If you're relocating to Orlando, Florida, you have a surprise in store for you. Instead of worrying whether you'll find a new home that you'll like, you'll be worrying about which one of the fabulous Orlando new homes you'll choose. After all, you can choose a home on a lake, with a dock and a boat by your back door.

You can choose a home near one of the many state forests, bird sanctuaries, or nature preserves. Walk directly out of your house to jog or hike among tropical flowers and exotic birds! The Orlando area has over 1,200 lakes, five major state parks or state forests, and over 100 smaller regional parks.

Close To The Beaches

If you choose an Orlando new home, you're only 70 minutes from the beaches on the coast. That's little more than an hour on the freeway to famous Cocoa Beach, Ormond Beach, and Daytona Beach. Your Orlando new home will also be only minutes away from Disney World, Universal Studios Tour, SeaWorld, and other attractions.

Even though the Orlando economy is booming, with $17 billion annually from tourism alone, there are many small communities on the outskirts of Orlando that are safe, quiet, and surrounded by natural beauty. You can enjoy the advantages of a sophisticated city, but you can live in the country. Some small communities such as Heathrow, Tuscawilla, Lake Mary, Oviedo and Winter Springs have homes for sale that are almost rural, and many Central Florida real estate buys are either on a lakefront or with a lake view.
