Orlando is full of vibrant communities, attracting hundreds of thousands of new residents and millions of visitors every year. Here at Authentic Real Estate Team, we have handpicked the very best of these communities, ensuring that our home buyers find homes where their families can thrive, and our investors find properties that promise the best return on their dollar. AS SEEN IN WHY BUY A HOME IN ORLANDO, FL? Orlando is probably best known as the home of Disney World, but it's more than just a great place to vacation. With fantastic weather year round, a robust job market, safe neighborhoods and great schools, Orlando is also one of the best places in the country to live! Here are just a few of the assets that make homes for sale in Orlando, Florida great options for so many families, including yours! READ MORE AMAZING WEATHER * They don't call it the "Sunshine State" for nothing! * Florida's weather stays beautiful for all 12 months of the year. * And Orlando's weather is no exception. * Summers get very hot, but are tempered by frequent afternoon showers. * But the winter months in Orlando are sublime. * As reflected in the aptly named towns of Winter Park and Winter Garden - favorite playgrounds of "snowbirds" going back decades. AESTHETIC BEAUTY * The only thing more beautiful than Orlando's weather might just be Orlando itself. * Lake-dotted, peppered with palms, full of parks and meticulously manicured landscaping, there's a reason they call Orlando the "City Beautiful." * Even Orlando's less-than-natural side is a thing of beauty. * With smartly planned grids, and exquisite examples of modernist, postmodern, and art deco architecture combining in a rich tapestry of styles, Downtown Orlando gives cityscapes the world over a run for their money. * And of course, the Orlando houses for sale by Authentic Real Estate Team reflect that same commitment to beauty. SAFETY AND SECURITY * Are you looking for a safe place to raise your family? * Then Orlando might be it! * Of course, Orlando, like any major city, has a few pockets of high crime. * But they are small and generally easy to avoid. * The Greater Orlando Area, on the other hand, which comprises over 4,000 square miles and over 100 distinct neighborhoods, has plenty of highly safe areas! * With neighborhoods like Maitland, Oviedo, Windermere, Winter Park, and Winter Springs accounting for some of the safest spots in the state! GREAT SCHOOLS * While Florida as a state ranks relatively low in terms of public education, certain parts of Florida have stellar reputations. * Like Orlando, for instance! * Orlando is home to several A- and B-rated school districts. * Such as Seminole County, Orange County, and Volusia County. * Which contain scores of A-rated schools. * Such as Trinity Prep School, Wilson Elementary, Sabal Point Elementary, Orlando Science High/Middle School, Winter Park High School, and Oviedo High School. A RENOWNED CULINARY CULTURE * Orlando has earned a reputation as one of the great food cities in the country. * From its fleets of food trucks, to fine-dining restaurants like the Venetian Chophouse and Victoria Albert's, it' s a food lover's paradise. * And with an abundance of dining establishments, it's a great place to live if you work in the industry, too. A VIBRANT ART SCENE * Orlando is a progressive city with a thriving art scene. * There are plays at venues like the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center, Orlando Repertory Theater, and the annual Orlando Fringe Fest. * There are showings at galleries like City Arts Orlando, Ocean Blue Gallery, and the Grand Bohemian. * As well as concerts at the Amway Arena, Plaza Live, and the Social. * In addition to experiencing art in a visceral, urgent way, you can also take your time and learn about it as you stroll through one of Orlando's many art museums. * Like the Orlando Museum of Art, the Mennello Museum of American Art, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of Modern American Art. LOW COST OF LIVING * For a major American city, Orlando, Florida has a very low cost of living. * Prices on everyday goods and services are extremely reasonable compared to similarly sized cities like Seattle and Portland. * And there's no state income tax! * Additionally, and apropos of this page, houses for sale in Orlando, FL are very affordable. * Even large luxury homes, of which the Orlando, FL area has many for sale, can be had at great deals compared to comparable homes in comparable cities. ORLANDO'S THEME PARKS AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS - NOT JUST FOR TOURISTS! * Who says you have to be on vacation to enjoy the magic of Orlando's theme parks! * As an Orlando resident, you'll have access to them all year long. * From the four parks that make up the Walt Disney World