Southchase is a family-friendly community of about 16,000 residents in unincorporated Orange County, roughly 20 miles south of downtown Orlando. This census-designated place is defined by its quiet residential streets, youth baseball and softball leagues, neighborhood parks, and the kind of suburban stability that draws families looking for affordability and convenience in equal measure.
The community is divided into four neighborhoods: Arlington Park, Belmont Park, Churchill Downs, and South Downs. Youth sports are central to the Southchase identity, with two baseball and softball complexes hosting seasonal leagues and opening day celebrations that bring the entire community together. Walking trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas are scattered throughout the neighborhoods. For shopping and daily essentials, Walmart, Aldi, Publix, CVS, and Ross are all within walking distance along South Orange Blossom Trail. The Florida Mall is a short drive north, and Disney Springs and Walt Disney World are about 15 minutes west via SR-417.
Southchase’s location near US-441, SR-417, and the Florida Turnpike makes commuting to Downtown Orlando, Lake Nona, the airport, and Kissimmee straightforward despite the traffic that comes with Disney’s proximity. Orlando International Airport is about 7 miles east, and UCF Lake Nona Hospital and Nemours Children’s Hospital are both nearby major employers. For families, the public schools in Southchase are above average, and the community’s affordable housing attracts first-time buyers and young professionals.
J Sterling’s South Orlando spa is directly across from the Southchase Cinema at 12402 S Orange Blossom Trail. For Southchase residents, we are literally the neighborhood med spa, offering professional massage, facials, waxing, and laser hair removal steps from your daily errands.
