Meadow Woods is a large community in Orlando with multiple subdivisions, shopping districts, schools and industrial zones. The area is highly accessible, with recent construction attracting new residents. "In Meadow Woods, you can move into a new community for less than if you were closer to downtown. Plus, the area is very convenient to Highway 417, Beachline Expressway, and the airport," says Melissa Vance, a Realtor with Mainframe Real Estate, who has 15 years of experience. In the northern corner of Meadow Woods, past the home developments, is a notable presence of manufacturers and warehouses. The industrial area is close to Orlando's massive Amazon distribution center.
