    Orlando.

    Theme Parks, Diverse Neighborhoods & a Thriving Economy

    Orlando is far more than theme parks. While Walt Disney World, Universal, and SeaWorld dominate the skyline south of the city, the residential areas of Orlando tell a completely different story — one of incredible diversity, strong career opportunities, and an enviable quality of life. The Lake Nona Medical City is one of the fastest-growing innovation districts in the US. Winter Park's Park Avenue district rivals any upscale shopping street in the Southeast. The suburbs of Windermere, Dr. Phillips, and Oviedo offer excellent schools and family-friendly communities. And for young professionals, the Mills 50 district, Thornton Park, and College Park neighborhoods offer a vibrant urban lifestyle without the price tags of coastal Florida.
