About the Neighborhood
A Distinctive Orlando Neighborhood
Lake Jewel Hills is a small, established residential community located in Orlando's 32806 zip code. The neighborhood was developed in the 1960s and is platted as Plat Book Z, Page 33 in Orange County records. Its four streets — Claire Street, Jennie Jewel Drive, Osceola Avenue, and Brent Street — are lined with mature trees and well-maintained homes that reflect the character of the era.
What sets Lake Jewel Hills apart is its varied terrain. Unlike most of Central Florida, the neighborhood features hills and changes in elevation that give the streets a more rolling, wooded feel. The hills are part of the natural land grade running down to the lake. Many homes are split-level or multi-story, and some include lower-level living spaces that take advantage of the grade changes — an unusual feature for Florida construction.
The neighborhood sits near Lake Jennie Jewel, and a number of homes along Osceola Avenue have views of or proximity to the lake. It is a quiet, established community with long-term residents and a genuine sense of pride in the neighborhood.
