Downtown Orlando
Why It’s Hot:
Downtown Orlando has become the “it” place to live for young professionals, attorneys, doctors, families, you name it. The area has grown tremendously with the addition of the Amway Center and all of the businesses that have opened. Imagine being able to walk to Publix, 7 Eleven, the movies, Magic Games and concerts, countless restaurants, and any kind of nightlife you desire. Where else can you enjoy a wine flight and cheese plate at 101 Eola; tapas, freshly made sangria, and live Flamenco music at Ceviche; and then end the night at the 80s music favorite, the Lodge. Did I mention this is all from walking distance from your luxury high rise condo where you can view the city lights every night? In downtown Orlando, there is always something to do. Every 3rd Thursday, there is an Art Walk where you can visit all of the new exhibits at the art galleries downtown like CityArts Factory and the Gallery at Avalon Island. Every Sunday, there is a Farmer’s Market from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and often there are festivals on the weekends that families and friends can enjoy. The new Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts has started construction and is slated to be finished in a few years. This will only add more value to the downtown Real Estate. You will then be able to walk to a Broadway play or a ballet! Downtown Orlando is thriving with excitement and culture. There is something for everyone.
