A clear clean lake surrounded by community

Orlando is home to many scenic lakes and lagoons, but Lake Conway is largely unique in its legacy of preservation, community stewardship and recreation just a few miles from downtown.

Surrounding a chain of lakes spanning approximately 1,800 acres, the communities of Belle Isle, Pine Castle and Edgewood form a predominately residential suburb. Belle Isle, the biggest of the three communities and situated around the main lake, originally came together in the 1920s. While Orange County annexed it within a few years, the community petitioned for city status again a few decades later to protect the lake from becoming a drainage basin. Generations later, those efforts have paid off.

“It’s one of the clearest lakes in all of Central Florida,” says Justin Hilton, a local entrepreneur and broker associate with Preferred Real Estate Brokers. “It’s super well known for its sandbar. It’s a real hangout for the community. There’s like 50 to 80 boats out there every Saturday and Sunday. You’ll have people out there fishing, grilling, or watching the game on their boat.” Around the community, residents zip around on golf carts to visit friends or nearby restaurants or grocery stores, creating a strong sense of place, community and comfort for residents.

A mix of stately lakefront homes and modest ranchers

In Lake Conway’s residential oasis, quiet tree-lined streets navigate between the lakes, old neighborhoods and a few gated communities that offer luxurious lakefront living. The community features modest midcentury ranch-style homes and larger Colonial and Mediterranean-inspired estates. Home prices in Lake Conway have risen in recent years, with home values averaging nearly $600,000, making Lake Conway one of Orlando’s more expensive communities. “There’s a lot of old money here. It’s a very vintage neighborhood,” Hilton says. “But there’s some new folks coming in, too, particularly a few years ago during the last real estate boom when interest rates were lower, so there’s some people remodeling homes and some very modern-looking estates.” Condo units sell for around $200,000 to $300,000, while single-family homes start at about $350,000. Some substantial homes with more than 2,500 square feet have sold for as low as $750,000, but fabulous properties with private dock access and stunning lake views can reach upward of $2 million to $3 million.

Warren Park, Belle Isle’s largest park, is popular for those who want to play or lounge outside by the water. It features a renovated playground, tennis courts and fishing piers. Around the lake, small pocket parks and green spaces feature benches, playgrounds, ornamental landscaping and other amenities.

In addition to its boating, swimming and fishing, Lake Conway pleases birdwatchers with its vast body of water and tree-lined shores, providing a sanctuary for local wildlife.
