Florida (The Sunshine State) is the fastest growing and third most populous state in the United States for a reason. The sun just seems to shine brighter in Florida. Central Florida, stretching the length of the I-4 corridor, is internationally known for its shopping, entertainment, and tourist industries. Central Florida is also home to excellent university systems, such as the University of Central Florida, Bethune Cookman University, Valencia College, Seminole State College, and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Central Floridians have ease of access to the Atlantic Ocean beaches to the East and the gulf coast beaches to the West. With Brevard County located to the East, many Central Floridians are not surprised to look up and see rockets and space launches from Cape Canaveral. In addition, Central Florida boasts some of the top healthcare systems in the nation, science/technology industries, beautiful parks, trails, and year-round activities, which makes it attractive to professionals, families, and retirees, alike.
