A waterside lifestyle near Orlando

Only 4 miles from downtown Orlando, Conway maintains its own identity as a lakeside community with a rural feel. Known for its chain of clear water lakes joined by well-maintained canals, Conway residents enjoy being connected to the waterways, the greater Orlando area and each other. "On weekends you’ll see people in all the parks or out on the lake. Overall it’s a really picturesque place, and if you ever get bored you can just drive a few miles to Disney.”

Lots of local events to choose from in Orange County

The Orange County Library System serves Conway residents with a full calendar of events that includes technology and language courses, early learning resources and fiber arts classes in which participants can develop sewing, knitting and crocheting skills. One Sunday each month, the Conway community comes together at Barber Park to shop from local vendors and enjoy music and crafts. Each monthly market is seasonally themed and market proceeds benefit local charities and support community enrichment. "Community in Conway is fantastic," says Lewis. "There are all kinds of people, and all ages, and people are always coming together for local events. There's a real sense of friendly neighbors."

Commuting by LYNX or car

Most Conway residents travel by car, but the Central Florida LYNX bus system’s nearby stations offer accessible public transit. Conway’s main thoroughfare, Conway Road, bisects the community and connects to Highways 408 and 528. When the buzzy energy of Orlando calls, locals can drive 4 miles northwest to land right in the heart of downtown.
