborhood in Orlando, Florida
Orange County 32804
A neighborhood of vintage midcentury ranches and lakeside custom builds
“The biggest draw over there is their ranch-style houses because many of them are midcentury modern,” says Nancy Bhavsar, a Realtor with Anne Rogers Realty Group. “And they’re on bigger lots than we’re used to here.” These homes don’t come up for sale often. When they do, the three-bedroom properties typically range from about $400,000 to around $850,000. Bigger options can cost over $1 million. The lakefront houses, like the custom-built houses along Interlaken Road, are also rarely for sale. Roughly, prices range from around $1 million to $2.5 million. Flood insurance is not required to secure a federal mortgage for most properties in Palomar, but waterfront properties are often the exception due to low-lying shorelines. Florida’s hurricane season is from early June to late November, making storm preparedness a statewide practice.Pocket parks, golf courses and a recreation center are within a 5-mile drive
Interlaken Park is a small green space that’s a popular stop on dog walks around the neighborhood. The scenic nook is shaded by leafy magnolia and live oak branches. It has a paved walkway, benches and a doggy bag dispenser. Dartmouth Park, Matthews Park and the College Park Neighborhood Center have the closest playgrounds, each about 2 miles away. The community center also features a fitness center and swimming pool.Golf is another popular avenue for recreation in North Orlando. A couple of courses are within a 5-mile drive, but the closest is the Historic Dubsdread Golf Course. The 18-hole course has been an Orlando staple since 1924. In celebration of its centennial, the city is adding a brand new driving range and instructional golf facility.
Public and private schools are within walking distance
Orlando and unincorporated Orange County are served by Orange County Public Schools. Each school Palomar is zoned for is less than a mile away. Lake Silver Elementary and College Park Middle are graded C-plus on Niche. Edgewater High earns a B-plus and has a magnet program for students interested in engineering, science and technology. Palomar is also less than a mile from Bishop Moore Catholic High, a popular A-rated private school.Minutes from I-4, U.S. 441, LYNX bus stops and AdventHealth Orlando’s campus
Palomar is less than a mile from U.S. Highway 441 and about 2 miles from a ramp onto Interstate 4. The I-4 expressway is a straight shot into Downtown Orlando, just 5 miles away. The route to Orlando International Airport is closer to a 20-mile drive. LYNX bus stops are within walking distance along Maury Road, Silver Star Road and Edgewater Drive. AdventHealth Orlando – a major local employer – has a medical campus with the closest hospital about 3 miles away.Conveniences are 5 minutes away, and retail therapy is within a 15-minute drive
CVS Pharmacy is at the end of Maury Road, right at the intersection with Edgewater Drive, a major thoroughfare and commercial corridor. Edgewater Drive is lined with chain and locally owned restaurants like Gabriel’s Sub Shop, which has been family-owned since 1958.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