Resort, to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, to SeaWorld, Orlando's famous theme parks will add a little magic to your everyday life. * And if you're looking for something a bit less expensive, crowded, and time-consuming, Orlando also has tons of smaller-scale attractions, great for an afternoon outing. * Like Andretti Speedway, Fun Spot America, Ripley's Believe it or Not!, and the Wheel at Icon Park, the 8th tallest observation wheel in the world! ORLANDO'S TOURISM INDUSTRY * As the vacation capital of the world, Orlando naturally benefits from a strongly tourism-based economy. * And as Orlando's theme parks continue to grow in number, size, and popularity, so too does job security for the people that live there. * No matter where you look for Orlando, FL homes for sale, you'll never be far from one of their world-famous theme parks. * And the parks are always hiring! * Orlando's theme parks pay well, and they come with all the magical perks you'd expect. * Like discounts on admission, merchandise, and food! * And reduced wait times for select employees. * They also offer generous medical benefits. * And some, like Disney, will even pay for your education! STRONG NON-TOURISM SECTORS * Tourism isn't the only game in town in Orlando. * The city is quickly becoming a world leader in other sectors, too. * Like tech, with Lockheed Martin, L3 Harris, and Summit Broadband all headquartered in the area. * And the culinary sector, with Orlando consistently ranked as a top "foodie" city in the country. * Another Orlando sector that's really taken off in recent years is its medical sector. * As home to Lake Nona Medical City, a leading center for medical research and education, Orlando attracts medical students, educators, and researchers from around the world. * And as home Advent Health's immense network of healthcare facilities, it attracts its fair share of medical practitioners, as well. REQUEST A CONTACT TODAY! VACATION HOMES FOR SALE IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA * We've gone over why Orlando is more than just a great place to visit. * But it's even more than just a great place to live! * Orlando's popularity as a vacation destination is growing every year. * And so is the popularity of vacation homes. * Vacation homes for sale in Orlando, Florida give you the best of two worlds: * A convenient, luxurious place to stay when you visit... * And a smart investment, providing steady passive income the rest of the year. * The areas that allow short term rentals, however, and maybe somewhat ironically given Orlando's reputation, are fairly limited. * Read on to learn more about these specific areas and the kinds of vacation homes they offer! SEE ALL VACATION HOMES FOR SALE IN ORLANDO HOMES FOR SALE NEAR ORLANDO, FLORIDA * Orlando is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. * Taking in an average of 60 thousand new residents a year. * And it's also home to one of the country's fastest-growing real estate markets. * From urban to new urbanism, to suburbs, exurbs, and all things in between, the Orlando real estate market has exploded into a huge patchwork of properties. * Orlando is also extremely heterogeneous. * Full of neighborhoods and developments that have distinct characters all their own. * But unless you have a comprehensive knowledge of the area, it can be easy to overlook them. * World-famous travel writer and television host, Samantha Brown, puts it best when she says: * "There are lots of great areas people might not know about around Orlando." * But even though it can be challenging to find the perfect Orlando area by yourself, if you've found this page, you're off to a great start! * Because as Central Florida's premier real estate firm for a decade, Authentic Real Estate Team has the most comprehensive area knowledge of any real estate service in Orlando. * Meaning, whatever your real estate needs, we can help you find the Orlando, Florida homes for sale to meet them! SEE ALL HOMES FOR SALE NEAR ORLANDO FL ORLANDO, FL HOMES FOR SALE NEAR DISNEY Disney World has been a kind of Shangri-La for kids since it opened in 1971. But over time, it's begun to exert a near equally strong pull on grownups, too. Here are a few of the best Orlando, Florida towns with homes for sale near Disney: Not for theme park fun, but for Orlando real estate! WINTER GARDEN Just 15 minutes north of Disney lies one of Orlando's most in-demand places to live, Winter Garden. Assets of this all-residential Orlando town include great schools, luxury houses for sale, and lots of Old-Florida charm. WINDERMERE This upscale Orlando, FL neighborhood boasts some of the most impressive homes for sale in all of Central Florida. It's residential only, which helps keep home values up. Other perks include A-rated schools and, with one of the lowest crime rates in the country, safety. KISSIMMEE Kissimmee might be the dark horse of the Orlando real estate market. Houses for sale in this unique confluence of pastureland and urban sprawl are less luxurious than elsewhere near Disney, but this charming Orlando town is full of great properties at great deals. And, it's short term rental-friendly, which, along with its proximity to Disney, makes it a great place to invest! DAVENPORT Another vacation home-friendly town close to Disney, Davenport, like Kissimmee, is a good place to invest.