A Focus on Downtown Orlando Real Estate

Downtown Orlando can be a fit for absolutely anyone looking for an area to settle in. Looking for a high-rise penthouse condo? Got it! Looking for a cute little antique bungalow on a brick street? Got it! Looking for a comfortable 5 bedroom home on the lake? Got it! Looking for a modern townhouse within walking distance to local shops and eateries? Got it! Downtown literally has every kind of residential living unit you can imagine. You'll find both old and new homes, shopping, restaurants, cafes, wine bars, pizza joints, lakes with walking trails, neighborhood parks, and tons of beautiful old trees. There's also the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center where you can catch a touring Broadway show and the Amway Arena home to the Orlando Magic and also a phenomenal concert venue.

Picturing a life lived in Downtown Orlando could involve something as luxurious and contemporary as a sprawling penthouse apartment in a high-rise with an expansive skyline view over a glass-walled balcony, the lobby walls lined in modern art, a sparkling roof-top swimming pool, and every imaginable comfort and amenity. It could also be as simple as a little two-bedroom cottage on a brick street with a little picket fence, herb garden, crepe myrtles, and view of the lake in front of the house from the rocking chair front porch. The little café down the street is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon and most people just walk there since it's so close. How about for a big family? You could envision a large home on one of our skiable lakes weekends lounging on the sandy beach in the backyard by the water. Taking the kids out on the boat for the afternoon and ending the day with a barbeque out by the pool.

Downtown is a fabulous spot when looking for things to do. There are always events going on somewhere Lake Eola is famous for hosting huge venues on a regular basis and is the site of the Walt Disney Amphitheatre where you can catch an outdoor play or concert. You can also rent a swan shaped paddle boat or an electric gondola or even feed the resident swans. There's the history center which hosts a really cool retro game night. The entire center, all three floors, is filled with all the old-school board games from childhood like twister, clue, mystery date, candy land, scrabble, and more. There's a market on Sunday's, a brand new movie theatre, all the nightlife you could possibly want, and a variety of places to enjoy a lazy afternoon or a drink with friends.

Keep in mind Downtown Orlando is the most central location in the area. It' a great access point no matter where you work since major highways run alongside of it. Most areas of Orlando can be reached within 20 minutes. Condos can be found in the immediate downtown area for anywhere from $40,000 - $1.5M, single family homes are available from $165,000 - $1.6M with skiable lakefront homes available from $165,000 - $1.85M. At those prices, Downtown Orlando offers something for everyone.
