Alafaya Housing Stock
Half the homes in Alafaya were built before 2002 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 24 years old. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. About 21,000 households here own their home, 65.1% of the occupied total. With a median household income of $98,289 and a median home value of $391,900, local labor rates come out above the national middle in our model.
NOAA storm reports for Orange County show 14 hail days and 21 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 1.75 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Orange County also had 3 tornado days in that period.
