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.

Been here a year now, and haven't had issues. The neighborhood is very colorful - has character and isn't too loud. Have had crime-related incidences happen near my home but never felt unsafe.

It's a nice little town. Pretty quite except they go all out on fireworks for the Fourth of July. It's a nice place to live and raise kids. I know I loved growing up here. The only advice I would give would be to put your kids in a private school because the public schools that you are zoned for are not the best.

I enjoy the diversity of my neighborhood. Access to public transit and highways are very convenient. Local schools offer some great support and programs. There is not a lot of nightlife in the neighborhood but very close to downtown.

It's a situation to be grateful that a roof is over my head but we could be somewhere better for the price
