Is it less safe to live in an open condominium than a closed one in Orlando?

If you're looking for a better life in the United States, specifically in Orlando, you've probably come across different types of properties and condominiums. Let's talk a bit about Orlando's "open condominiums" - and whether or not they are a good choice for Brazilians looking for security and quality of life.

First, what are Open Condominiums?

It's no different from Brazil or other countries. Open condominiums (as opposed to "gated communities") are developments without entrance/exit gates or gates. Some are walled all around, but have free entry and exit.

Find out more on the Waterleigh page on our website. Another open condominium that is well worth a visit is Northlake at Ovation, also located in Winter Garden.

One of the main reasons why Brazilians choose open condominiums in Orlando is the security they offer. Despite the absence of walls, these developments generally have a security team, camera surveillance, etc.

Open condominiums often offer excellent living spaces, with parks, sports courts, swimming pools, clubhouses and in some cases even events (such as Food Trucks, Easter, etc.), creating a welcoming environment for those moving to a new country and thus helping them to adapt to a new country.

It's worth remembering that the vast majority of condominiums in the Orlando area are like this, open. Gated communities are rarer, not least because of the security that is already considered excellent, even in open condominiums. 

Many of these condominiums are located in privileged areas, close to shopping centers, good schools, hospitals and other essential amenities. This makes life more practical and makes everyday life easier for residents, who have quick access to everything they need.

Open condominiums usually have beautiful landscaping, with lakes, hiking trails and are generally very well maintained.

Is it a safe investment?

In addition to the benefits in terms of safety and well-being, investing in a property in an open condominium in Orlando can be an excellent financial decision. These developments are highly valued on the local market, making the purchase of a property a solid investment opportunity for the future and a quick turnaround in case the property needs to be sold.
