Orlando Named the No. 1 Place to Retire in the U.S.

Why City Center West Orange in Ocoee is the Retirement Destination You’ve Been Waiting For

Have you heard the buzz? Orlando—just a stone’s throw away from City Center West Orange—has been named the #1 city in the U.S. to retire, thanks to its unbeatable combination of tax-friendly status, sunshine-filled weather, and outstanding senior healthcare. (Travel + Leisure)
In light of that, the vibrant lifestyle anticipated at City Center West Orange is perfectly positioned to satisfy the retiree market—and then some. Here’s why:

1. Tax-Smart Retirement Living

3. Weather That Invites an Active Lifestyle

Think year-round warm weather, bright smiles, and plenty of outside time. The same study calls out Orlando’s climate as a big plus for retirees planning to “walk, run, explore” rather than simply settle. (Travel + Leisure)
Our 5K linear park and surrounding trail system (right inside your neighborhood) means you’ll be steps away from nature, fresh air, and healthy daily rhythms.
