Lake Cherokee sits just south of downtown Orlando, one of the city's older residential pockets built around a small lake and lined with mature trees and tree-shaded streets. It's the kind of place where you can be at your desk downtown in about five minutes and still come home to a quieter, established neighborhood. Families here are zoned for William R Boone High and Blankner K-8, and the location puts Universal Orlando roughly 19 minutes out and Orlando International Airport about 28 minutes away.
For buyers, this is a small, tightly held market — there are just 4 active listings right now, with a median list price of $592,450. Inventory this thin means desirable homes move on their own timeline, so it pays to be ready when one surfaces. If Lake Cherokee is too quiet on availability, it's worth widening the net to nearby Orlando homes for sale or established neighborhoods like Metro West and the newer Laureate Park.
Lake Cherokee is a community in Orlando, Florida.

Lake Cherokee FAQs
Is Lake Cherokee a good place to live?+
It's an established, quieter neighborhood just south of the core, with a five-minute drive to downtown Orlando and assignments to William R Boone High and Blankner K-8. The lakeside setting and mature streets appeal to buyers who want proximity without the noise of the city center.
Is Lake Cherokee expensive?+
The current median list price is $592,450, which places it above Orlando's overall median but in line with its central location and established character. With only 4 homes on the market, pricing reflects a small, in-demand pocket rather than a high-volume market.
What do homes cost in Lake Cherokee?+
Right now there are 4 active listings with a median list price of $592,450. Because inventory is so limited, prices can vary widely by home size and condition, so it's worth comparing against nearby options like Metro West to gauge value.
How is the market in Lake Cherokee?+
This is a very thin, slow-turnover market — 4 homes are active and no sales have closed in the past 12 months, which tells you homes here are held for the long term. When one does list, be prepared to move quickly, and keep Orlando homes for sale on your radar as a backup.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
We don't have current HOA or property tax figures on file for the active Lake Cherokee listings, which is common in smaller, older neighborhoods without formal community dues. Your agent can pull exact tax and any HOA details on a specific property before you write an offer.
