There are many luxurious cities around the world that attract millions of tourists who appreciate their beauty. Some places we can think of are France for its Eiffel Tower, Italy for its Leaning Tower of Pisa, and London for its Big Ben CLock. Another world renowned attraction is the theme parks of Orlando, Florida. In fact, the real estate of this luxurious capital of Florida has quite a bit of history, separate and apart from the theme parks, that spans not much more than 150 years. It may seem to be a short period of time in comparison to other cities in other countries, but a lot has happened during the period leading up to our modern times where there is now a lot of Orlando Luxury Real Estate up for grabs.

At one time the primary way of life of the inhabitatnts of Orlando involved cattle rearing. Indian wars, cattle rustling, gun fights, gambling and other evening pursuits were the order of the day. Later in 1880, the South Florida Railroad extended its line down into Orlando from Sanford and the rest of the nation, resulting in the rapid growth of Central Florida’s fledgling Citrus Industry which was now able to access Northern markets. The Citrus Industry made Orlando the hub of commerce and business and by the mid 1920’s had a bustling population of 10,000. The land boom that later followed dramatically changed Orlando’s look as for the first time tourism became a major player in Central Florida’s industry. Based on statistics from the year 2000, over 43.3 million people visit Orlando each year, staying in one of the 100,000 hotel rooms and visiting 7 major theme parks, making it the number one tourist destination in the world. This is in comparison to the current population of Orlando which is approximately 185,000 and that of the Metro-Orlando area being over 1,500,000.

A large part of the Orlando area economy is involved in the tourist industry, it being a major employer, with a net worth reaching billions of dollars annually. All 7 of this Central Florida area’s counties are a great environment to enjoy your leisure time and raise a family, offering a wide range of life styles for all ages including real estate in upscale gated neighborhoods, golf course communities, charming and old-fashioned towns, rural communities and areas with excellent schools. Downtown Orlando has a rich mixture of historic homes and luxurious condominiums with great views of the city, with 19 new and conversion condominiums being completed or announced over the past five years. If you like vintage homes, you can visit neighborhoods like Lake Eola Heights, Lake Cherokee, Thorton Park, Lake Lawsona, and Lake Copeland. Baldwin Park is also an attractive area with architecture reminiscent of the pre-1940’s era in Central Florida.

The downtown area of Orlando has a number of restaurants, retailers, discos, and bars, and is in close proximity to beautiful Lake Eola where you can enjoy festivals, outdoor concerts, or a gondola ride on the Lake.
