Located in the 32805 zip code area, Lake Sunset is bordered on the north by the East/West Expressway (408), on the south by Orange Center Boulevard, on the west by South John Young Parkway, and on the east by South Tampa Avenue. Residents enjoy the easy access to both 408 and South John Young Parkway.

Lake Sunset residents are a less than a five-minute drive from George Barker Park on Clear Lake, an expansive, cypress-lined lake popular with boaters and anglers. This 7-acre park has a fishing pier, picnic areas, and a playground. The closest park, however, is Lizzie Rodgers Park at 2130 Long Street. Named for a local resident and humanitarian, this 3-acre park features picnic tables and a playground.
