Identity
Conway predates most of the suburban metro. Streets follow older alignments, lots are irregular, and houses span many decades, closer to an old Orlando neighbourhood than to a planned community.
Orange County
Conway
Greater OrlandoFlorida
An established, mostly unincorporated area southeast of downtown Orlando, known for mature trees, larger lots and access to the Conway lakes.
Location and access
Southeast Orlando between SR-408, SR-528 and the Conway chain of lakes.
Everyday life
In practice, here is the rhythm you will find: short drives to downtown and the airport, with local retail on Hoffner and Curry Ford roads.
- Public access points on the Conway lakes.
- Neighbourhood parks and older school campuses.
- Downtown Orlando and the airport, both close.
Housing
- Mid-century homes, many renovated.
- Larger lots than in newer subdivisions.
- Some waterfront and canal properties.
New construction
infill rebuilds on existing lots; there are no large new phases here.
Getting around
Plan on this for getting around: car-based, with fast access to SR-408 and SR-528.
The area
Older lakeside lots folded into the city just east of downtown.
Real life here
What an ordinary week looks like.
An older, unhurried routine on irregular streets: a short drive to downtown or the airport for work, local retail on Hoffner Avenue and Curry Ford Road for errands, and lake access for those on or near the water. Few HOAs mean the pace of change here is set block by block.
Routines that fit
- Wanting an older neighbourhood with larger, irregular lots over a planned subdivision.
- Commuting to downtown Orlando or the airport on a short, direct drive.
- Renovating or rebuilding on an existing lot rather than buying new construction.
Outdoors and leisure
- Public access points on the Conway chain of lakes.
- Neighbourhood parks around older school campuses.
- Quiet streets under long-established tree canopy, good for walking.
Eating and shopping
Hoffner Avenue and Curry Ford Road carry the everyday restaurants and casual dining; a larger selection is a short drive toward downtown Orlando or the airport corridor.
Groceries, pharmacies and clinics are along the same arterials; hospitals and specialist care are reached via SR-408 or SR-528 toward downtown or the airport.
Seasons
Lakefront and canal-front properties require attention to flood zones and seawalls after summer storms; the rest of the year the neighbourhood stays quiet and low-traffic.

These numbers are published per county, not per neighbourhood or community. They show the direction of the market around this area, they do not estimate the price of a specific home.
Median listing price (county)
The midpoint asking price of homes listed across the whole county that month. It is what sellers ask, not what buyers pay, and a county is far larger than a single community, a specific neighbourhood can sit well above or below it.
