What the table actually means

Space versus age is the trade. Montverde gives you the most house at this number, about 3,014 square feet. Lake Nona gives you the newest, a median build year of 2022. You are choosing which one you care about, because at $850,000 you are not getting both.

Where this budget sits matters more than the house. In Montverde the city median is $899,000, so $850,000 is an entry-level buy and you are competing at the bottom of that market. In Lake Nona the median is $838,250, so the same money is a mainstream purchase with more to choose from. That difference shapes how much room you have to negotiate.

The pool number surprises people. 42.9% of sales in this range in Montverde had a private pool, against 12.5% in Lake Nona. If a pool matters, that single line should probably decide where you look.

Before you use these numbers

Medians describe a market, not a house. A specific street, a specific school zone, or a lot backing a preserve can move a price well outside these figures. Use this to pick where to look, then get a real read on the individual home.
