University Shores sits in east Orange County, close enough to downtown that the commute runs about 17 minutes and the drive to Orlando International Airport lands around 24. It's a settled residential neighborhood zoned to Winter Park High, Glenridge Middle, and Cheney Elementary, with the kind of mature streets and mid-sized homes that pull buyers who want space without the polish tax of newer master-planned communities. If you're comparing it against places like Laureate Park or Metro West, this trades the amenity-village feel for a quieter, more traditional footprint.
Inventory here is genuinely thin — just two active listings as of now, with a median list price of $512,500 and a range from $500,000 to $525,000. Homes that closed over the last year sold at 100% of asking on average around $510,000, so sellers aren't discounting, but with a median of 110 days on market there's still room to negotiate on a listing that's been sitting. Buyers priced out of newer builds in Eagle Creek or shopping the broader Orlando homes for sale will find this a steadier, lower-turnover corner of the market.
University Shores is a community in Orlando, Florida.

Straight answers
University Shores FAQs
Is University Shores a good place to live?+
It's an established east-side Orlando neighborhood zoned to Winter Park High, Glenridge Middle, and Cheney Elementary, which is a big draw for families. The location is genuinely central — about 17 minutes to downtown and 24 to the airport — and the streets feel settled rather than newly built. If you want a quieter alternative to amenity-heavy communities like Laureate Park, it fits.
Is University Shores expensive?+
It sits in the low-to-mid $500s, with a median list price of $512,500 and listings ranging from $500,000 to $525,000. At roughly $247 per square foot for a typical 2,074-square-foot home, it's priced below Orlando's luxury tier but above the metro's entry level. That puts it in a comfortable mid-market position for buyers wanting space.
What do homes cost in University Shores?+
Active listings currently run $500,000 to $525,000 with a median of $512,500. Over the past 12 months three homes sold at a median of $510,000, and sellers averaged 100% of their asking price. Budget for the low-to-mid $500s and expect limited choice given how few homes trade here.
How is the market in University Shores?+
It's thin and slow-moving — only two active listings right now and just three sales in the past year. The median days on market is about 110, so homes aren't flying off, yet sellers still averaged full asking price when they closed. That combination means patient negotiation on a stale listing can pay off, but you won't find fire-sale pricing across the broader Orlando homes for sale here either.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA data isn't available for the neighborhood, which suggests low or no mandatory dues on many homes — confirm on any specific listing. Property taxes run a median of about $5,769 per year, in line with a home priced in the low $500s. Always verify the exact tax and any association obligations before you write an offer.
