Just past the recreation of the iconic Quattro Cavalli statue fountain at its entrance is a community that offers homes at a wide range of price points and sizes, bustling shopping centers, and quick access to Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios. This proximity makes it home base for many park employees, plus those looking for easy access to the best Orlando offers.

Shopping and dining conveniently located inside the community
"You're right on the cusp of Downtown Orlando, which is way more expensive than MetroWest, so you get more bang for your buck," says David Dorman, a broker and Realtor with Century 21 Professional Group and Central Florida resident. This “bang for your buck” includes living less than 10 miles from Steinmetz Hall and Walt Disney Theatre, hugely popular spots for live music and events, and The Mall at Millenia, which draws shoppers from near and far to its upscale stores and restaurants. Dorman also says a perk of living so close to the Magic Kingdom is, as an annual pass holder, the ability to treat the park like a fun evening out instead of a day-long event. “You go for dinner, watch the fireworks, and you’re home by 10 p.m. It doesn’t have to be an all-day thing.”
Within MetroWest are two shopping centers where residents pick up groceries at Publix and essentials at Walmart. Both shopping centers include specialty stores and services like salons, dry cleaners, and popular local restaurants. Among them are Stonington’s Fried Shrimp, a local chain specializing in fried seafood; Silva’s Market, a modest spot serving authentic Brazilian dishes; and À Brasileira, another authentic Brazilian restaurant offering a full bar and live music.
