Identity
MetroWest was master-planned decades ago and has since filled in. The result is unusual for Orlando: a high proportion of attached housing and condominiums inside a single street network, with the golf course as its organising feature.
Orange County
MetroWest

An established planned community west of downtown Orlando, built around a golf course and a dense mix of condominiums, apartments and houses.
Talk to DaniLocation and access
West Orlando, between Kirkman Road and S Hiawassee Road, close to Universal and to the I-4 corridor.
Everyday life
Everyday errands happen along the internal parkway; the tourist corridor and downtown are both short drives on well-known routes.
- MetroWest Golf Club and the parkway that follows it.
- Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake, nearby.
- Universal Orlando and the tourist corridor to the south.
Housing
- A large stock of condominiums and apartments from several eras.
- Single-family homes in gated and non-gated pockets.
- Condo association health matters here more than in house-only areas.
New construction
There is little vacant land left; new product arrives mostly as renovation or redevelopment of existing buildings.
Getting around
Car-based, with quick access to I-4, SR-408 and the Turnpike through Kirkman and Conroy roads.

What you accept when you choose this area.
Trade-offs
