Diverse housing close to Downtown Orlando
Established and diverse, Rock Lake provides a relatively tranquil environment near Downtown Orlando. Anchored by a small private lake for which it is named that offers a rare urban setting, yet conveniently located to major roadways and the city’s cultural and entertainment center, the neighborhood offers an intriguing blend of housing and access. “The proximity to downtown is great, and the home prices are affordable,” says Rochelle Warriner, a Realtor with United Real Estate Preferred.
Rock Lake also has larger luxury homes on the water.

Ranch-style homes are prevalent; lakefront homes are a highlight
Housing is highlighted by a mix of ranch-style and midcentury-modern homes, typically featuring private driveways and mid-sized to large yards. Ranch homes offer garages, while midcentury-moderns have carports. Prices of these homes generally range between the low $300,000s and the low $400,000s. Smaller traditional homes that start in the low $100,000s can be found on the neighborhood’s south side closest to State Road 408, also known as the East-West Expressway. A small collection of larger waterfront homes is located on setback lots between Tampa Avenue and the lake. They are priced between $500,000 and $1.5 million and can feature private docks. “If you want to buy a house on the water in Orlando, this is a great place to look,” Warriner says. “You can have motorized vehicles on the Rock Lake; not every lake allows that.”

Lotte Plaza Market offers food from around the world
SShopping and dining options are limited in an area traditionally known for being a food desert. However, the Colonial Drive corridor, which runs along the neighborhood’s north side, features the Lotte Plaza Market, a large grocery store that specializes in Asian foods but offers much, much more. “They have all kinds of unique foods, including a French-Vietnamese bakery on-site. I’ve never been to a place that has so many kinds of food from so many places,” Warriner says. “It’s not a quintessential American grocery store, so you can’t get everything, but if you want milk or eggs or toilet paper, they have it. It’s one of my favorite new spots in Orlando.” The nearby Magic Mall is an enclosed flea market-style collection of vendors offering an eclectic collection of goods and services. Sy’s Supermarkets in neighboring Parramore is a traditional grocery option. Caribbean Sunshine Bakery, which serves up Jamaican favorites for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is a popular neighborhood eatery.
Rock Lake shoppers can get all their grocery needs and a bite to eat at Lotte Market.
