Year Founded
1987
The community of Meadow Woods traces its roots back to the late 1980s when residential developers began master-planning a massive suburban enclave to accommodate families flooding into southern Orange County. Strategically positioned along the Osceola County border, this diverse residential neighborhood experienced rapid housing development due to its seamless access to major regional highway networks and transit options. Today, the absolute top municipal asset is the Meadow Woods Park and Recreation Center, a expansive public green space that serves as the focal point for local athletic leagues and family gatherings. The neighborhood functions as a crucial residential suburb for professionals working in the nearby aviation, tourism, and medical sectors. Popular activities within the community include playing tournament soccer, jogging along paved neighborhood fitness paths, bird watching near local retention preserves, and riding the regional SunRail commuter train. Geographically, Meadow Woods is located roughly 11 miles south of Orlando International Airport (MCO). It is situated approximately 35 miles south of Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). Driving west to reach the shopping and dining avenues of Disney Springs is a straightforward 14-mile commute via State Road 417. Beachgoers looking for oceanfront waves can travel approximately 53 miles east via the Beachline Expressway to spend the day at Cocoa Beach.
