Southport’s military heritage and urban convenience

Southport—also known as The Villages of Southport—is a vibrant planned community of 658 homes steeped in military history. The community is set on the site of the former Orlando Naval Training Center and bordered by the U.S. Army National Guard to the east. The Orlando International Airport provides residents with easy commuting options, though they may experience some air traffic noise. Strategically located about 9 miles from downtown Orlando, Southport offers proximity to the city’s main attractions, including Disney World, the Orlando Watersports Complex, and Lake Nona, making it a suburb central to the action.

Five villages with vibrant ranch-style homes

Southport is divided into five themed villages: Malibu, Portsmouth, Schooner, Island, and Bermuda. “The only difference between these communities is that they each their own directors,” says Southport’s property manager Maria Sanchez. “Buying a property here means Spectrum TV and access to shared amenities like the two community pools and playground.” The area features three- and four-bedroom ranch-style homes from the 1960s, set on well-manicured, unfenced front yards adorned with Spanish moss and oak trees. These homes often boast vibrant pastel exteriors in hues of pink, green, and blue. Prices typically range from $315,000 to $375,000, with values influenced by lot size—quarter-acre lots being the most valuable.

Oak Ridge offers specialized magnet programs

Local kids can start school at Sally Ride Elementary, which earns a B-minus from Niche, then continue to the C-plus rated Walker Middle School. The B-rated Oak Ridge High offers magnet programs in Aviation, Digital Media & Gaming. Through Oak Ridge's Aviation program, students can get hands-on practice with flight simulators and earn industry certifications. The school partners with companies like Lockheed Martin and organizations like the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees for internship, scholarship and grant opportunities.

Southport community pools and nearby amenities

Most homes here don’t have pools, so residents can cool off in the communal pool or bring kids to the playground in the northeast corner of the neighborhood. Southport Community Park, a 52-acre former Navy recreation area, features a paved walking path, baseball field and picnic areas within walking distance. About three miles away, the Orlando Watersports Complex is the hub for watersports like wakeboarding, featuring an inflatable obstacle course on the water and a beach area. Lake Nona is roughly 10 miles from Southport, also offering an inflatable obstacle course at the Nona Adventure Park.

Gateway Village Circle’s dining options

Gateway Village Circle is located about 3 miles away from Southport, offering chains like IHOP, Bonefish Grill and Carrabba's Italian Grill. Plaza Tropical Supermarket offers international groceries and a hot food bar about 5 miles away. For major shopping, Orlando International Premium Outlets, provides over 180 designer and name-brand stores including Nike, Victoria’s Secret, H&M and Marc Jacobs.

Easy access to Orlando via Interstate 4

Major nearby highways include Interstate 4, which connects to cities like Tampa in about 85 miles west and Daytona Beach in about 65 miles northeast. State Road 527 leads north to downtown Orlando in about 9 miles. Central Florida Regional Transit Authority bus lines 11, 18 and 42 serve the area, providing routes to downtown Orlando, Universal Studios and Disney World. The closest major hospital is Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, located about 10 miles away. The entrance to the Orlando International Airport is about 5 miles from Southport.
