'The City Beautiful' is perhaps best known as the theme park capital of the world but as locals are quick to point out, there's a lot more to Orlando than its theme parks. For a city that's recently been ranked first by Forbes in "Top 10 Cities for Job Growth," it comes as no surprise that its major employers include Walt Disney Company, Comcast Corporation and Best Buy. It is also a top residential city and boasts a vibrant real estate scene.
Speaking of outdoors, if you love nothing more than to spend time in the great outdoors with the family or just have a wild side, O-Town can rival any city in the world for nature's most impressive wildlife. With outdoor temperatures rarely getting cold, there's no excuse not to enjoy outdoor activities. If a trip to SeaWorld doesn't satisfy your craving for huge aquatic creatures, hire a canoe and discover some local ones for yourself in the Everglades nearby. Wekiwa Springs is a well-kept local secret that offers a spectacular day out for the family. Here, you can enjoy picturesque Florida surroundings as you float down the river on a kayak; or cook up some food as the kids while away the day in Wekiwa's turquoise spring waters. The city has become a haven for artists and performers alike. If this is your thing, then pay a visit to O-Town's cultural corridor; an 8-mile stretch of galleries, museums and performance centers to compliment the more scholarly excursionists.
