Whisper Lakes offers several subdivisions and access to Orlando’s main attractions

Whisper Lakes gives residents access to single-family homes and townhouses near schools and Orlando’s theme parks. Homes have smaller lawns and backyards, with a mix of personal and community pools. Some homes back onto lakes but provide no public access or docks. Palm trees are familiar accents for front lawns, while oak trees provide shade and form borders between subdivisions. “(It’s in a) great location close to the airport and theme parks,” says Angela Carney, a Realtor with Corcoran Premier Realty.

Mix of HOA single-family homes and townhomes

Single-family homes can range between $350,000 and $450,000, while townhomes can run between $250,000 and $300,000. Homes include ranch styles and New Traditionals. A homeowners association oversees the community, with fee structures varying by property. Carney notes that the community has attracted theme park workers as SeaWorld and Universal are nearby. Severe storms and weather events can be a factor in Whisper Lakes. Flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency show a risk of flooding, especially around the lakes and wooded areas.

Community parks, golf tournaments and proximity to Orlando’s theme parks

The Whisper Lakes community has several pools for residents and a recreation park on Whisper Lakes Boulevard. The park features a baseball diamond, sports courts and a playground. Lester Mandell Park features a beach volleyball court, dog park and playground. The South Orange Sports Complex has multiple baseball diamonds and hosts Little League. The Orlando Ritz-Carlton’s golf course hosts the PNC Championship, but it is private. The public Arnold Palmer-designed Shingle Creek Golf Club has a Par 72 layout and features a practice facility. Theme parks, including SeaWorld and Universal, are 4 miles west of the community. Gatorland is directly south, while Disney World is further west.

Public and private religious school options

Students can start at John Young Elementary School, which has a B-plus on Niche, or Waterbridge Elementary, graded B-minus. They continue to Freedom Middle School, rated B-minus. Freedom High School has an A-minus and offers a journalism and TV production program. Pre-kindergarten through 8th-grade religious schools nearby include Ibn Seena Academy and Regency Christian, both unranked.

Lynx bus routes and access to Orlando International

Lynx has several bus routes that connect to the community. The #108 service runs on South Orange Blossom Trail, while the #57 has stops on South John Young Parkway. Both roads connect to the Marin Andersen Beachline Expressway to the north and the Central Florida GreeneWay to the south. Orlando International Airport and the Brightline station are 11 miles east.

Dining and shopping on Orange Blossom Trail

Restaurants along South Orange Blossom Trail feature a mix of chains and local spots. Brisas Bakery and Restaurant serves Colombian-style breads and baked goods, along with steak and seafood dishes. Kabab King serves Pakistani cuisine, including biryani and tandoori chicken, and has lunch specials. Beirut Bakery and Deli serves authentic Lebanese food and dessert items. Smaller stores and a Walgreens pharmacy are at the corner of South Orange Blossom Trail and Whisper Lakes Boulevard. Costco and Sam’s Club are further north, while Publix, Aldi and Sedano’s Supermarkets are south. Orlando Health’s Orlando Regional Medical Center is 12 miles north of Whisper Lakes.

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.