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR FULL LINEUP OF ORLANDO HOMES FOR SALE NEAR UCF! ORLANDO, FL HOMES FOR SALE NEAR UNIVERSAL Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure is one of the most famous, most visited, theme parks in the world. Ironically, the area surrounding the park is, with very few exceptions, residential only. But the residents don't seem too worried about it. Because with A-rated Orange County schools, I-Drive and Sand Lake Road (with its famous Restaurant Row) located within walking distance, and with the jobs these local amenities provide, the Universal Studios area is a great place to live year round!

Q: ARE HOMES FOR SALE IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA MORE AFFORDABLE THAN OTHER MAJOR US CITIES? A: Yes! With a population of almost a third of a million, and a growth rate of over 60,000 new residents a year, Orlando, FL is one of the biggest, fast-growing cities in the country. So you might expect that, like other large, fast-growing cities, Orlando would be an expensive place to live. Not so! Compared to comparably sized cities, Orlando's cost-of-living index is quite low. With essential expenses like groceries, gas, and healthcare, all exceedingly reasonable. While luxury expenses like dining out and retail don't entail luxury prices. And, of course, don't forget to add home prices to that list! At just 275,000 dollars, the average home value in Orlando is hundreds of thousands of dollars less than in similarly sized cities. 200 thousand dollars less than the comparably populated city of Yonkers, New York. And a whopping 500 thousand dollars less than Irvine, California. Now, add to that the fact that Florida doesn't impose a state income tax, as well as the fact of Orlando's strong job market, and you'll see that anybody can afford to live in Orlando, Florida. Including you! Q: WHAT ARE THE BEST PLACES WITH HOMES FOR SALE IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA? A: With More than 100 Distinct Neighborhoods, Orlando Has a Surfeit of Great Areas to Live for Buyers of All Needs!

It has also been recognized for its great efforts, and great success, in closing the achievement gap between student groups. * Orlando Science Elementary Charter School - This charter school is known for high test scores, a steady rate of improvement over time, and, as a charter school, for tailoring its curriculum to the individual needs of students. * Orlando Science Middle High Charter School - Like its sister school, Orlando Science Elementary, Orlando Science Middle and High School caters to a wide array of student needs, presenting lessons in a way that draws on individual student strengths to better reinforce the material. * Windy Ridge K-8 - Windy Ridge ranks well above the state average in test scores, year-to-year test score improvement, and accommodations for disadvantaged students. * Orange County Virtual School - The only non-brick-and-mortar school to make our list, Orange County Virtual School lets students learn from the comfort of home. But this virtual school is no compromise for the real deal. Orange County Virtual School ranks far above the state average along college- and career-readiness measures. Q: HOW CAN I FIND THE BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT TO HELP ME FIND HOMES FOR SALE IN ORLANDO, FL? A: This one's easy. Orlando's real estate market is huge and diverse. And homes here are incredibly affordable. That's good news if you're looking for homes for sale in Orlando, Florida. With such a diverse market and great prices, there's something for everyone. But narrowing down the Orlando Area's 4,000 square miles to one perfect property can be daunting. And while prices are generally good, competition can be fierce. But a great realtor can solve these problems. A great realtor is an area expert, with the knowledge to find your perfect location. They are market experts, with the instincts to know if the asking price is fair or unfair. They are style connoseurs, with the eye to match you to the perfect home. And they are shrewd negotiators, with the skills to get you the price you deserve. Come to think of it, by those criteria, they're a lot like the realtors at Authentic Real Estate Team! Q: CAN A FOREIGNER BUY A HOME IN ORLANDO? A: Of Course! Orlando is