Highways and airport get residents where they need to go
Highways 417 and 17 run along the neighborhood’s boundaries and lead to downtown Orlando, about 25 miles south. Public transportation is limited, but the LYNX bus line has some stops along Highway 17. For longer trips, the Orlando Sanford International Airport is about 5 miles east and offers flights nationwide. For Beth Nicholas, a Sanford resident since 1972, having easy access to the Sanford airport is a huge perk. “Orlando International Airport can be such a hassle. Orlando Sanford is much easier to get in and out of,” she says.
Dreamworld travelers have the convenient Orlando-Sanford Airport only 10 minutes away.
Commuters in Dreamworld can use 1792 and Toll Road 417.
