We’ve mentioned before that Central Florida is a key destination when people think of retirement. The mix between the laid back lifestyle, endless opportunities for golfing and shopping (depending on which might be your pick!) and the year-round Florida sunshine might be a big part of why people want to retire in Central Florida. However, another factor that you many have yet to realize has to do with college towns. While some might not see the connection between the two, we’ve got the inside scoop for you.

This month we decided to take our traditional Central Florida Neighborhood feature and put a spin on it. While you will still learn all about Winter Park, a popular neighborhood in Central Florida, you’ll also discover the five reasons why you just may want to call it home.

Why might you want to call Winter Park home? Maybe because... 

It's home to the well known Winter Park Farmers’ Market.

Every Saturday from 7 p.m. to 1 p.m. you can visit the old restored train depot that hosts the produce and plant market. Besides being able to purchase your weekly produce from the local vendors (of local products) you can find booth after booth of baked goods, handmade goods, fresh flowers and more. This weekly event is pet, kid and family friendly making it fun for all ages.

One of the best parts of being a Realtor® is helping people achieve the American dream of homeownership, so when a new community pops up in the area that I know people are sure to love, it makes helping others reach that dream even more of a reality. 

Waterview is a traditional community located between Kissimmee and Poinciana and offers multiple amenities within its 283-acre property. True to its name, you can pick a home with views of the surrounding water or choose a home with a preserve view, the two choices offer the best of both worlds when it comes to Central Florida’s natural beauty.