famous the world over. Every year, its theme parks bring millions of tourists from around the world to the City Beautiful. But lately, and at an increasing rate, people from around the world are beginning to see Orlando as more than just a great place to vacation. They're beginning to see it as a great place to buy homes, too. Whether you're an investor capitalizing on the rise of short-term rentals, or you're just looking for a home away from home in the States, Orlando's is quickly becoming one of the country's most popular real estate markets for foreign nationals. Q: WHERE ARE THE BEST TOWNHOUSES FOR SALE IN ORLANDO? A: It Depends on Your Needs! Orlando has a wide range of townhouses for sale to meet every need. From economic to lavish, these vertically inclined homes are suitable for couples and families just starting out, established careerists, retirees, and everyone in between! Some townhouses, like those found in Kissimmee and Davenport, even come with pools! But generally speaking, townhomes can be found in virtually every corner of Orlando. And Authentic Real Estate Team can help you find the corner that's just right for you! Q: WHERE ARE THE BEST CONDOS FOR SALE IN ORLANDO? A: Downtown! Actually, condos, like townhouses, can be found in abundance throughout Orlando. And, like townhouses, they come in a variety of options But you asked where you could find the best condos for sale in Orlando. And if you're looking for the best, the best place to start is Downtown. Condos here are high end. And, of course, they come with all the benefits of living Downtown. Such as all your basic needs - like groceries, the court house, and maybe even work - within walking distance. As well as your not-so-basic needs, like world-class bars and restaurants, a pulsing nightlife, and great shopping. Downtown condos are also on the high end of the price spectrum. But you get what you pay for. And with Authentic Real Estate Team, you can be sure that what you pay for is worth what you pay. Q: WHERE ARE THE BEST APARTMENTS FOR SALE IN ORLANDO? A: Apartments Generally Aren't for Sale. You might have been mistaking "apartments" for "condos." If so, no worries - it's an easy mistake to make! But single apartments generally aren't for sale; it's apartment buildings that can be mortgaged, while the single apartments, in turn, are rented out by the owner/landlord. However, if you're used to apartments and apartment rates, a condo could be a natural next step. Condos are similar to apartments in size and amenities. And their price puts them within reach of just about anyone. Especially with Authentic Real Estate Team there to make sure they get the price they deserve. Q: WHAT IS THERE TO DO IN ORLANDO? A: Perhaps the Better Question is, What isn't There to Do in Orlando! As the tourist capital of the world, Orlando’s economy is built on great things to do. From man-made marvels like theme parks and large entertainment venues, to more natural offerings like our beautiful lakes and springs, Orlando is full of great things to do for people of all interests, ages, and means. As your Orlando Area experts, Authentic Real Estate Team has the lowdown on the best things to do In Orlando. Here are our top five: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. THEME PARKS When much of the world thinks of Orlando, Florida, they probably think of theme parks. From Disney World, to Universal Studios, to SeaWorld, to the many sister parks into which these three can be further divided, Orlando’s theme parks aren’t just for kids. There’s something for everyone! You can go around the world in an afternoon at EPCOT, sampling the food and drink of some of the planet’s most interesting cultures. Or, for a more thrilling time, check out Universal Studios’ sister park, Islands of Adventure, home to some of the best roller coasters and high-tech 3D dark rides in the country. And of course, Disney World is a must if you have kids. The only downsides to the parks are that, first of all, they can be pricey. And second, if you don't have an annual pass, or at least multi-day tickets, it can be hard to cram everything into one day. But Orlando also features lots of smaller, less expensive parks and amusement centers Like Fun Spot America, Andretti, Icon Park, and Wonderworks. These parks are small enough to experience in one day. And they won't break the bank! