Browse active land listings in East Orlando -- from the Waterford Lakes corridor to UCF and beyond. Compare prices, check zoning, and find the right parcel.
East Orlando is the fastest-growing corridor in the metro, and available land is getting harder to find every year. The stretch from Waterford Lakes Town Center east toward Lake Pickett Road and the Avalon Park community has transformed over the past decade, with new subdivisions, retail centers, and infrastructure pushing further into what was once rural acreage. Proximity to UCF, one of the largest universities in the country, adds constant demand pressure from investors and homebuilders alike.
What makes East Orlando stand out for land buyers is the mix of zoning options still available. Parcels along Rouse Road, Lake Pickett Road, and the corridors east of the 417 often carry R-CE (Residential Country Estate) zoning, which allows horses, custom homes on large lots, and a rural lifestyle within minutes of suburban conveniences. Public water, sewer, and electric are accessible on many of these parcels, which is rare for acreage-zoned land in the Orlando metro.
The window is closing. Subdivisions are expanding east at a steady pace, and every parcel that gets absorbed into a planned development is one less option for buyers who want to build on their own terms. If you are considering land in East Orlando, the time to start looking is now. Prices range from under $100,000 for entry-level acreage to nearly $600,000 for large wooded parcels near the lakes.

East Orlando is one of the most active land markets in Central Florida. Growth along the 408 and 417 corridors, combined with proximity to UCF and major employers, keeps demand high and inventory low. If you are looking at acreage in this area, working with an agent who understands land transactions, zoning, and the nuances of building on raw parcels is essential.
