When most people think of Orlando, they immediately picture the massive theme parks that draw millions of visitors from across the globe every year. But the city has a developed a distinctive personality outside of tourism, and nowhere is this on display more than in Downtown. Downtown Orlando serves as the city's hub for both business and culture, and has become a lively center for nightlife, performing arts, retail, and galleries. The bar and club scene is legendary, and touring musicians from around the world regularly stop in to play on the many local stages. Even though the theme parks are only minutes away, tourists rarely venture into the Downtown district, allowing the local culture to develop into something uniquely Orlando.

From the historic homes of Eola Heights to the stylish bungalows of Thornton Park to the high-rise apartments in the North Quarter District, Downtown Orlando offers living arrangements to suit any taste and fit any budget.
