Orlando
The City Beautiful earns its nickname, from its gorgeous lakes and bright, sunny skies to its pristine streets and beautiful architecture. Lake Eola Park, with its swan-shaped paddle boats and majestic fountain, provides an oasis in the city that's ideal for weekend picnics and afternoon lunch breaks. Located in the heart of Florida, the beaches of either coast (Gulf and Atlantic) are accessible in roughly an hour’s drive from Orlando. While it is known for being the home of prominent theme parks like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World, Orlando is also the county seat and home to one of the largest universities in the United States, the University of Central Florida. The city contains the Orange County Convention Center, the second-largest convention center in the country, in addition to the busy Orlando International Airport. Orlando is a city of neighborhoods, offering a broad range of apartments, townhomes, and houses available for rent in an array of styles and environments, whether you’re more partial to living in the heart of the city or a quiet suburb. Getting around the Orlando area is simple with access to multiple major highways, including I-4, the 408, 417, 528, and more. After moving to Orlando, you’ll enjoy easy access to attractions like the Florida Mall, International Drive, the Orlando Science Center, Camping World Stadium (home of the MLS Orlando City) and Amway Center (home of the NBA Orlando Magic).
