Orlando Overview

Orlando is known for its world-famous theme parks, but there’s much more to this city in central Florida. From museums and art galleries to outdoor recreation, Orlando has a lot to offer its residents. The city also has several employers in addition to the big theme parks, especially in the health, education, and travel industries. A mix of tourist attractions, shops, restaurants, arts and culture, and outdoor activities make finding your next apartment or rental home Orlando a great place to call home. With no shortage of things to do, access to a major international airport, good schools, many employers, and lots of sunny weather, there are tons of reasons to move here!

What is the history of Orlando?

Orlando got its start in 1838 as a fort built during the Seminole Wars. The Jernigan family and other settlers formed a small community there, known as Jernigan. In 1856, the community changed the name to Orlando. No one is exactly sure where the name came from, but a few origin theories are floating around, including a Shakespeare character and a military sentinel named Orlando Reeves. No matter what the true origin is, the city has grown from a small community to a population of more than 316,000 residents. People continue moving here thanks to Orlando’s many positive qualities.   

How is the weather in Orlando?

Expect plenty of sunshine in one of the Sunshine State’s biggest cities. Orlando gets around 233 days of sun per year. The city does have some rainy weather, especially when fast-moving thunderstorms move through on summer afternoons. As for temperatures, Orlando usually has highs in the 90s on summer days, with lows in the 70s. During winter, daytime temps are typically in the 70s, while nighttime temps are often in the 50s. Spring and fall tend to offer a good mix of warm day and night temps without summer’s high humidity levels. This gives you plenty of days to get out there and enjoy the city’s many attractions and amenities.

How do I get around town?

When you’re looking into homes for rent in Orlando, it only makes sense to figure out how you’ll get around first. If you have a car, you can drive around easily enough. I-4 is a major road in the city, so expect traffic, especially during rush hour. There’s also 408 East-West Expressway, the 429, 417 Central Florida Greenway, and 528 Beachline Expressway. If you don’t have a car, Orlando has multiple public transportation options. There’s LYNX bus service, SunRail’s commuter rail service, and the LYMMO free bus rapid transit system. Orlando also has bike share and scooter programs.

What is the Orlando commute like?

" Commuting in Orlando, FL, often involves navigating heavy traffic on highways like I-4, experiencing occasional delays due to ongoing construction projects, and contending with weather-related disruptions. Public transportation options, including buses and SunRail, are available but may not be as comprehensive as in larger cities. Car dependence is common, and tourist traffic around popular attractions contributes to congestion. Stay informed about current road conditions for a smoother commute."

You’re also an hour or two away from the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other side. The Everglades are just a few hours away for even more adventures.

What Orlando landmarks should I see?

Head to Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando to see the Linton E. Allen Memorial Fountain, built in 1957, and enjoy a picnic. Orange County Regional History Center isn’t far from the park. Set in a historic courthouse, it offers a lot of information on the history of Central Florida. Orlando City Hall features indoor art galleries to explore, along with outdoor sculptures. For an iconic landmark, there’s Cinderella’s Castle at Disney World.

Leu Gardens for beautiful botanical gardens, or the Orlando Museum of Art to admire art exhibitions. For outdoor adventures, take an airboat ride, go ziplining, play golf, glide on Lake Eola in a swan-shaped paddle boat, or explore Tibet-Butler Nature Preserve.

Where is the best place to move in Orlando?

How should you narrow down your search for Orlando homes for rent? That depends on what you want to live near and the kind of vibe you want in your neighborhood. College Park is a busy place near downtown that’s filled with parks and events throughout the year.
