Why Investors Choose Conway
Conway is a residential neighborhood in south Orlando centered around the Conway Chain of Lakes — a series of interconnected freshwater lakes that give the area its identity and lifestyle appeal. Located south of Orlando International Airport and east of the Florida Turnpike, Conway offers something increasingly rare in the Orlando metro: affordable lakefront and lake-adjacent living with easy access to major employment corridors.
The neighborhood features a mix of 1960s–1990s single-family homes, many on generous lots with mature landscaping and lake views or lake access. For rental investors, Conway represents one of Orlando's best value plays — lower acquisition costs than comparable lakefront neighborhoods, strong tenant demand from airport workers, healthcare employees, and families priced out of trendier neighborhoods, and a community identity that's strengthening as Orlando's growth pushes south.

Why Conway Is a Smart Rental Investment
Affordable Lakefront Entry Point
Conway offers lake-adjacent and lakefront properties at price points significantly below Dr. Phillips, Windermere, or Lake Nona. For investors, this means better cash-on-cash returns from day one.
Airport Employment Corridor
Orlando International Airport (MCO) — one of the busiest airports in the United States — is minutes away. MCO employs thousands directly and supports tens of thousands of jobs in the surrounding hospitality, logistics, and service corridors.
Growing South Orlando Infrastructure
South Orlando is experiencing significant infrastructure investment. New retail, medical facilities, and road improvements are increasing Conway's accessibility and appeal to quality tenants.
Family-Friendly with Room to Grow
Conway's larger lot sizes, established neighborhoods, and lake recreation appeal to families who want space and outdoor access without suburban sprawl pricing. Family tenants sign longer leases and maintain properties well.
Life in Conway
Conway's lifestyle centers on the water. The Conway Chain of Lakes offers fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and lakefront relaxation. The neighborhood has a growing restaurant and retail scene along Conway Road, and proximity to the Orlando Outlets, Lake Nona, and downtown Orlando provides easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Schools & Education
Conway is served by Orange County Public Schools. Nearby schools include Conway Middle School, Oak Ridge High School, and several elementary options. The area's proximity to Valencia College's Osceola campus provides additional educational opportunities.
