One of the best parts of visiting Orlando other than the resorts is our abundance of wonderful shopping Malls here in Central Florida.

Every once in a while some of us at The Orlando Avenue Top Team get together outside the office and go shopping. We love to shop and we live in the right place for that indulgence – Orlando has world class shopping.

Most beautful of all, perhaps, is the classy Mall at Millenia. This is a shopping district unto itself, located off I-4 at Conroy Road, Exit 78. The Mall at Millenia opened amidst much hoopla, just a few years ago, October, 2002. The Mall is anchored by Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s, the only Central Florida location for these two stores, and also by Macy’s. There are international designer stores and jewelry stores in the Mall and excellent restaurants as well as shopping favorites.

Westcott Lakes Continuing Care Community near Florida State University and once called Oak Hammock at the University of Florida

I remember reading some time ago that a trend among people of retirement age and better is to choose to live near a university. There, an older person may audit classes, perhaps even go for a degree, attend sporting events and become a fan of the local team, and, in general, enjoy the special energy of living near people of university age.

Along these lines, an article appeared in a recent issue of the Orlando Sentinel saying that a company named Praxeis is looking for a 30 to 50 acre site within a 15 mile radius of The University of Central Florida.

The intent is to build a 350-unit continuing-care community near the main campus in the eastern part of Orlando. This company has already built a community called Westcott Lakes near Florida State University and another one called Oak Hammock at the University of Florida. At Oak Hammock, homes range from studio apartment-size to over 2,500 square feet.

I and the rest of The Orlando Avenue Top Team encourage lifetime learning. We are lifetime learners, continually increasing our knowledge of real estate, both theoretical and applied.

Celebrations galore at the happiest place on earth Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida

Both the Disneyland Resort in California and the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista are planning a special salute to honor our men and women in uniform. At the Magic Kingdom, hundreds of cast members will join together to create an enormous patriotic banner on Main Street. Thousands of guests will wave flags. A 250-foot red, white and blue patriotic banner will be unfurled and later there will be fireworks near Cinderella’s Castle.

MetroWest in Orange County Orlando Florida may get a name change which could affect 12,000 residents.

The Orlando Avenue Top Team knew that Waterford Lakes, a community in east Orange County, was once called Huckelberry Fields (although we do not know whether or not there was fruit of the same name there) but we never knew that Orlando was once called Jernigan! Or that Orange Country was once Mosquito County!

Now it seems that MetroWest, the huge 1,800 acre planned community in Orange County, may be renamed Veranda Park. MetroWest is located off Hiawassee Road near Route 50 – also known as Colonial Drive. MetroWest has been known by its own name for 20 years. If the name is changed and if, for instance, MetroWest Blvd. becomes Veranda Park Blvd., many of the community’s 12,000 residents may be affected.

As the team leader of The Orlando Avenue Top Team, I am planning to feature builders and communities in this blog, as well as give you real estate updates.

The schools serving Avalon Park are part of the Orange County Public School system. At this time there is Avalon Elementary School, Corner Lake Middle School and Timber Creek High School, the latter in Avalon Park. The Orlando Avenue Top Team will be pleased to lead you to more information on the schools.

Avalon Park features homes by builders such as Ryland and KB Homes on 3400 homesites! There is a community pool in every village.
