Lake Hourglass is a compact residential pocket close to the heart of the city, where a handful of homes sit within a quick seven-minute drive of downtown Orlando. The location does the heavy lifting here: you're 18 minutes from Universal, 21 from MCO, and about half an hour from Walt Disney World, with nearby communities like Metro West and Laureate Park shaping the broader area's character. It's the kind of central address that keeps you close to work, the airport, and the parks without committing to a big master-planned community.
For buyers, the reality is that this is a very thin market. There is just one active listing at $484,900, and only two homes have sold here in the past year — so inventory moves fast when it appears. If Lake Hourglass proper is quiet, it's worth widening the search to nearby Orlando homes for sale or neighborhoods like South Semoran to keep your options open.

Lake Hourglass FAQs
Is Lake Hourglass a good place to live?+
It's a good fit if you value a central location over a big-community feel — downtown Orlando is about seven minutes away, and the airport and theme parks are all within roughly 30 minutes. The area is assigned to William R Boone High, Howard Middle, and Hillcrest Elementary. Just know it's a small pocket, so day-to-day amenities lean on the surrounding Orlando homes for sale and neighborhoods.
Is Lake Hourglass expensive?+
It sits in the mid-range for central Orlando: the single active listing is priced at $484,900, at about $408 per square foot for a home near 1,188 square feet. That said, the two homes sold in the past year had a median price of $730,000, so larger properties here command significantly more.
What do homes cost in Lake Hourglass?+
Right now the one active listing is $484,900, while the median sold price over the last 12 months was $730,000 across two sales. The spread reflects how much size and condition drive price in such a small market, so comparing against nearby Metro West can help you gauge value.
How is the market in Lake Hourglass?+
It's a thin, fast-moving market. Only two homes sold in the past year, the current listing shows a median of zero days on market, and sellers are getting about 97% of their asking price on average. When something comes up here, be ready to act — and keep City Of Orlando/goaa and other nearby areas on your radar as backups.
