Why you'd want to live in Orlando

Orlando is a multi-layered hodge-podge of natural wonders, cultural curiosities, endless entertainment and in certain areas even quiet retreats from the bustle. When most of us hear Orlando, we picture the place you go to snap a thousand pictures of kids and grandkids smiling bigger than the furry chipmunk and duck-billed costumes covering young college students for the summer. The name alone conjures visions of places like Universal, a litany of “worlds” only found in and around the Magic Kingdom, and images of pool and spa-laden resorts teeming with kids and families. Instantly, one is at risk of becoming either overly excited or completely exhausted; both reactions likely eliciting the fear of going broke in one fell swoop. While Orlando is, indeed, known for all of this, it is not defined by it. Disney World (15 miles from downtown) is but an element of this increasingly tech-centered and progressive city. With an economy long-supported by Disney mega-revenue, a booming tech industry is now ushering in a different spin, attracting people and businesses worldwide at the forefront of innovation. via ideal-living.com
