Sure, the weather’s great and we’ve got plenty of activities for princesses and wizards, but economic development officials and professionals often speak highly of Central Florida’s schools.
And now, a new ZipRealty report puts the Orlando area at No. 5 in the U.S. among the top 10 “booming” real estate markets with the best public schools.
Top schools are typically a key factor that skilled workers look for in relocating to a particular market, and can be used as a recruitment tool by companies.
The metro areas were named to the list based on growth in median home prices as of mid-August 2013, while the schools were ranked based on top School Score − ZipRealty’s measure of the performance of each school district on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.
Metro Orlando notched a 26 percent jump in year-over-year median home values at $144,900, and Seminole County Public Schools notched a score of 7.8, the highest in the metro area.
