Orlo Vista Elementary School

The Orlo Vista Elementary attendance zone covers Orlovista — an unincorporated west Orange County community roughly bounded by W. Colonial Drive (US-50) to the north, Pine Hills Road to the east, Old Winter Garden Road to the south, and Hiawassee Road to the west. The area includes older neighborhoods like Orlo Vista Heights and Orlo Vista Terrace. Because the school is closing at the end of the 2025–26 year, the current zone boundaries will be dissolved; address-specific reassignment to a receiving school (Eagles Nest, Ivey Lake, or Oak Hill) will be confirmed by OCPS through their formal rezoning process.

Yes. The Orange County School Board voted unanimously on March 10, 2026 to close Orlo Vista Elementary at the end of the 2025–26 school year, citing declining enrollment. Students will be reassigned beginning August 2026 to Eagles Nest Elementary, Ivey Lake Elementary, or Oak Hill Elementary, depending on their home address. OCPS will communicate final assignments through their formal rezoning process. Buyers with school-age children should confirm which receiving school their specific address maps to before making an offer — the replacement school matters for the home's long-term school-zone value.

Orlovista is one of the more affordable pockets in the greater Orlando market. Median closed prices have run in the $270K–$325K range (Redfin and Rocket Homes, late 2024–early 2025), compared to the broader Orange County median closer to $400K. Homes are predominantly 3-bedroom single-family on small lots, many original construction from the 1930s–1960s with some infill. The school closure won't change the neighborhood's location value — west of I-4, close to Colonial Drive, MetroWest, and the Millenia corridor. Ask Ben for a current zone-filtered pull.

OCPS identified three receiving schools: Eagles Nest Elementary, Ivey Lake Elementary, and Oak Hill Elementary. The specific assignment depends on your home address and will be finalized through OCPS's formal rezoning process before August 2026. All three receiving schools are OCPS public elementary schools. Contact OCPS Student Enrollment or use the "Find My School" tool at ocps.net to check the most current assignment for a specific address.

Orlovista sits in an older, more affordable tier compared to MetroWest, Dr. Phillips, or the Millenia-area neighborhoods immediately to the south and east. The price gap is real — you can find a 3/2 single-family home here for $250K–$310K where the same square footage in MetroWest runs $400K+. The trade-off is older housing stock and the school transition underway. For buyers whose priority is price-per-square-foot with quick access to Colonial Drive, the 408, and Millenia Mall, Orlovista delivers. For buyers weighing school quality above value, the receiving school's zone is now the more relevant search.
