Year Founded
2015
The community of Talavera, nestled within the southern reaches of the greater South East Orlando corridor, is a newly developed residential enclave master-planned in the early 21st century. Built to support the rapid suburban expansion of eastern Osceola and southern Orange counties, the neighborhood was intentionally designed to blend modern estate housing with the natural conservation areas of the region. Today, the premier point of interest is the neighboring Split Oak Forest Wildlife and Environmental Area, a massive ecologically protected preserve that borders the community and safeguards ancient sandhill habitats. The neighborhood provides a peaceful, family-oriented retreat with quick access to the booming technology corridors of nearby Medical City. Popular activities for residents include hiking through old-growth oak forests, tracking native Florida wildlife along rugged conservation trails, paddleboarding on local lakes, and utilizing community resort-style pools. Transit-wise, Talavera is located about 16 miles south of Orlando International Airport (MCO). The area sits roughly 40 miles south of Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). Reaching the retail and dining entertainment district of Disney Springs requires a driving distance of 22 miles utilizing the neighboring tollway systems. The nearest sand and coastal waves are located 46 miles east at Cocoa Beach.
