Orlando is one of the most popular places in Florida to call home. With its beautiful weather, booming economy, and endless entertainment options, it’s easy to see why so many people flock to Central Florida to set down roots. If you’re considering building a custom luxury home, Orlando has everything you could ever want.

Orlando’s Fabulous Climate

One of the biggest draws of Orlando is the absolutely gorgeous weather. Sunshine state? More like year-round sunshine state. Orlando averages 242 sunny days per year – perfect for soaking up the rays at one of the area’s many pools or beaches.

Even in the winter, temperatures rarely dip below 60 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. The winter nights can get quite cool, but nothing a light jacket can’t handle. Summers are hot and humid, but the afternoon thunderstorms help break up the heat.

With such mild weather nearly all year long, you’ll be able to truly utilize luxury outdoor living spaces and amenities. Enjoy dinner al fresco on your screened-in patio, lounge by the pool, or play a round of golf on one of Orlando’s premier courses. The weather invites an indoor/outdoor lifestyle that would be difficult farther north.

The Lifestyle Is Simply Magical

Beyond the weather, Orlando offers a lifestyle that is utterly unique. As the theme park capital of the world, there is always something new and exciting to experience with your family. Spend the day riding rollercoasters at Islands of Adventure, then enjoy a magical dinner surrounded by your favorite Disney characters.

The local entertainment extends far beyond the major theme parks. Orlando has a thriving arts and culture scene, world-class shopping and dining, museums, performing arts venues, comedy clubs, concert halls, lakes and natural areas to explore, and so much more. You’ll never run out of date night ideas or family adventures.

Additionally, Orlando offers a rapidly growing and diverse economy with major industries like aerospace, technology, sciences, medical care, and of course, tourism. There are ample high-paying job opportunities here for those who need to commute to work each day.

Orlando really does have it all when it comes to lifestyle. The perks of city living combined with quick access to outdoor natural areas, theme parks, and all types of entertainment mean you can truly customize your lifestyle.

Custom Homes That Match Orlando’s Unique Charm

When building your luxury custom home in Orlando, it’s important to work with a designer who understands the region and can incorporate charm that reflects Central Florida’s unique personality.

For example, using natural materials like stone and wood can help your home blend into the natural beauty that surrounds Orlando. This creates almost a “luxury cabin in the woods” aesthetic on the exterior.

On the interior, choosing fixtures, finishes, and furnishings with a nod to the arts and amusement park themes found throughout the region adds a whimsical and playful feel. This could translate to selecting brightly colored tiles for the kitchen backsplash, using different circus tent-style stripes on accent walls, or picking out amusement park memorabilia to display.

You’ll also want to focus heavily on creating indoor/outdoor flow so you can take advantage of the fabulous weather year-round. This means large sliding glass doors, screened-in pool cabanas or patios, outdoor kitchens, and second-story balconies.

No matter your personal style, a good designer can infuse it with local Orlando charm that perfectly reflects your new hometown. The homes designed and built by Hardwick General Contracting are known for seamlessly blending luxury living with local flair.