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SPRINGS While theme parks are perhaps what Orlando is most famous for, its most distinctive feature has to be its natural springs. In fact, Orlando boasts more springs than anywhere else on planet earth. This is due to Florida's geological makeup being mostly porous limestone. As well as to its low elevation close to sea level. These factors combine to make Florida a sort of sponge, full of water crisscrossing in a huge underground network known collectively as the Floridan Aquifer System. And in Orlando, where water makes up nearly %10 of the overall area, that system comes bubbling to the surface in a wealth of cold, crystal clear springs. These springs afford visitors many fun and exciting things to do. From tubing down the lazy river at Rock Springs. To canoeing down gator-gorged Snake Creek at Blue Springs. To scuba diving in an underworld of submerged caverns at Devil's Den. The springs can be relaxing or thrilling, depending on which ones you visit, as well as your interests and abilities. Because they originate underground, they stay a refreshing 72 degrees year round, making them the ultimate way to beat the Florida heat. And, with park fees usually running just a couple of dollars, they cost practically nothing! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. DR. PHILLIPS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Orlando has a vital and vibrant performing arts scene. It can be seen in the many repertory theaters that pepper the town. As well as in the many independent live music venues. Like the Social, the Plaza Live, and Will's Pub. But the heart of Orlando's performing arts scene is the beautiful Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center. This massive, multi-hall venue takes up two whole city blocks. It consists of three halls: The Walt Disney Theater - a 2,700-seat auditorium for touring Broadway shows and concerts. Steinmetz Hall - with 1,700-seat capacity, this hall features opera, orchestral music, and ballet. The Pugh Theater - not your typical black box theater, this ornately decorated 300-seat space features smaller shows and events. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ROCKET LAUNCHES While they don't technically take place in Orlando, the rocket launches at nearby Cape Canaveral are well worth the half-hour drive. They're a must-see spectacle. Try to picture it: you arrive at one of several viewing sites in the twilight of early morning, the grass still dewy but beginning to steam. You shuffle to your seat on the bleachers, the aluminum still cool to the touch. The tension is palpable - no one knows for sure if the launch will go off as scheduled, or if it will be a success. Finally, as the countdown begins, you pass the point of no return. So have the astronauts, you think to yourself, somewhat envious, somewhat happy you're staying no the ground. Then it starts - a sudden brilliant bloom of orange and yellow from the boosters, filling the dark morning like a second sun, its roar filling your chest, vibrating the bleachers. And then, against the most fundamental forces of nature, the very laws that kept us earthbound for millions of years, the rocket and its 64-ton payload levitates up and off the platform. At first it seems to be fighting gravity. And that gravity might even win. But soon, the rocket is speeding toward the heavens, slipping through the atmosphere with all the ease and speed of a bullet from a gun. Can you picture it? No doubt you're picturing something, but even the most vivid imagination can't do a launch justice. You have to see it for yourself! But don't worry if you can't make it out to Cape Canaveral every time. Most homes for sale in Orlando, FL, give owners a (albeit tiny) view of the rockets from their own back yards! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. THE ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER Opened in 1960, the Orlando Science Center has been on a mission to "inspire science learning for life" for more than fifty years. And their mission has been a resounding success. With half a million visitors showing up every year to learn and, in turn spread, their gospel of science. And with all that popularity, as well as continued philanthropic funding, helping to grow the center to its current size of more than 200,000 square feet. The museum houses an amazing 6 floors of exhibits, some of which are hands-on. These exhibits cover a range of topics. From eco-science, to astronomy, to physics. There are also two movie theaters, showing science related media as well as select Hollywood fare. The first theater, called the Dr. Phillips Cinedome, projects the world's largest film format (15/70) through a fisheye lens onto a huge concave screen, to create a one-of-a-kind immersive experience. The second, the Digital Adventure Theater, partners with National Geographic to source films from the world's largest giant-screen film library. The Orlando Science Center also hosts a variety of annual events. Like the Science of Wine, Neanderthal Ball, Science Night Live, and the Otronicon gaming and simulation conference. Q: WHAT IS THERE TO DO IN ORLANDO WITH KIDS? A: Whatever They Can Dream Up! When the Walt Disney World Resort opened in 1971, Orlando