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," says Jess Lewis, a local business owner and longtime resident of Conway. "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.

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.
