About Lake Nona
Lake Nona is a master-planned community in southeast Orlando, Florida, developed primarily by Tavistock Development Company. Built around a vision of innovation and wellness, it has transformed from quiet ranchland into one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States. The neighborhood is anchored by Lake Nona Medical City, a 650-acre health and life sciences hub housing the UCF College of Medicine, Nemours Children's Hospital, the VA Medical Center, and UF Health. The area attracts medical professionals, young families, and tech-forward residents drawn to its meticulously designed infrastructure, fiber-optic connectivity throughout, and an emphasis on smart city technology. Lake Nona Town Center serves as a social hub with restaurants, rooftop bars, and boutique retail. The USTA National Campus, the largest tennis facility in the world, anchors its reputation as an athletic destination. Wide multi-use trails, pristine lakes, and manicured green spaces give the community a resort-like feel. Proximity to Orlando International Airport makes it ideal for frequent travelers. While some critics note its planned nature can feel sterile, residents overwhelmingly appreciate the safety, cleanliness, top-rated schools, and forward-thinking amenities that make Lake Nona genuinely unlike anywhere else in Central Florida.
