Why East Orlando

The busiest side of the city

East Orlando had more closed sales than any other side of the city in the period: 1,425. It is close to the airport, home to UCF and its research park, and it is the shortest drive from Orlando to the Atlantic beaches and the Space Coast.

You get planned communities like Avalon Park and Waterford Lakes, established neighborhoods like Azalea Park and Union Park, new construction in the Ventura and Everbe area and real acreage out in Wedgefield. Single-family homes sold at a 24-day median, so a plan beats a scramble here.

East Orlando is where you get the most newer house for your money inside an Orlando address.

Questions buyers ask

East Orlando FAQ

What zip codes are in East Orlando?

On this site, East Orlando is 32807, 32817, 32822, 32825, 32826, 32828, 32829, 32831, 32833. Zip codes are a practical way to search, but they do not follow neighborhood or city lines, so I confirm the exact location of every home.

What is the median home price in East Orlando?

It depends on the type of home, so I report each one separately. Per Stellar MLS, for the 6 months from April 16 to October 15, 2026, single-family homes sold at a $430,000 median across 1077 sales, townhomes at a $343,750 median across 156 sales, and condos at a $160,000 median across 192 sales. Each zip is broken out in the market section of this page.

Is East Orlando inside the City of Orlando?

Partly. Every zip here uses an Orlando mailing address, but some streets are inside City of Orlando limits and others are unincorporated Orange County. That changes your property tax rate, who picks up the trash and who you call about permits. I check it on the Orange County Property Appraiser site for every address.

Which schools serve East Orlando?

Orange County Public Schools assigns schools by address, and zones change. I look up every home on the OCPS School Locator before you write an offer, so you know the exact elementary, middle and high school.

Is East Orlando close to the beach?

It is the closest side of Orlando to the Atlantic. From most East Orlando neighborhoods, Cocoa Beach is about 45 to 55 minutes off-peak by the 528.
