Locals take a walk through Rock Lake in Orlando.
Rock Lake is part of revitalization efforts near Camping World Stadium
From the shores of Rock Lake, downtown Orlando office towers are visible to the east and the stands of Camping World Stadium can be seen to the south. The Rock Lake neighborhood is near both, meaning commutes to the Central Business District or outings to stadium concerts are never more than a couple of miles away. Despite this advantageous location, Rock Lake and surrounding neighborhoods suffered from decades of underinvestment. However, groups such as West Lakes Partnership have worked to turn that around through housing revitalization and park upgrades.
Lakefront houses and rehabbed properties
Homes are concentrated on the north side of the neighborhood, with several houses lining the shore of Rock Lake. “If you want to buy a house on the water in Orlando, this is a great place to look,” says Rochelle Warriner, a Realtor with United Realty Preferred. “You can have motorized vehicles on the Rock Lake; not every lake allows that.” Most locals don’t live on the lake, instead residing among rows of ranch-style houses surrounded by live oaks and palms. Like other West Lakes neighborhoods, Rock Lake is eligible for home rehabilitation and painting initiatives carried out by West Lakes Partnership. These projects have spruced up dozens of houses in the area. Move-in-ready homes have recently sold from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s. Lakefront properties can fetch more than $600,000s.
Ranch-style homes are common across Rock Lake.
The average home size is below the national average.

Things to do in Rock Lake and neighborhood Lorna Doone
Rock Lake Neighborhood Center is the neighborhood recreation hub. Walking paths through the Neighborhood Center's grounds connect the basketball courts, playground, tennis courts and community garden. Between the tennis courts and garden, the Orlando City Foundation installed a fenced-in soccer field.
In the nearby Lorna Doone neighborhood, Lake Lorna Doone Park is outfitted with putting greens, waterfront walking trails and a splash pad. Many of these amenities were added when the city of Orlando, the NFL and Florida Citrus Sports spent millions of dollars to upgrade the park in 2021. The park is next to Camping World Stadium, which frequently hosts concerts, music festivals and college football bowl games.

Korean barbecue, Caribbean bakery and more on West Colonial Drive
Rock Lake is next to one of Orlando’s most unique supermarkets: Lotte Plaza Market. The store’s grocery aisles, bakery and food court focus on a variety of Asian cuisines, including Chinese and Korean. “That’s the anchor store that everything else bounces off of,” Warriner says. “[Down the street], there’s a plaza with Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese food.” Lotte Plaza Market is in West Colonial, a community known for its selection of eateries. Other options along West Colonial Drive include:
Authentic Gyros and Grill for quick-order Greek food
Caribbean Sunshine Bakery for jerk chicken, rum cake and fresh bread
SoGongDong for all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue
Taste of Chengdu for Sichuan dishes
Meanwhile, there are a few businesses in the heart of the neighborhood near West Washington Street. Ocean Fish Market is stocked with fresh seafood, and West Lakes Food Co. acts like a food hall but specializes in to-go orders.
Lotte Plaza Market is an Asian grocery chain with a store just outside of Rock Lake.
