Resort theme parks, rolling fairways and commercial centers define the landscape of Florida Center North, a sprawling residential and resort community just outside of Orlando. Much of the community grew around world-famous resort parks like Universal and Disney World, starting in the late 1900s and continuing into the 2000s with the construction of the Mall at Millenia.
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.
Local parks and country clubs provide a variety of recreational activities for locals to enjoy. Prince Hall Park features a walking path leading by a sparkling freshwater lake, playgrounds and grassy fields perfect for throwing a ball around with friends. Eagle’s Nest Park is a vast green space where locals can spot herons, eagles or ospreys on a birdwatching outing, relax in picnic shelters or play a game of softball on one of the park’s ball fields. Golf enthusiasts can practice their backswing at Metro West Golf Club. This expansive 18-hole public golf course provides unique challenges to golfers of all experience levels. Just three miles down Vineland Road is Universal Studios Florida, the world-famous theme park with rides and attractions themed to media falling under the umbrella of the Hollywood Studio.
Locals are just a stone’s throw away from Orlando’s massive commercial centers and stores. Browse through the shops at The Mall at Millenia, a multi-level shopping mall offering familiar brand-name boutiques. There are also larger versions of big box stores such as Super Target, which provides a range of apparel, home goods, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and other household essentials.
Public school students are served by Orange County Public Schools, starting their academic journeys at primary schools such as Eagle’s Nest Elementary. The school has an overall C-rating on Niche and teaches from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Students move on to intermediate and secondary institutions like Carver Middle and Dr. Phillips High School. According to Niche, the former school has an overall C-rating and the latter has an overall A-minus rating. Dr. Phillips High School has a student-to-teacher ratio of 23:1 and offers students a head start on their careers through specialized courses in fields such as agriculture, engineering and cyber security.
