A quiet community in the northwestern stretches of Orlando

Suburban • Peaceful • Affordable • Rural • Convenient •

Located about eight miles northwest of Downtown Orlando, Lockhart gets its name from David Lockhart, a businessman who attracted new residents to the community by building the area's first sawmill. This suburban neighborhood has a quiet, relaxing vibe, and you can find apartments for rent scattered throughout the community. Those who enjoy shopping will appreciate the nearby Altamonte Mall, situated just eight miles northeast of Lockhart.

Locals usually make the drive to the surrounding communities for exciting attractions and nights spent out on the town. Head to Downtown Orlando to visit the Orlando Science Center, Church Street Station, or the Bob Carr Theater.

Expect to find more restaurants and daytime activities the closer you get to Route 441/North Orange Blossom Trail. If you want to go out while staying close to home, head south on Edgewater Drive for plenty of nearby nightlife and entertainment options.

I live in Lockhard, and it's one of those neighborhoods that isn't the best, but isn't the worst either. There are some parts that are charming about it, and then at other parts you don't always feel safe. It's been a great place to call home while in my 20's and while my kids are young, but my wife and I will want to move out of this neighborhood as our kids start school, because the schools in this area are not very good at all.

Small suburb of Orlando, however very diverse and welcoming community, with real estate of all price ranges.

There are lots of homeless (not even sure if they're homeless) lurking, asking for money, and you see them later on buying cigarettes and stuff of that sort
