Sorrento is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in eastern Lake County, Florida, part of the Orlando-Kissimmee metropolitan statistical area. Its population was 845 at the 2020 census. The community sits along State Road 46, about five miles east of Mount Dora and roughly 26 miles northwest of Orlando, and is bordered to the east by Mount Plymouth. Sorrento's setting is defined by its position in the Wekiva River basin and the lakes-and-springs landscape of the Mount Dora region. The area is known for its natural springs, oak hammocks, and proximity to the Wekiva River system, with Wekiwa Springs State Park and the paddling, swimming, and hiking of the Wekiva basin just a short drive away. Wekiva Falls, a spring-fed resort and RV destination within the community, reflects the area's long connection to the region's waterways. Sorrento is a low-density, semi-rural place rather than a conventional suburb. Housing is spread across larger lots, with a mix of older homes, manufactured housing, and newer residential development, and the community relies on nearby Mount Dora and the surrounding towns for schools, shopping, and services. Students attend Lake County Schools. The community's appeal lies in its balance: rural, spring-country living at the edge of the Mount Dora lakes region, with Orlando and its employment and attractions within about a 40-to-55-minute drive along State Road 46 and Interstate 4. Mount Dora, with its historic downtown, lakefront, and festivals, provides the nearest concentration of dining, culture, and services. For residents, Sorrento offers space, a natural setting, and access to one of Central Florida's most distinctive landscapes.
