Access to downtown, international food scene from West Colonial
West Colonial centers around its namesake and one of Orlando's main thoroughfares: West Colonial Drive. Car dealerships and warehouses dominate much of the real estate along the road, while homes are tucked farther back, away from the noise of passing cars. Living in West Colonial comes with a few distinct advantages: quick access to Interstate 4 and the Central Business District and a nearby selection of restaurants, bakeries and markets with an international array of cuisine, from Chinese to Jamaican.
West Colonial's homes are usually away from the busy West Colonial Drive.
Downtown Orlando is located just minutes from West Colonial.

Asian groceries, Caribbean bread and other flavors
West Colonial Drive is home to businesses specializing in Asian, Caribbean and Latin American cuisine. A prime example is Lotte Plaza Market. The Asian American supermarket chain carries items you’re unlikely to find elsewhere, from donut peaches to bulgogi-marinated ribeye. "You walk in, and there are street food vendors," says Rochelle Warriner, a Realtor with United Real Estate Preferred. "It’s like a Sam’s Club for international cuisine."
Examples of other food available on West Colonial Drive include:
Caribbean Sunshine Bakery, a Jamaican eatery with fresh-baked bread
El Fogón de Bebo, a Puerto Rican food truck
Walala Hand-Pulled Noodles, a Chinese restaurant serving house-made noodles

Markets and music at the Central Florida Fairgrounds
Events come to the Central Florida Fairgrounds in the neighborhood just about every week. "You have gun shows, figurine shows, Star Trek shows," Warriner says. The Orlando Outdoor Market sets up every weekend, creating a flea market with more than 300 vendors. The marquee event is the Central Florida Fair, an annual tradition for more than 100 years. The fair spans 10 days of carnival rides, live music and livestock auctions. The adjacent Orlando Amphitheater hosts concerts and music festivals.
Downtown Orlando, home to the Orlando Public Library, is 4 miles away.

The 4-mile drive to the Central Business District can take eight to 25 minutes.
The 15-mile drive to Orlando International Airport can take 20 to 45 minutes.
