Nonaology: Highlighting the Lake Nona Area

Lake Nona is one of the real “up and coming” areas around Orlando and is found in the Southeast part of the city. It’s at the bottom right elbow of I-417 (the Greenway). There are some fairly exclusive homes found within the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, and the overall community has been well planned out. Lake Nona is also the home to some famous golfers, such as Ernie Els, Henrik Stenson, Retief Goosen, Sergio Garcia, Trevor Immelman, Justin Rose, Ian Poulter and Annika Sorenstam.

Nonaology (www.LearnLakeNona.com) is a creative and well done informational site about the Lake Nona area. Outside of the exclusive luxury home area, Lake Nona is a great place to live because there is still space to move. It doesn’t have that uncontrolled sprawl issue that is found in the other areas of Orlando (yet).

What isn’t mentioned on Nonaology is that the area surrounding their mega-planned community is still very nice. You’ll find beautiful unplanned neighborhoods around Lake Mary Jane and Lake Hart, open roads that many bicyclists make use of on the weekends, and access to the large lakes for fishing and other water leisure activity.

This year the Burnham Institute for Medical Research is expanding to Orlando, and they’re doing it in Lake Nona. That’s 200-300 well paying jobs being injected into that community. This bodes well for real estate prices too, of course Lake Nona is one of the few areas in Orlando which hasn’t seen a decrease in average prices on real estate.

The Lake Nona area is a healthy Orlando community, and is really one of the hidden gems in the greater Orlando area.
