The homes here trend large and custom, and the neighborhood pairs a quiet residential feel with quick access to the shops and restaurants that make Winter Park homes for sale so sought-after. It's the kind of place where you can be downtown in about 22 minutes but still feel a world away from the traffic. Nearby Lake Killarney and established enclaves like Winter Park Pines round out the area's appeal.
This is a low-inventory, high-price market, so buyers should come prepared.
