Resort-style living in Central Florida with a suburban twist
Fourteen miles south of Walt Disney World Resort, the suburban developments and gated resort-style communities that make up Loughman attract both long-term residents and those looking for a summer home in sunny central Florida. “It’s close to Disney, so people can buy the property and rent it out to vacationers,” says Nick Flint, local realtor at Champion Homes Real Estate and nearby resident of 15 years. “Or move out here if they’re employed at Disney.” Secluded from busy urban centers and most large resorts, locals can enjoy proximity to all the major attractions without feeling packed with tourists.

Gated communities throughout Loughman feature large estate-style Mediterranean and Spanish Revival homes with orange barrel-tile roofs, beige stucco exteriors, and enclosed backyard pools.

Enjoying the Florida sun at Providence Golf Club
Local golfers can tee up at Providence Golf Club, with its 18-hole course featuring lush grassy rolling hills peppered with traps and water features.
