Discover Lake Como: Orlando’s Hidden Lakeside Jewel

Tucked between the buzz of downtown and the charm of College Park, Lake Como emerges as Orlando’s best-kept secret—a serene waterfront enclave where Spanish moss drips from ancient oaks, modest mid-century cottages mingle with stunning modern rebuilds, and the whole neighborhood feels like a permanent lakeside retreat. This unassuming paradise attracts artists, young families, and urban escape artists who’ve discovered Orlando’s most affordable waterfront living.

Waterfront Living Without the Pretense

Lake Como’s charm includes:

  • 1950s fishing cottages turned artist retreats

  • Boho-chic bungalows with kayaks parked out front

  • Contemporary lakehouses on stilts

  • The occasional A-frame straight from a Florida postcard

Neighborhood Secrets:
Como’s Dock – community fishing pier at golden hour
Secret garden pathways to hidden lake vistas
10-minute paddle to Dickson Azalea Park
The last affordable downtown-adjacent waterfront

The Lake Como Rhythm

Living here means:

Morning: Coffee on your dock as herons patrol the shoreline
Afternoon: Floating siestas in your inflatable lounge
Evening: BYOB sunset watch parties at the community dock
Weekends: Fish fries with neighbors who become family

Why Lake Como Shines

  • Orlando’s most democratic waterfront (no million-dollar minimums)

  • Walk Score of 72 – surprisingly walkable to Mills 50

  • Artist-built community pier with Friday night lights

  • 15-minute bike ride to downtown’s towers

For those who dream of keys-style living with Orlando convenience, Lake Como offers waterfront magic without the ego—where your backyard is a liquid playground and your mortgage won’t give you nightmares.
