I was wondering if you guys could recommend any apartments within 15 minutes of downtown that are nice? I am looking for something around $800-900/month or less. I found a complex called Solis at Winter Park that seems half decent. Does anyone know anything about it or the area?

Thanks!

I would avoid Solis which is basically a student complex for those attending Full Sail or UCF and the area in general has a fairly high crime rate (Goldenrod). I think you would be better off looking for apartments just north, east or south of downtown that are in better neighborhoods and similarly priced. Craigslist can be a good source and usually blatantly obvious with the few random "fake ads".

Here are a few options within and near Downtown Orlando:

Camden - Camden Orange Court
Uptown Place - Uptown Place Apartments Orlando Florida
Skyhouse - Skyhouse® Orlando | Luxury Apartments in Orlando FL Skyhouse® Orlando | Home
55W - Apartments in Orlando, FL | Downtown Orlando Apartments | 55 West
Baldwin Park - Baldwin Park | Apartments | Orlando, FL (Outside of downtown)
CityView - City View at Hughes Square in Orlando, FL - Orlando, Florida Apartment Rentals (Just a note: Neighborhood is going through gentrification)

In addition to the above, there are also a lot of realtors and individual condo owners that rent out condos in the area.

Best of luck!

Those are in a really bad part of town.

These places are really nice, but they are going to cost a lot more than the OP wanted to spend. I would also recommend looking at craigslist, Hotpads, and Zillow to see if there are any private apartments/condos available, possibly in areas like Colonialtown or the milk district (32803, between Colonial and the 408), or near SODO (south of downtown) areas like Conway, Bumby, or Curry Ford roads (32806 and 32812). My sister lives at the Metro at Michigan Park condos (she pays $850 for a pretty nice and spacious 2 bedroom), and I see on Hotpads they have some available for $700 - $900. This is not the fanciest area of Orlando, but it is fairly safe and central.

The rents in Orlando have skyrocketed over the past 1 - 2 years, especially anywhere even remotely desirable, so it has become very difficult to find anything under $1000 a month. I think the problem is that anyone who was renting anything affordable is staying put, as they cannot afford to pay more to move into anything equitable, so the supply is very limited in your price range. Good luck....
