Catalina sits close to the center of everything in Orlando, with downtown roughly 12 minutes away and Universal Orlando about 14. It's the kind of established Orange County neighborhood where you can be at Orlando's core in a lunch break and still come home to a quieter residential street, with schools like Catalina Elementary, Memorial Middle and Jones High serving the area. Neighbors here trade easy access for a place that isn't overrun by tourist traffic.
The market is small and worth watching: there are just 7 active listings right now, with a median list price of $499,900. That scarcity means buyers should be ready to move when the right home appears, and it's smart to compare nearby options like Metro West and South Semoran to understand where value sits. Working with an agent who tracks these pockets closely makes the difference in a low-inventory neighborhood.
Catalina is a community in Orlando, Florida.

Catalina FAQs
Is Catalina a good place to live?+
It works well for buyers who want to stay central without living downtown, with the city core about 12 minutes away and Universal Orlando around 14. The area is served by Catalina Elementary, Memorial Middle and Jones High, and it sits near established communities like Metro West. The short drives to work and the parks are the biggest draw.
Is Catalina expensive?+
The current median list price is $499,900, which places it in the mid-range for the Orlando area. With only 7 active listings, pricing can move quickly, so it helps to compare against nearby neighborhoods like South Semoran before you make an offer.
What do homes cost in Catalina?+
Right now the median list price is $499,900 across the 7 homes on the market. Because inventory is thin and detailed per-square-foot and size data isn't available for these listings, a walkthrough with an agent is the best way to gauge value on a specific property.
How is the market in Catalina right now?+
It's a low-inventory market with just 7 active listings and no recorded sales in the past 12 months, which means data is limited and homes here don't turn over often. Buyers should be prepared to act when something fits, and may want to keep an eye on the broader Orlando market for context.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Specific HOA and property tax figures aren't available in the current data for Catalina, so those numbers should be confirmed on a per-home basis. Since costs can vary between individual listings, ask your agent to pull the exact HOA dues and tax history before you commit.
