CITY PROFILE
Orlando, FL
WHAT LIVING HERE IS LIKE
Orlando is a mid-size metro with a hot climate and abundant sunshine, though expect a wet climate as well—summer thunderstorms are frequent. Homes here are on the pricier side of our dataset, so factor that into your budget if you're considering the move. The combination of heat, humidity, and regular rain means you'll want air conditioning and a tolerance for afternoon storms, but you'll get plenty of clear, bright days year-round.
