Exploring Central Florida

Florida would likely have been a very different place today had it not been for the decision of Walt and Roy Disney to purchase a land at southwest Orlando for their new themepark – Disney World. Florida, particularly the central region of the state, was brought to life because of Disney World. This gave way to the development of many similar attractions around the central region of the state. Florida’s centre actually has the most number of amusement parks anywhere in the world, including eleven major theme parks such as Sea World, Universal Studios and, of course, Disney World. But central Florida is not only known for theme parks. The region has over 100 natural lakes. There are more than twenty golf courses in the city alone, and many others in the nearby metropolitan area. Thus, visitors as well as residents can take some much needed peaceful time away from the hustle and bustle of Disney World et al. It is not surprising then that Florida’s central region has become such a hit to overseas buyers especially the Brits who prefer it than other areas of Florida.

Adding to its popularity are the prices in the region that tend to be lower than those in other famous areas of the state, particularly Gulf Coast and Miami. According to Suzanne Morrill of World of Florida, “Condominiums around the Orlando area can be purchased from around the upper $200,000s to early $300,000s, while three-bedroom villas start from about $350,000. However, you should be aware that most of the condos/town houses are on resort developments so there are often higher monthly home owner association charges to cover looking after the central clubhouse, cinema rooms etcetera.”
