Moving To Orlando: It’s Not Just For Vacations Anymore

As one of the fastest growing areas in the country, Orlando is more than just theme parks and conventions. This central Florida paradise boasts a number of amenities that make it attractive to people of all ages and interests. Whether you are a young and single person looking to jumpstart your career in a vibrant city or a family looking for a friendly place to lay down your roots, Orlando offers something for everyone. Here are four of the top reasons to consider moving to Orlando:

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER: With over 95 percent of the days boasting sunshine, Orlando is a great place to live if you love bright and sunny weather. Moderate temperatures all year long make this a nice place to live even in the winter months. Although it rains often during the summer, the precipitation is usually short-lived and moves out quickly, giving way to sunny skies again.

THRIVING JOB MARKET: The rapidly growing tourism market generates a massive amount of jobs for the area. If the service industry is not your interest, there are a number of companies located in the downtown area. An emerging technology market and a low cost of living make Orlando an attractive place for start-ups and other professional businesses looking to expand their reach.

ECLECTIC DINING OPTIONS: Because of its position as a leading vacation destination, Orlando boasts a diverse dining scene. Residents will be able to satisfy any craving with the eclectic ethnic dining opportunities. The booming convention business has given rise to a number of high-end dining establishments designed to appeal to even the most discerning foodie. A host of family-friendly restaurants make Orlando an easy place to take kids out to eat at any time.

UNLIMITED ENTERTAINMENT: In addition to the myriad of theme parks from Disney World to Universal Studios to Legoland to Sea World, Orlando boasts a variety of cultural opportunities. The popular Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts hosts a bevy of events in its three theaters and outdoor performance area. Florida residents also enjoy substantial discounts at theme parks, making Orlando an affordable place to have fun for locals.

Getting Your Bags Packed? Now that you are sold on moving to this tropical paradise, you need to hire a local mover well-equipped to make your move to the area as smooth as possible. While there are many options for local moving companies, I’d recommend checking out a company like Suddath. They have a local office in the area but are also nationwide. This makes for an easy transition from wherever it is your coming from.

Orlando is calling! Don’t suffer from city envy any longer. Pack your swimsuit, sunscreen and sunglasses and be ready to experience a place unlike any other.
