Orange County community close to highways and Orlando amenities
Southchase is a primarily residential community in Orange County about 20 miles outside downtown Orlando. “It’s the heart of south Orlando, so to speak. Almost every highway is close,” says Realtor Melissa Lamenza of La Rosa Realty, who has over a decade of experience selling homes in the metro. Carmelo Nuccio, a Re/Max Realtor with almost two decades of experience, agrees. “The only thing is the traffic,” he says, observing Disney World and Universal Studios congestion as the only downside to Southchase’s otherwise convenient location near U.S. Route 441, Florida’s Turnpike and State Road 417. “There is traffic, but you can hop on a different highway easily from here and save some time, depending on where you’re going, whether you work in Lake Nona, at the airport, or in Downtown Orlando or even Kissimmee,” Lamenza says.
Orlando has grown from a citrus town to a city of 334,000 residents.
Lake Nona is a popular hub for locals in the greater Orlando area.

Competitive home prices in suburban Orange County
“Southchase is for the families, the people with kids. It’s for all the people getting priced out of Orlando or moving away because Orlando doesn’t have a community feel,” Nuccio says. Neighborhoods like Whisper Lakes and Peppermill , where early 2000s-era single-family homes are neatly arranged in quiet cul-de-sacs, certainly have a suburban community vibe. So do subdivisions like Falcon Trace , where standalone New Traditionals and townhomes with tidy lawns are common. The median price for single-family homes is close to $435,000, while the townhome median is just under $300,000. Nuccio says these are “better prices” than in surrounding Orange County areas.
Lush green lawns add to the beauty of Falcon Trace.
Large arched entryways can be found on many traditional style homes in Southchase.

Quick access to Route 441, Florida’s Turnpike and State Road 417
While LYNX bus stops are scattered throughout Southchase, the community is mainly car-dependent. Route 441 and Florida’s Turnpike are parallel highways connecting north into Orlando and south to Kissimmee. State Road 417, a bypass road around the City Beautiful, curves through southern Southchase. The Orlando International Airport is about 7 miles east, a 15-minute drive in light traffic. University of Central Florida’s Lake Nona Hospital and Nemours Children’s Hospital, big regional employers, are less than 7 miles east.
Weather and crime
The risk of hurricanes is lower in central Florida than on the coast. However, heavy rainfall can cause flooding, especially in the marshier parts of Southchase. Snow is rare here, and summers get hot and muggy.
Crime statistics for Southchase aren’t readily available.
