So you want to move to Orlando?

Are you thinking about moving to sunny, central Florida? If so, you're not alone! Many people vacation here every year and think the same thing! Here are a few reasons why Orlando just might be the perfect place for you and your family.

Reason #1: The Economy is Booming

Orlando is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, thanks in large part to a booming economy. Jobs are plentiful in a variety of industries, including tourism, healthcare, and technology. And with its low cost of living and no state income tax, Orlando is an affordable place to live.

Reason #2: The Beaches are Amazing

Orlando may be inland, but the city is surrounded by world-famous beaches, many within a two hour drive. And with year-round warm weather, you can enjoy the beach any time of year!

Reason #3: There's So Much to Do!

Disney World, Universal, Epcot, SeaWorld... all well known attractions, but the city is constantly adding new parks to the list. Have you heard about the Peppa Pig theme park? And if you prefer to adventure outside the crowds, there are tons of trails for hiking and biking, natural springs for exploring and plenty of lakes for boating and fishing.

Reason #4: It's Family Friendly

Orlando is a great place to raise a family. In addition to its many attractions and parks, the city also offers excellent public schools and safe neighborhoods. We've enjoyed taking our kiddos to the farmer's markets, playgrounds, holiday festivities, Orlando Science Center, the zoo, trampoline parks, and more. Families will love calling Orlando home!

Reason #5: Big City Amenities with a Small Town Feel

If you're looking for all the fun of a big city but the small town feel, you'll be surprised to find it in central Florida! If you choose to live in a suburb to the north, east or west of downtown Orlando, you won't 'feel' the tourist traffic, but instead, it's likely you'll run into a neighbor or work colleague at the grocery store! Orlando has great shopping, dining and entertainment events (think Magic Basketball, Solar Bears Hockey and a variety of big name bands, musicians and comedians every weekend).

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons to move to Orlando! Whether you're looking for job opportunities, amazing beaches, or family-friendly activities, you'll find it all in this beautiful Florida city. Come see for yourself! I'll be happy to show you around and help you find the perfect home here in Orlando!

As always, thanks for being here!
