Southport Homes for Rent

Southport — also known as The Villages of Southport — is a vibrant planned community of 658 homes steeped in military history. The community is set on the site of the former Orlando Naval Training Center and is bordered by the U.S. Army National Guard to the east. The Orlando International Airport provides residents with easy commuting options, though they may experience some air traffic noise. Strategically located about 9 miles from downtown Orlando, Southport offers proximity to the city’s main attractions, including Disney World, the Orlando Watersports Complex, and Lake Nona, making it a suburb central to the action. Southport is divided into five themed villages: Malibu, Portsmouth, Schooner, Island, and Bermuda. “The only difference between these communities is that they each have their own directors,” says Southport’s property manager Maria Sanchez. “Buying a property here means Spectrum TV and access to shared amenities like the two community pools and playground.” The area features three- and four-bedroom ranch-style homes from the 1960s, set on well-manicured, unfenced front yards adorned with Spanish moss and oak trees. These homes often boast vibrant pastel exteriors
