Active Adult Living in Orlando Florida

Orlando, Florida in the last 36 years went from being a regional town to one of Florida's largest cities. It is not only a booming city and immensely popular vacation destination, but also a mecca for Florida retirement communities. Walt Disney got it all started when his company purchased vast tracts of land in this former farming area and announced plans to construct Disney World in 1965. Epcot followed and now Orlando is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The area is also home to countless Central Florida retirement communities.

The suburbs and area around Orlando are home to many Florida retirement communities, since Orlando is somewhat urban. There are historic neighborhoods such as Lake Apopka near Groveland, FL.
Although many active adults retire in Celebration, it is not age restricted and families of all ages live in the community. The median selling price of a home in Orlando is way down vs. the giddy heights of 2006. The median selling price was $140,200 in the 2nd quarter of 2010, according to the National Association of Realtors (down from the year previous).
