  2. If you are into Mediterranean Style homes such as these burgeoning with travertine accents and tile roofs then Orlando is the place for you!  You can find these gems in both existing and new construction communities in areas such as Windermere, Lake Mary, Winter Park and Lake Nona.

  4. Want to know one of my favorite areas to live in all of the Greater Orlando area?  Altamonte Springs! 

    Why because I love the new Uptown Altamonte and Cranes Roost Park area also the Altamonte Mall one of the largest and most well-known shopping malls in the area. Throughout the year you will find residents and out-of-towners enjoying the park. Altamonte Springs also hosts tons of events here at no cost. Some of the events include the locally famous “Red Hot and Boom,” Central Florida’s most popular 4th of July fireworks display (which always takes place on July 3rd so as not to take away from Downtown Orlando’s celebration on the 4th). 

    Crane’s Roost also hosts Friday Night Live where guests can enjoy a FREE concert at the Amphitheater on select Fridays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. throughout the month. Of course if you’re willing to splurge a few extra dollars you can purchase food and beverages from the surrounding vendors.  You can always find great festivals going on as well from Food and Wine Shows to Latin Heritage Festivals it is all here.

  8. In Orlando, FL we have many “Florida Rooms” which are really many variations on a back porch.  It’s pretty much a staple of living here and while we Floridian’s love our Florida Rooms they are often lackluster, boring and cluttered with the mildewy patio furniture of yesteryear. Installing a rustic Fireplace to an beautifully enclosed Florida room is innovative idea that will transform this space into a year round magnet room that retains its outdoor character while optimizing its use for family, guests and parties.

  11. For those of us who are fascinated with green living and small footprints. Architects Darrick Borowski and Danny Orenstein show us that it’s possible to live quite comfortably in 500 square feet (46 sq m). From stairs that act as storage drawers, to a loft bed, this place uses every square inch of space!

  13. An amazing sunset at Point Orlando off of tourist mecca know as International Drive (a.k.a. “I-Drive” to us locals).  The Improv Comedy club is located there, best comedy in Orlando, plus a myriad of other venues and shops.  When we went we laughed till we were in tears and stitches. You can live close to this interesting part of town by checking out the Dr. Phillips/Windermere area.  Yup, it is a bit pricier but totally worth it.  Search here.
