Pasco County, Florida, has a reputation problem. For years, people who knew the Tampa Bay area thought of it as farmland, aging homes, and not much else.

The conventional wisdom about Orlando’s real estate market, that it’s either cooling off or holding steady, misses what’s actually happening at the neighborhood level. In Lake Nona, a master-planned community in southeast Orlando developed by Tavistock, the market is not moving as one uniform whole. Builder incentives are drawing some buyers toward new construction, while ...
