Clarcona is an area, not a subdivision: a census-designated place in unincorporated Orange County that mixes rural-lot homes, newer subdivisions on its edges and the Clarcona Resort RV and park-model community. One guide puts site-built homes at roughly $300,000 to $500,000 as of November 2026. Many rural properties are on well and septic, and there are no city services. Data for this area is thin and should be confirmed per property.
Where it is
Clarcona is south of Apopka, about 8 miles northwest of downtown Orlando, along Clarcona Road, Clarcona-Ocoee Road and Ocoee-Apopka Road. Named places inside it include Clarcona Horse Park at 3535 Damon Road and Clarcona Resort at 3000 Clarcona Road, both with Apopka mailing addresses. Newer subdivisions on the edges, such as Emerson Park, are a different product from the rural core.
Clarcona Horse Park is a 40-acre Orange County public equestrian park with camping. The West Orange Trail, a paved county trail of 22.32 miles, has access in the area.
Homes and prices
Housing types vary so widely that an area-wide median is not meaningful.
| Property type | Figure | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Site-built homes | Roughly $300,000 to $500,000; average value about $388,000 | Homes.com local guide; not closed-sale records |
| All Clarcona listings | Median list price about $80,000 across 16 listings | Realtor.com search summary; reflects RV and park-model lots at Clarcona Resort |
Treat both figures as indicative only. Clarcona Resort has been a condominium since 1982 and now operates as a year-round residential RV and park-model community with a pool for owners. Its lot count, fees and any age restriction were not found.
HOA, CDD and running costs
Larger rural lots without an HOA are available. That is not universal: Clarcona Resort is a condominium association, and subdivisions on the edges have their own associations. CDD status is not verified.
Clarcona is unincorporated, so there is no city millage. The 2026 base unincorporated Orange County total is 15.9798 mills, or about $5,593 a year on $350,000 of taxable value, before non-ad valorem assessments. Some unincorporated tax codes with special districts run higher. Check the parcel in the property tax estimator and the payment in the mortgage calculator. For vacant land, start with the land calculator.
Zoned schools
One guide reports Prairie Lake Elementary (A in 2025-26), Piedmont Lakes Middle (B) and Wekiva High (C), and notes that the elementary zone varies by address. Grades are Florida DOE school grades for 2025-26. Confirm the address with the OCPS attendance zone lookup.
Getting around
One guide describes Clarcona as close to SR 429 and the Apopka Expressway (SR 414). SR 414 tolls as of July 1, 2026 include $0.35 at the Hiawassee Road ramps and $0.70 at the Keene Road ramps with a transponder. Test your own route in the commute times tool.
What to check before you buy here
- Confirm water and wastewater. Many rural properties are on a private well and septic; order a well test and a septic inspection.
- Ask whether the parcel is inside the Wekiwa Springs Priority Focus Area, where lots under one acre with conventional septic face a requirement to convert to sewer or an alternative system.
- Check the zoning and any rural-settlement rules with Orange County before you plan horses, outbuildings or a lot split. Those rules were not verified here.
- Look up the flood zone and wetlands on the parcel before you price it.
- Confirm whether any HOA, condominium association or deed restriction applies.
- At Clarcona Resort, get the association's fees, rules and any occupancy restrictions in writing, and confirm how lenders treat the unit.
- Verify school zoning by address with OCPS.
