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
Greater OrlandoFlorida
An established planned community west of downtown Orlando, built around a golf course and a dense mix of condominiums, apartments and houses.
Location and access
West Orlando, between Kirkman Road and S Hiawassee Road, close to Universal and to the I-4 corridor.
Everyday life
Day to day, this is what you can expect: 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.
The area
Golf-course guest gates and office towers just off the tourist corridor.
Real life here
What an ordinary week looks like.
The week runs along a single internal parkway that loops the golf course: quick trips to condo or apartment amenities, a short drive to Universal for work or entertainment, and Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake for a slower weekend afternoon.
Routines that fit
- Working in or near the Universal and tourist-corridor job market.
- Preferring condominium or apartment living with shared amenities over a standalone house.
- Playing golf regularly on a course reached on foot or by short drive.
- Wanting quick highway access to both downtown and the theme parks.
Outdoors and leisure
- MetroWest Golf Club and the parkway that follows its perimeter.
- Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake, with a beach, trails and picnic pavilions.
- Community pools inside most of the condominium complexes.
- Turkey Lake itself, used for fishing from the park's shoreline.
Eating and shopping
Everyday eating out is chain-led along Kirkman Road and Conroy Road, with the far larger Universal CityWalk and International Drive dining scene only minutes away by car.
Supermarkets, pharmacies and clinics are along Kirkman and Conroy roads. Building-specific condo fees and reserve health matter as much here as location does.
Seasons
Tourist-corridor traffic on I-4 and Kirkman Road thickens in the peak travel months, which is felt directly by anyone commuting toward Universal or International Drive.

What you accept when you choose this area.
Trade-offs
- Older condominium buildings can carry reserve and assessment questions worth reading carefully.
