I arrived in Orlando almost 15 years ago with two suitcases, butterflies in my stomach, and a dream: to help Brazilians find a magical corner of Florida. Since then, I've tested neighborhoods, analyzed numbers, and with each visit, Solivita stole my attention—and the hearts of many customers. Today I'm sharing with you what makes this 55+ community shine brighter than the fireworks at Magic Kingdom.
Do you want to know if it's really worth investing outside of Brazil? Want to find out where to live without relying on a work visa, even with the dollar fluctuating? Then follow me. I'll show you, with fresh data and real-world experience, how Solivita combines leisure, convenience, and financial returns in a single zip code.
Why Solivita Shines Among Disney Neighbors
When I step through the gates of Solivita, I feel that resort vibe we love on vacation—only every day. Charming single-story homes, impeccable gardens, and neighbors who greet you with "good morning" in true Brazilian style. It's no coincidence that, according to the March 2025 MLS, 72% of the available units were offered in less than 15 days.
Furthermore, the average price for high ceilings and high-end finishes was US$1,100 per square meter, nearly US$1,000 lower than Lake Nona. What does this mean? You're enjoying premium standards while paying less than in the tourist-favorite neighborhoods. Can you resist?
Leisure infrastructure that delights all ages
Okay, Solivita is officially 55+, but who said those "over fifty" don't enjoy adrenaline? There are 14 pools, two golf courses, nine pickleball courts, and a clubhouse that looks like a five-star hotel. I've even taken a Zumba class at 8 a.m. and, by 10 a.m., was at water aerobics, laughing with old ladies from Rio.
And when family visits—grandchildren, nephews, college kids—everyone finds fun. I once took my 12-year-old nephew to the Cypress Center aquatic center; he left saying, "It was better than Blizzard Beach." Seriously! Who knew peace and quiet would have so much adrenaline in it?
Strategic location to explore Disney
Want to enjoy Disney without the tourist chaos? From Solivita to the Magic Kingdom parking lot, it's a 30-minute drive along Poinciana Parkway. I keep a stopwatch because Brazilian customers love precise numbers. And if you're craving brunch in Winter Garden or shopping at The Loop, everything is within a 40-minute radius.
Think about it: less gas, less time stuck on I-4, and more hours burning energy where it matters—in the parks, at the outlet malls, on the shores of Lake Tohopekaliga. A provocative question: how many times have you given up on an outing because you lived too far from the hot spots? Well, that doesn't happen here.
Comparison of Solivita vs. other neighboring communities
Many people compare Solivita to The Villages and Latitude Margaritaville. I've done my homework too. The Villages is huge, yes—but its prices have already gone up 15% in a year, and the crowds are reminiscent of downtown Rio on Christmas Eve. Latitude has a beach vibe, but is 90 minutes from Disney. Solivita, on the other hand, offers a balanced experience: moderate costs, robust infrastructure, and proximity to Orlando.
Another plus: HOA fees in Solivita are around $450/month, including exterior maintenance, basic internet, and cable. In other 55+ communities, the same package easily exceeds $600. Your wallet will thank you, won't you?
Investment and quality of life within Solivita
You might be thinking, "What if the market crashes?" Take a deep breath: homes in Solivita appreciated 6.21 TP3T in 2024, according to CoreLogic, compared to the state average of 3.81 TP3T. Even with these adjustments, planned communities focused on active seniors tend to hold their price better than the rest of the market—simple supply and demand.
"But I don't have a visa!" Calm down. To buy a property, you just need a passport, good tax planning, and, of course, advice from someone who understands. I'll help you navigate financing options that accept foreigners with a down payment of 25% and interest rates close to 7.5% per year. And what about the strong dollar? Remember that assets in hard currency are your shield against the volatility of the real. Why leave your future hostage to Brasília when you can dollarize now?
Solivita isn't just a community; it's an invitation to live your happily ever after just minutes from Disney, with the security of a solid investment. If you're looking for leisure, proximity to Orlando, and financial returns, this is the place for you. Let's turn your dream into a destination!
