Central Florida ~ At a Glance
Central Florida, anchored by metro Orlando and elevated by vastly diverse characteristics, is among the nation’s most attractive areas for relocation. Within the region, metro Orlando lies at the core, situated roughly 150 miles from the Florida/Georgia border, to the north; 50 miles from the Atlantic coast, to the east; 75 miles from the Gulf coast, to the west; and 237 miles from Miami, to the south. Consisting of approximately 4,000 square miles, it is the state’s largest metro by land mass.
Four counties comprise metro Orlando — Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake — with three other counties (Polk, Volusia and Brevard) helping to form what is defined as Central Florida.
Orange County
Orange is the most populous of the counties, and led by the city of Orlando, it is also the region’s commercial focal point. The county consists of 900 square miles and eight cities, including a bustling big-city downtown Orlando. Orange County at a Glance »

Osceola County
Osceola County, comprising 1,400 square miles of land, sprawls to the southwest of Orange and Seminole counties and has historically been the most rural. These days, however, Osceola is being counted as among Florida’s fastest-growing areas. There are two cities, Kissimmee and St. Cloud. Osceola County at a Glance »

Lake County
Lake County features some 1,200 acres of rolling hills and, as the name suggests, bountiful lakes. Not coincidentally the county is enjoying robust population and industrial growth throughout its 14 towns and cities. The counties of Polk, Volusia and Brevard all offer noteworthy features and distinct lifestyles, making Central Florida not only a hot spot, but also a warm and inviting community.
