Build a new home in Orlando, FL
The heart of Central Florida — build a brand-new home on a scattered lot in any Orlando neighborhood. Orlando isn't a single market — it's 30+ neighborhoods each with their own character. Brightview builds on scattered lots across the city so you get new construction in the neighborhood you actually want to live in, not a distant master-planned subdivision.
About building new in Orlando
Most new-construction buyers in Orlando are steered toward master-planned communities 30+ minutes from downtown. Brightview does it differently — we build new homes on individual scattered lots across Orlando's established neighborhoods, including East Orlando, Baldwin Park area, College Park, Audubon Park, Conway, and SoDo. We currently have an active build in East Orlando on a $65K lot with a home value of $450K–$480K — a combination you simply can't find in a new-community build.
Why buyers are choosing Orlando
- Scattered-lot construction lets you choose the Orlando neighborhood that fits your lifestyle, not settle for a distant subdivision.
- Orlando is the 20th-largest metro in the US and one of the fastest-growing — resale appreciation remains strong.
- Home to Orlando International Airport (MCO), Orlando Health, AdventHealth, UCF, and Lockheed Martin.
- World-class theme parks, professional sports (Magic, City SC, Pride), and Florida's best restaurants within 20 minutes of most Orlando homes.
- Florida has no state income tax — Orlando combines big-city amenities with homestead-exempt tax benefits.
Orlando neighborhoods we build in
Brightview builds on individual scattered lots across Orlando. If you already own land anywhere in Orange County, we can build on it. If not, we regularly acquire lots in these neighborhoods:
East Orlando
Near UCF, Waterford Lakes, and Lee Vista. Affordable scattered lots with strong rental demand and new builds in the low $400Ks.
College Park
Historic bungalow neighborhood just north of downtown. Tear-down lots exist and new-construction infill is in high demand.
Audubon Park
The Garden District — hip, walkable, with a strong food-and-drink scene. Limited infill lots but premium prices when available.
Baldwin Park / Winter Park Border
High-end, planned streetscape with lake access. Scattered-lot tear-downs available at a premium.
SoDo / Delaney Park
South of downtown. Mature oaks, brick streets, and direct access to Orlando Health / SODO district.
Conway / Belle Isle
South Orlando chain-of-lakes area with boating access and A-rated elementary schools.
Getting around from Orlando
Orlando's central position means nothing is more than 30 minutes away — downtown, MCO airport, theme parks, UCF, or the Space Coast. I-4, SR-408 (East-West), SR-417, and SR-528 (Beachline) form a grid around the city. Most Brightview lots put you under 20 minutes from downtown Orlando or MCO.
Schools
Orange County Public Schools is Florida's fourth-largest district. A-rated schools exist in specific zones — Audubon Park K-8, Lake Highland Prep, Baldwin Park Elementary, Boone High School (Delaney Park/SoDo), and Winter Park High School's overlap zones. We can help match lot selection to school-zone preference.

Orlando new-home questions
Does Brightview Homes build new homes in Orlando, FL?+
Yes. Brightview builds scatter-lot new construction homes in Orlando and throughout Orange County. Whether you already own a lot or want us to find one, we build one of our 10 floor plans on an individual parcel rather than inside a master-planned subdivision — which is how you get new construction in established Orlando neighborhoods.
How much does it cost to build a new home in Orlando?+
Brightview base pricing starts at $269,990 for our Cambria and Tribeca plans (1,665 sq ft) and goes to $559,990 for the 3,479 sq ft Stephanie Estate — all before lot cost and selections. Orlando lot pricing and Orange County impact fees affect the all-in price. We'll give you an itemized, transparent quote specific to the lot and plan at consultation.
Does Brightview have available lots in Orlando right now?+
Lot availability in Orlando changes weekly. Some lots we've acquired are under contract and available for a Brightview build; others are listed through our brokerage (LPT Realty). If you don't see active inventory, we also help you find and evaluate open-market lots in Orlando and throughout Orange County. Call (321) 310-2849 or email through the contact form for current availability.
How long does permitting take in Orange County?+
Permitting in Orange County typically takes 6–12 weeks from application submission to issued permit, depending on complexity (standard infill vs. wetlands, flood zone, or HOA architectural review). Brightview handles the full permit process — including impact fees, tap fees, and inspections — so you don't navigate the county on your own.

Any of our 10 floor plans can be built on a Orlando scatter lot, but the most popular choices for Orange County buyers are: Cambria, Valencia, Legacy, Kensington. You can browse all 10 on our floor plans page or view the full architectural PDF for any plan.
