Developed in the early 1980s by developer Debra, Inc. as a master-planned community, Metro West was structurally designed to be a balanced environment where residents could live, work, and play seamlessly. The community’s economic layout centers around corporate offices, high-density residential housing, and the large student population at the adjacent Valencia College West Campus. Its defining municipal attraction is the acclaimed MetroWest Golf Club, which features a landscape of rolling hills that is unique to the region. Located on the west side of Orlando, it sits 16 miles from Orlando International Airport (MCO) and 32 miles from Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). The neighborhood is positioned 65 miles west of Cocoa Beach, providing a direct route across the state via local expressways. Popular things to do and local recreational activities include playing golf on championship fairways, biking along neighborhood trails, attending outdoor food truck nights, and hiking through nearby lakefront paths.
