For people all around the globe, the mention of Orlando often elicits visions of a famed mouse and his friends, or even a new market entrant – a wizard with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead – at another theme park just down the road. And while most Orlandoans know that the city goes well beyond the attractions that seemingly define the area, they also know that there are some benefits to living near the “Mouse House” and other area theme parks.
Throughout Central Florida, one would be hard-pressed to find a local who doesn’t have some sort of tie to the theme parks. Maybe they attended camp at Sea World in their youth or worked as a food and beverage attendant at Universal’s Islands of Adventure in between semesters at college. They may even be annual passholders at Walt Disney World who book and use FastPasses during non-peak times, or have an investment property turned vacation home. Just about everyone who has lived in the greater Orlando area for some stint of time has a connection to the attractions.
One of the highest-ranking home selling points for those who enjoy the nightly fireworks displays at the theme parks is the ability to see them from their own yard – or for those who are extra lucky, windows – on a daily basis. Fortunately, Opendoor has several homes currently available in the Orlando area that are well within prime fireworks-viewing proximity.
Dr. Phillips
For example, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom single-family home in the Dr. Phillips community is located in between all three major theme parks, plus many additional attractions such as The Wheel at ICON Park™, Fun Spot, and Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.
