Where to Live in Orlando Florida

Wondering Where to Live in the Orlando Area?

If you have your heart set on making a home in sunny Florida, the Orlando area has a certain magical appeal for nearly everyone. But before you start visiting a lot of frogs in hopes of identifying the prince of a home you’ve always dreamed of, there are a few neighborhoods you will want to check out first.

If you love the urban lifestyle, the downtown area offers an amazing housing options. Whether you choose to live atop a high rise building or in a kitsch renovation, you’ll be right in the heart of everything that makes Orlando the envy of urban dwellers the world over.

There is a certain feel to Orlando that is best experienced after dark. Imagine the variety of restaurants, clubs and live music venues. There are nearly too many options to choose from, but that is what life in the city is all about right? The days are amazing too! Great weather, bicycle paths, outdoor festivals and more make daytime in Orlando a one of a kind experience.

If you want all the access without the cramped spaces, try the Metro West or Orlando East neighborhoods. You can still enjoy every convenience of the city, but with a bit more of the suburban vibe.

If you believe that life in Florida wouldn’t be complete without some golf and a bit of fresh water access thrown in, consider the Lake Nona community. This upscale planned community is built with the finest things in life in mind. That doesn’t mean it’s isolated. Instead, it is closely situated to everything that makes Orlando one of the best places to live in America.

If you want the magic of Orlando mixed with a bit of Mayberry, consider Avalon Park. This amazing community draws heavily from the best aspects of small town American living. Imagine a home along a tree-lined street, access to lakes, amazing landscaping, porches that are meant to be used not ignored and the services you would expect like great schools, medical and professional services and more.

In the end, no matter where you choose to live in the Orlando area, you will find the very best in Florida living. Orlando is a vibrant community that makes the most of the great climate, services, night life shops. Even if you wished upon a star, you might never find a better place to live than the neighborhood you select in the greater Orlando area. Photo Source: Ebyabe

Clermont Florida

Clermont is a fairly small city west of Orlando, population of 13,100(recorded in 2008). With recent downturn in housing, one can’t help but notice all the “For Sale” signs, overgrown grass, many abondoned homes. What’s going on in Clermont?

Same thing that’s going on in most of US. Home prices declined a great deal the past 2 years or so, many have lost their jobs and found themselves in a bind with mortgage, credit card debt and on and on. I was driving along HWY 27 where there are 4 restaurants next to each other within .5 mile and every single one had over 30 cars parked in their parking lot on a Thursday night around 6:30pm..No money to pay mortgage????? Unemployment??? SOOO What’s going on?

I believe despite of what we hear from the media, read in the newspapers, we seldom hear about success stories. I see new businesses moving into Clermont on a regular basis, yes, some had to shut their doors and some had to re-evaluate their staffing needs but it is hard not to notice the growth. As of 10/1/2010, there are 630 Homes that are listed for sale in Clermont, YES, that is a high number, however, there are also 257 homes that are under contract which shows families are still purchasing homes. There are 205 homes that are listed under $150,000.

My personal advise to those who are looking to move, please don’t listen to too much negative STUFF!! Do your research, tour the area, talk to local residents. It is a great time to buy a home, if you’re able to, don’t miss this opportunity.