began a radical transformation. The result was Orlando as we know it today: a city built on children's dreams, where the magic of Disney inspires other local businesses to think magically. For kids, that makes Orlando nothing short of Shangri La. A dream destination for vacation; while, as a place to live, existing beyond the realms of what seems possible. Trust us - moving your kids to Orlando will earn you a lifetime supply of "cool points." And with lots of great Orlando houses for sale, and Authentic Real Estate Team to help you land a great deal, you might just award yourself a few, too. Here are just a few of the things your kids will love to do in Orlando: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. THE CRAYOLA EXPERIENCE The humble crayon. If you have kids, you're bound to have them around. You pick them up off the floor, you clean their marks off your walls. But what if there was a place where the fun of crayons didn't entail the cleanup - or not for you, anyway. The Crayola Experience at the Florida Mall is that place. This museum/store seeks to educate visitors about the history, manufacturing process, and products of Crayola crayons. There are interactive exhibits, a Crayola Hall of Fame for retired colors, and a "Discovery Center" showcasing how Crayola crayons are made. And, of course, there's the Art Station. Where your kids will find the ultimate one-of-a-kind souvenir - one they made themselves. The Crayola Experience is a fun, cheap, and educational way to spend an afternoon with the kids. And with tons of luxury Orlando houses for sale nearby, the surrounding area is a great place to spend the rest of your life! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. THE MAGIC KINGDOM The Magic Kingdom, or Disney World as it's more commonly known, is the most famous, most visited theme park in the world. It's also one of the most kid-friendly. There are no death-defying roller coasters here. Nor any trace of the educational missions laid out by places like EPCOT and SeaWorld. The Magic Kingdom's mission is simple: to give kids the time of their lives. And at Disney World, they're guaranteed to have it. They're guaranteed to see their favorite Disney characters from beloved films and TV shows. They'll hear novel arrangements of their favorite Disney songs pumped through the intercom. They'll eat an inadvisable amount of sugar! And, for years to come, they'll look back on it as one of the best days of their childhoods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. THE SEA LIFE AQUARIUM AT ICON PARK Sea Life is Orlando's number-one aquarium! It features state-of-the-art exhibits, many of them interactive. Your kids will love getting to touch live starfish, sharks, and stingrays! There are also entertaining and informative shows and presentations scheduled throughout the day. And marine biology experts always close at hand to answer all your deep-diving questions. It's all part of Sea Life's larger mission of conservation through education. In fact, the company operates three wildlife sanctuaries, one in the UK and one in Australia. Where they shelter and rehab seals, penguins, and otters. They also partner with other conservation agencies, like Greenpeace, in addition to running their own campaigns, to advocate for the likes of loggerhead turtles, mako sharks, and other species threatened by pollution and over-fishing. And, as a bonus to your visit to Sea Life Aquarium, you can take advantage of Icon Park's other unique attractions. Like The Wheel at Icon Park, the world's 8th tallest ferris wheel. Or Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, where your kids can meet everyone from Harry Potter to Walt Disney. Well, the wax versions at least. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. GATORLAND Gatorland is one of Orlando's most iconic attractions. And it's one your kids will remember for a lifetime. Because kids' minds are populated by fantastic beasts. And nothing makes an impression on them like seeing one in the flesh. The specimens at Gatorland are certainly fantastic. Like star of the park, Chester, a 13-foot-long alligator. Then there's Bonecrusher II, a 15-foot American crocodile sure crawl inside their imaginations and nest for life. And with lots of great real estate - from houses, to condos, to townhomes - for sale in nearby East Orlando, Florida, Gatorland is an experience you can share any time you want! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. WORLD OF CHOCOLATE MUSEUM The first museum of its kind, World of Chocolate is a museum your kids will actually like! 6-foot-tall chocolate statues and free samples will keep them captivated while they learn about the history of chocolate. And while mom and dad sneak a few chocolate/wine sample pairings. There's also a lot of great real estate nearby.
