Named after a local flower, Goldenrod is a college town just northeast of Downtown Orlando. Full Sail University lies nearby, drawing in students to fill some of the apartment complexes and single-family homes. “It’s a quiet, family-oriented community with great schools and a great location,” says Nohora Gomez, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty and 11 years of experience. “The high school especially is amazing, and you’re only a few minutes from the airport. There’s a lot of new construction as well. It’s just a good area.”
Apartment rentals are another great option for those looking to move to Goldenrod.
Full Sail University is a private university located on the edge of the Goldenrod neighborhood.
