About Central Florida Retirement Communities

Orlando is known as "The City Beautiful" because of its lush, green landscape and numerous lakes. Located in the center of Florida, it is a wonderful place to live, work, play, raise a family or retire. In 2000 Orlando’s population was 185,915. The population is projected to rise to 196,863 by 2005.

The Orlando International and Sanford Airports serve as the main transportation hubs for the region. The tourism industry is an economic mainstay with such attractions as Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios and other venues such as The Arabian Knights dinner show. With companies such as Lockheed Martin, the High Tech Industry is also being drawn to the Metro Orlando area along with international business, film and television, arts, culture and sports and health care.

The City of Orlando has 83 public parks, totaling 2,150 acres of developed open space, recreation areas, picnic areas, bikeways and playgrounds. There are also 8 Special Facilities, 2 Senior Centers and 18 Recreation Sites/Centers within its boundaries. It only takes one hour to arrive at Atlantic beaches and 2 hours to the Gulf of Mexico.
