Coming of Age

Orlando’s sudden boom in popularity is the result of an increasingly diverse regional economy, combined with a comfortable lifestyle, especially for families. The excellent weather helps, as do remarkably affordable homes and no state income tax.

LOOK AROUND Tourists often overlook Orlando’s vibrant communities, each a part of the region’s history. Also, the many boutique shops, notable restaurants, and neighborhood lakes. BEST ADDRESSED LIST In a city of distinct enclaves, the leafy lanes of College Park, Winter Park, and Winter Garden are some of the most desirable. FUN IS EVERYWHERE Locals head to the shore at Cocoa Beach or act like tourists and go to the theme parks. Also, water activities, biking, horseback riding, and hiking.
