Colonialtown South sits just northeast of downtown Orlando, a compact residential pocket where 1920s bungalows and tree-lined streets meet an easy eight-minute drive into the city core. It's the kind of neighborhood where you can keep a real front porch and still reach Universal Orlando in about 23 minutes and Orlando International Airport in under 30. Families here are assigned to Edgewater High, Howard Middle, and Hillcrest Elementary, and the walkable scale is a big part of the appeal.
For buyers, this is a tight, in-demand market: only 6 homes are active right now, with a median list price of $470,000 and a wide spread from $357,000 up to just under $1.1 million. Homes move at a healthy clip — a median of 32.5 days on market — and sellers are getting about 98% of asking, so come prepared. If you're weighing options across the metro, it's worth comparing nearby communities like Metro West and Laureate Park alongside the broader pool of Orlando homes for sale.
Colonialtown South is a community in Orlando, Florida.
