About Orlando

Orlando’s Real Estate Market: Orlando’s nick-name is “The City Beautiful” and it’s easy to see why. An interesting mixture of tourism and “real life,” Orlando’s real estate demonstrates the variety of architecture that reflects the different lives that co-exist in this town – from the Disney vacation villas in Kissimmee, to the downtown condo skyscrapers and the mansions of Windemere.

Although known internationally for the world’s most famous Mouse, you may be surprised to know that Orlando is just a medium sized municipality of fewer than 200,000 people. The greater Orlando area however encompasses about 1.7 million people and its 4 main counties include Orange County (Orlando proper); Seminole (north Orlando); Lake (West Orlando) Volusia (East to the beach) and Osceola (South Orlando/Disney).

And while the United States is expected to grow 47% through 2050, Central Florida is expected to grow 136% adding another 4 million residents. Many of these will be baby boomers retiring in Orlando to enjoy their golden years in a place where they will never have to know what it’s like to be cold again! With projections like this it’s easy to see why Orlando’s real estate market will continue to boom despite current setbacks.

Without a doubt, Orlando has a neighborhood and a home that’s perfect for you and your family. Ask the MetroWest real estate Pros which one is right for you!
