South Orlando Florida Living

SOO Many Reasons to Live South of Orlando

A boom is happening in Central Florida. A lower cost of living, no state taxes, year-round sunshine, popular attractions, and ease of intrastate travel are drawing record numbers of new residents to the Sunshine State. With population numbers growing every 10 years, the areas that make up the Greater Orlando Metro Area are looking to create sustainable new neighborhoods that ensure a high quality of life for its current and future residents. 

With rising infrastructure needs, it’s only natural that growth would expand to the conveniently located communities in and around its core. Just South of Orlando (SOO) is St. Cloud in Osceola County, ranked as the ninth fastest-growing city in the United States and the third in the State of Florida. This thriving city is committed to preserving its small-town character while recognizing its unique positioning in the larger SOO corridor. Its master plan, Envision St. Cloud, sets out the city’s mission – “St. Cloud will be a strong and livable town that embraces its downtown and lakefront through growth that reinforces the positive town and country qualities of community character.” 

The city planners, with input from the community, go on to detail residential development aspirations that would sustain and further St. Cloud’s mission. So, what is that ideal residential environment? It’s a welcoming community thoughtfully planned and connected to its natural surroundings. It’s a comfortably familiar neighborhood with beautiful well-appointed residences where owners can commune and connect – with neighbors or nature. Welcome to Center Lake Ranch.

Set to open in Spring 2024, this master-planned community encompasses 2,000+ aces in a tucked away sanctuary in the heart of Osceola County’s growing St. Cloud and the Narcoossee Corridor.
