Holden Shores sits just south of downtown Orlando, close enough that you can be in the city core in about eight minutes and still come home to a quieter, lake-adjacent pocket of Orange County. It draws buyers who want proximity to Universal Orlando (roughly 15 minutes) and Orlando International Airport (about 26 minutes) without paying for one of the marquee master-planned zip codes like Laureate Park or Hunters Creek. Homes here feed into William R Boone High, Memorial Middle, and Pineloch Elementary, and the neighborhood keeps an established, unhurried feel.
The market is thin and quiet right now — a single active listing at $635,000, and just two homes sold in the past year at a $480,000 median. The upside for buyers is that sellers here have been getting 100% of asking on average, so pricing has stayed disciplined rather than inflated. With that lone listing sitting around 104 days, there's room to negotiate on the right property, and it's worth comparing against nearby Metro West and the broader pool of Orlando homes for sale before you commit.
Holden Shores is a community in Orlando, Florida.

Holden Shores FAQs
Is Holden Shores a good place to live?+
It works well for buyers who want to stay close to downtown Orlando — about eight minutes away — while living in a quieter, established neighborhood. Homes feed into William R Boone High, Memorial Middle, and Pineloch Elementary, and you're within easy reach of Universal and the airport. It's a smaller pocket than nearby Hunters Creek, which suits people who prefer less turnover.
Is Holden Shores expensive?+
It sits in a mid-to-upper range for the area, with the current active listing at $635,000 and a median $/sqft around $330. Over the past year, though, the median sold price was $480,000, so actual closings have come in well below today's list price. Compared to some of Orlando's marquee communities, it's a relative value.
What do homes cost in Holden Shores?+
The single active listing is priced at $635,000 for roughly 1,925 square feet, working out to about $330 per square foot. The two homes sold in the last 12 months closed at a $480,000 median, so recent buyers have paid noticeably less than the current asking price.
How is the market in Holden Shores right now?+
It's a low-volume market — one active listing and two sales over the past year — so options are limited but so is competition. That lone listing has been on the market about 104 days, while past sellers have averaged 100% of asking, meaning pricing tends to be firm but negotiable when a home lingers. It's smart to weigh it against listings in Metro West too.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no HOA figure on record for the current inventory here, so buyers should confirm any dues property by property. The median annual property tax runs about $6,089, which is in line with what you'd expect for homes in this price range across Orange County.
