Living in Orange County
Orange County takes its name from the fruit that constituted its main product. At its peak in the 1970’s, some 80,000 acres of citrus were planted in the area. But damaging freezes took its toll on the industry, and agriculture gave way to tourism, thanks to the great success of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. The county has also become a hotbed for industries specializing in advanced computer simulation and features a thriving life science research hub.
Orange County Real Estate Market
Orange County real estate caters to visitors from around the world. Many UK residents choose to spend their holidays in the area, particularly around Disney World. The warm weather also attracts snowbirds from northern states like Michigan, Ohio and New York every year. There are many beautiful single family homes available for purchase as a second home, but the county does not allow these homes to be rented out for the short-term.
Vacation home buyers typically choose properties near the theme parks because these Orange County areas feature condos and townhomes that are zoned for short-term rentals. There are several outstanding communities such as Floridays Orlando Resort and Blue Heron Beach Resort which offer condominiums for sale, and provide luxury living with resort-style amenities like water parks and restaurants on-site.
Windermere does have vacation homes, condos and townhomes for sale that are close to the attractions. But the city does not allow short-term rentals. Only certain areas of Orlando allow short-term rentals.
