There are
about 40 million visitors that arrive in
Orlando every year, and a large portion of
them stay! So, what draws so many to the
area? Well, there are the theme parks, but
the real question is: why do so many stay?
There are hundreds of reasons why this area
is so popular but I will only name the best
reasons.
About 2
years ago a family comes to Florida from
Michigan. They just came down to see Disney
and Sea World and they stayed in an
Orlando Vacation Home. They ended up
taking a day trip around Central Florida to
see what the REAL Florida looked like. The
children are 7 and 14, and the father owns
his own roofing company, and the mother is a
secretary. The family decides that they
really love the Kissimmee area and being so
close to all the theme parks is just a great
perk. The Family moves down to Florida about
6 month later and they found beautiful
Orlando Homes for Sale,
located about 8 miles from Disney. The area
they live in now is wonderful gated community
with parks and miles of trails.
Small
communities like this one are scattered all
throughout the Central Florida area. Their
home offers a great view of the lake and
walking distance to school. It’s perfect,
the wife’s company relocated her to a sister
company In Orlando (which is only 20 minutes
away). The father moved his business down
here and began with lots of jobs. The seven
year old loved the fact that he lives so
close to Disney but the 14 year old was
slightly upset that she had to leave all of
her friends in Michigan. After 3 months, the
whole family began to adjust to the new
setting and really couldn’t picture
themselves in any other place in the world!
This is just
one of many success stories from real people
who live in Florida. Most people come down
just to go on vacation and the fact is, it
is so beautiful that no one wants to leave.
Over the past 20 years the population of
Central Florida has exploded into a thriving
tourist destination. This means the number
of jobs was surpassing the number of
residents. So people flocked to this area.
That in turn increased the necessity of
grocery stores, hair salons, police,
hospitals, schools, etc. This growth began
to excel at a very rapid pace and the market
for homes went through the roof! Nowadays
the market is very stable, with the average
home costing around 130,000 in a decent
location. The cost of living is a bit higher
here but the jobs pay way more than some
other parts of the country. The reason for
the slightly higher cost of living is fact
that you have everything you need at your
finger tips. Great hospitals, great schools,
world class restaurants, and of course a
whole world of entertainment! Unless snow
shoveling is your profession, then there is
work for you. There are jobs in almost every
field here in Central Florida. With the
population growing everyday, there is a
demand for services like landscaping,
construction, office jobs, and even
independent business owners!
So on your
next visit to
Orlando, just take a look around
and picture yourself living in this
wonderful, thriving tropical paradise in the
heart of Florida! Don’t forget that you are
only 40 minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean
and only 90 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico.
When you live in Central Florida you are 40
minutes from Port Canaveral where many very
popular cruise ship dock. Fort Lauderdale
and Miami are only a 3 ½ hour drive from
Orlando. Another great reason why living in
Central Florida is that the cost of living
is cheaper than south Florida but you’re
only about 6 hours from the Florida keys! A
world of paradise awaits you when you buy
you first piece of Florida real estate. One
last thing, Florida does not have state
income tax!
