La Vina Solvino: Single-Family Homes in Lake Nona

Solvino sits off Dowden Road, one of four separate villages that make up the larger La Vina area alongside Capri, Ziani, and Mirabella at La Vina. Of the four, Ziani and Mirabella are gated and Solvino and Capri are not. The homes are single-family, in one- and two-story plans, and many back to conservation land — a quieter, lower-cost entry point to Lake Nona a short drive from Medical City, Orlando International Airport, and the shops along Narcoossee Road.

What Are the Homes Like in La Vina Solvino?

Solvino is a built-out village of about 50 single-family homes built by M/I Homes in the mid-2000s, running roughly 1,660 to 3,400 square feet on lots from zero lot line up to about a fifth of an acre.

M/I Homes was the sole builder here, as it was across all four La Vina villages. Floor plans come in one- and two-story layouts with three to five bedrooms, two to three bathrooms, and two-car garages. Lot sizes are the widest-ranging attribute in Solvino: some homes sit on zero lot line homesites where one side wall runs close to the property line, and others sit on lots approaching a fifth of an acre. If yard space matters to you, the lot is worth checking on a per-address basis rather than assuming a village-wide answer.

Solvino was built as one of La Vina's more affordable phases, which shows up in the plan sizes and the lot widths rather than in construction quality — the builder and the build era are the same across all four villages. Many lots back to conservation land. Because the village is fully developed, homes come to market as resales, and buyers should expect twenty-year-old systems on homes that have not been updated: roofs, HVAC, and water heaters from the original build are at or past their service life, so the inspection matters more here than on a newer home. For newer construction, the nearest activity is down Dowden Road in Randal Park.

What Amenities Do Residents Get?

None inside the village — Solvino was built without a gate, a park, a pool, or a clubhouse.

Solvino and Capri were built as La Vina's more affordable options and neither carries in-neighborhood amenities. The HOA maintains common areas and that is the extent of it. Some individual homes have their own private pools; there is no shared pool, clubhouse, or fitness center, and no gate. Sibling villages Ziani and Mirabella at La Vina are the gated phases and each has a small neighborhood park.

What the location gives up in on-site amenities it makes back in walkable retail: the La Vina Marketplace shopping center — restaurants, service shops, and medical offices — is a short walk up the road, and a Publix-anchored plaza sits down Narcoossee Road.

Where is La Vina Solvino and What's Nearby?

Off Dowden Road between Narcoossee Road and the SR-417 GreeneWay, about five miles from Orlando International Airport.

Solvino sits off Dowden Road, which runs between Narcoossee Road and the SR-417 GreeneWay in the Lake Nona area of southeast Orlando. That puts quick access to both SR-417 and the SR-528 Beachline within reach, which is what makes the area convenient to Medical City, Valencia College's Lake Nona campus, and Orlando International Airport — the airport is roughly five miles away.

Day-to-day errands are close: the La Vina Marketplace is walkable, and Lake Nona Town Center — the area's larger dining, shopping, and entertainment hub — is about eight miles out. Downtown Orlando runs around 20 minutes by car in normal traffic.

How Does Solvino Compare to the Other La Vina Villages?

All four La Vina villages were built by M/I Homes, sit in the same CDD, and none has a pool or clubhouse; the differences are the gate, the home size, and what the lots back to.

The clearest way to place Solvino is against its own sibling villages. Home type, gated status, and district membership are the stable, sourced attributes here — prices move with the market, so those live with the live listings rather than on this page.

All four villages are HOA communities that maintain common areas, and all four are within the Narcoossee Community Development District, though the assessment differs by village and by parcel. Confirm specifics for any individual home.

Who is Solvino a Good Fit For?

Solvino fits buyers who want a Lake Nona address at the lower end of the La Vina range and who genuinely do not need amenities.

It's a good fit if…

• You want the lowest-cost route into La Vina and are not paying extra for a gate or a park you would not use.
• You fly often. Five miles to MCO is among the shortest airport runs in the Lake Nona area.
• You want a mature neighborhood — grown trees, finished landscaping, no construction traffic — rather than a new build.
• Single-story living matters. Both one- and two-story plans were built here.
• A conservation-backing lot appeals to you more than a water view.
• Your children are past middle school, or a longer middle-school run is not a problem for you.

Look elsewhere if…

• You expect amenities in exchange for the CDD. This is the honest downside, and it is sharper in Solvino than in its gated siblings: owners pay a Narcoossee CDD assessment and get no gate, no park, and no pool for it. Laureate Park and Eagle Creek carry a CDD and deliver pools, fitness centers, and clubhouses. If you are paying the assessment either way, compare what it buys.
• You want a gate. Within La Vina, Ziani and Mirabella at La Vina are the gated villages.
• You want to avoid a CDD entirely. Try Belle Vie, Moss Park Landings, or Nona Terrace — all HOA-only, no CDD.
• You want a large yard. Solvino includes zero lot line homesites, and even the larger lots top out around a fifth of an acre. For more land, look at Live Oak Estates or Lake Whippoorwill-Hart.
• You want a bigger house. Solvino plans top out around 3,400 square feet; Ziani is the La Vina village with the larger homes.
• You need a middle school close to home. The La Vina villages are zoned to Odyssey Middle, which sits outside the Lake Nona community.

What Schools Serve La Vina Solvino?

Current OCPS zoning is Northlake Park Community School, Odyssey Middle School, and Innovation High School — but OCPS sets the boundaries and can change them.

La Vina Solvino is served by Orange County Public Schools. Current zoning for the La Vina villages is Northlake Park Community School for elementary, Odyssey Middle School, and Innovation High School. Worth knowing before you tour: Odyssey Middle sits outside the Lake Nona community, so the middle-school run is noticeably longer than the elementary and high-school runs. OCPS has opened newer schools nearby and adjusted boundaries in this corridor as the area has grown, and it can do so again. Confirm the current assignment for a specific address with OCPS before relying on it. For an overview of the area's options, see our Lake Nona schools guide.
