Sylvan Hylands sits on Orlando's west side, close enough that Downtown is about a 17-minute drive and Universal Orlando lands around 26 minutes away. It's a quieter residential pocket of mid-sized single-family homes, the kind of place buyers land when they want proximity to the city core without downtown pricing. Neighboring communities like Metro West and South Semoran share that same in-between appeal.
The market here is small and moves at a measured pace. With just two active listings and a median list price of $339,950, options are limited but the numbers are approachable compared with much of the broader Orlando homes for sale landscape. Homes take around 35 days to go under contract, and over the past year sellers have netted about 92% of asking — a sign buyers still have room to negotiate.
Sylvan Hylands is a community in Orlando, Florida.
