- Where's a better place to live, East Orlando or West Orlando? What's actually considered East Orlando? Why don't you cover the east side more?! All these questions and more are some I hear often when out and about meeting some of you. I thought we'd cover the two areas at a higher level and give some context to East vs. West Orlando!
Thinking of buying or selling a home in Orlando? My team would love to help! Email me at info@pozekgroup.com to get started.

East side represent! Truly a great location. 20 minutes to downtown. 30 to theme parks. 10 to the airport and Brightline. Can’t beat it!
I agree, I think it is more about preferences. I live on East Orlando and I prefer this area because there is no tourist around. It actually feels like home, there tons of local owned restaurants, plenty of sports bars, tons of clothing stores, and 408 which makes it easy to commute in Orlando. Downtown only 15 mins away, Millenial Mall 20 mins, Orlando International Airport 20 mins. Very convenient overall.
Miss living out in Oviedo when I was going to UCF. Much more laid back than the west side where I reside now
The traffic on the east side is constantly awful! I lived on both sides and I would take west all day!
Have fun with pine hills lol that’s west Orlando so you can have it
@@Fromtheb77 yea you don't look like you would last on that side so I don't blame you lol
@@slappyman50 yeah…I’m guessing you live in pine hills
@@Fromtheb77 nope, just an observation.
I have to vote for East Orlando but then I've lived on the east side ever since I came here in '99. First over in the Conway area, then after 2004 we moved to the Lake Nona area (not Lake Nona itself). My youngest was part of the one of the first graduating classes at Lake Nona High school in 2012. We now live over off Wetherbee in a place we bought in 2014. It's growing fast over here. Traffic is increasing. But am away from the theme parks and if we really want to go it doesn't take very long to get there.
You should do a video on the differences between the north and south sides of Orlando.
Man you guys killed this video Ken. Incredible effects and information
Couldn't decide so I ended up north in Seminole County. 😁
You forgot to mention the schools. East side, seminole county schools are high ranked in the STATE. That’s a major advantage.
I would say OBT and I4 would be a boundary between west and east
I call OBT-441 the border for western side of "downtown" Orlando. Colonialtown 50 is the eastern metro down town border.
Hey Ken, would you do some research with your connection and put a video of what Tavistock is plant for Sunbridge? It would be nice to know if they are planing to have some live, work, play. Similar to lake Nona
Great suggestion! That’s in the works
I have lived both on east side Waterford Lakes and west side Clermont. Traffic is definitely worse in west.
One interesting fact, west side is growing such that it will have much more conveniences compared to east side.
For example, I have 6 Publix in under 10 minutes driving distance from me in Clermont plus I have Aldis, Walmart, Target, BJs, Key Foods, Winnie Dixie all within that 5 mile range. And a Costco coming up soon. I don't know how they all make money being so close to each other.
I lived in Grandview apartments loved it
We’ve lived all over Central Florida - Winter Park, Metrowest, Oviedo, Orlando, Davenport - settled in Clermont 15 years ago. Definitely NOT west Orlando. But Winter Garden is pretty cool.
When you say definitely not west Orlando, does that mean you’re not a fan of Clermont? I know Clermont isn’t Orlando, but it is to the West of Orlando so I’m just curious because I have my eye on Clermont
@donjuan914
We LOVE Clermont. Everyone that visits us - from other parts of FL or other states - say how beautiful it is here. It’s grown massively since we’ve moved here, but still amazing imho.
Winter Park is definitely east side!!
Agreed. Winter Park, Maitland, Altamonte Springs. They're all east.
Thanks for the video. The east side seems a little less chaotic in terms of traffic and new developments. Definitely going to consider those areas too
Glad it was helpful!
That’s funny, when I went to Disney Springs in November 2022, never saw the boss man. 😄😄
Thanks for the info Ken.
I lived in east side when attending UCF. Still love that side of town the best, feels like home. Go Knights!
Or, one could just split the difference and live in the middle - like the Hunter's Creek area. Easy access to the Atlantic beaches/Space Coast and easy access to the Theme Parks - and I love "not" being downtown. Even Tampa isn't too far with 417 to I-4. My biggest issue with my current abode is just the lot size - you have to pick - pool or yard - but you can't have both.
My part of town
I agree with this also the terrain is different Eastside is much flatter especially Southeast wirh shallower lakes with more marshy areas good place for airboats
Soon I'll be starting my new career on the west side. It's a little start-up I like to call "retirement." Ahhhh....
Haha! Sounds like a great time
You did not mention the Getto its west Orlando AKA Crime Hill
I lived in both areas. Alafaya seems to have traffic all the time. At least on the west side of town its not as bad even with the tourism.
Years ago (30+ years) there was a property for sale in Tildenville that my husband and I were interested in purchasing. I don't even know if it's still around, the Meadow Marsh Inn. I believe that's Winter Garden, but not sure.
Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties has been the tri county area. That's been what's considered metro Orlando for many years.
Statistically speaking, Lake county has also been added into Metro Orlando, not sure why Polk county is included, since it's its own metro area, but it's included into the Combined Statistical Area
East Orlando has become a toilet thanks to UCF and el Barrio Waterford lakes.
Awesome video peruse
Biggest difference is that the east side is filled with young college age kids while the west is were you see lots of families.
Hey Ken two questions. As a native Winter Garden resident I was interested a while back when you first mentioned the East Winter Garden redevelopment plan and a new boutique hotel that may be happening in downtown WG. I haven’t seen any news on the past year or more and i was wondering if you have any insight if those are still moving forward?
West side...........Pine Hills AKA Crime Hills. I was at a block party when Roger Babson came. He was an American entrepreneur, economist, and business theorist in the first half of the 20th century. We had orange groves as far as the eye could see and partied on Old Winter Garbage rd. I still remember seeing debri from Col Mike McCoys B 47 crash in a pasteur near Lee rd in 1957. Ben White Raceway. East side Bithlo..........Drag racing, with cars and motorcycles not the other thing no none of that in Bithlo. In 1973 the 1500 ft TV tower fell and killed two guys. Wont go near orlando now.................
Live in my Van ...I live anywhere !
Seminole County number 1
Nice!
What about non-traditional modern homes like shipping container homes or dome homes?
What is the market for that for new construction where does somebody go for that kind of situation?
CLERMONT is where it's at
Where is a good place for a teacher to live in Orlando?
The question everyone is asking. Who has better rappers east side or westside.?
Im from Detroit. Me and Eminem are 🤞🏼
do which side is the safest
West!!!!
Westsiiiiiiiiiiide
Turf war starts in the comment section
