Landscaped bungalows and updated condominiums close to local amenities
Golf communities and sprawling suburban tracts make up the residential landscape of the neighborhood. Various condominiums and townhouses are available in and around Metro West Golf Club, with spacious floor plans and scenic views of Metro West’s rolling fairways and serene forests. The neighborhood’s single-family houses feature similar natural scenery while sporting more distinctive architectural styles. Contemporary ranch-style houses have amenities such as large windows and covered carports. Two-story Craftsman-style houses feature asymmetrical facades with covered front porches looking out onto landscaped lawns. More affordable condos and townhouses are also available, with community amenities such as guaranteed parking and fitness centers. Most homes are less than 5 miles from the I-4 Express, which puts Downtown Orlando and Universal Studios less than 10 miles going north or south down I-4, respectively. Home prices in Florida Center North vary depending on home style, though as Florida in Motion Real Estate Agent Kim Hawk says, "compared to other places in the United States, this area and others in Orlando has a relatively low cost of living." Condominium prices range from $100,000 for apartment-style condos to $350,000 for luxury condos with more square footage. Regarding single-family houses and townhouses, a townhouse or ranch-style house needing some T.L.C. will cost around $229,000, ranging up to $$600,000 for updated contemporary houses.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
