Orlando Is a Playground for Couples, Families and Students

Orlando is the most-visited city in the nation. It’s the home of Walt Disney World®, Universal Orlando Resort®, SeaWorld Orlando®, and Legoland®. Orlando is much more than a tourist destination for theme parks. It is exploding with art and culture. The Dr. Phillips Center hosts ballet, opera, comedy, musicals, jazz and theater. There is dining ranging from James Beard Award-winning chefs preparing meals for a sophisticated palate to the food truck scene with adventurous culinary delights. Orlando is home to the Orlando Magic, Orlando City Soccer Club, and hosts many national and international sporting competitions. The Orlando Museum of Art tops the list of museums in the area, but there are photography, folk art and sculpture exhibitions throughout the region.

These are just a few of the reasons that Forbes and U.S. News & World Report have ranked it among the top cities to live.

The Orlando metro area has upwards of 2 million residents. Orlando residents are also a who’s who of cultural diversity, as it is home to residents from countries across the world. Among the varied communities, you’ll find everything from devoutly religious to casually spiritual. Also, Orlando is one of the fastest growing Spanish-speaking cities in America. There’s also celebration and support of the LGBTQ community, with plenty of events, like Gay Days at Disney World.

The average overall cost of living in Orlando and Central Florida falls slightly below the national average. There is no state income tax in Florida. For more data about living in Orlando, such as current details on housing costs and school rankings, go to Sperling’s BestPlaces .
