Finding an Apartment in OrlandoOrlando, Florida is probably most famous for having Disneyworld but it's not all fun and play in this region. Finding an apartment is pretty easy as there are lots of units to choose from. We found plenty of 1 and 2 bedroom units in most areas, 3 bedrooms can be tougher to locate since not all complexes offer them. Highway 4 runs through Orlando and cuts it into east and west. Besides Orlando you can live in Pine Hills, Altamonte Springs, Lake Mary, Kissimmee, and Bay Hill. Apartment finder websites like Rent.com or Apartments.com are a great place to start your search and find complexes or buildings in the area you want to live in. We also suggest checking out Craigslist.org for further listings and even checking out specific apartment websites (like the ones listed below) for the most up to date availabilities and photos. One bedroom apartments average about $650/month so affordability is key in Orlando and the surrounding area. Get on the phone and call a few property or apartment managers before you waste the time to drive out and actually see the unit. Ask questions about the floor plans, are pets ok, # of bedrooms, bathrooms, closet sizes, is there a pool onsite, fitness center, spa, etc. The more details you find out the better decision you can make before ever having to even look at the apartment. Getting a 2 bedroom with a friend or renting out the 2nd bedroom will definitely save on your monthly rental fees.
The cost of living is moderate in the Orlando Metro area, and 1 BR apartments will normally set you back $650 or more per month. Below are listings for some Orlando Apartment Rentals.
