#Saintcloud is located in #centralFlorida’s Osceola County between # Orlando and Kissimmee. It was founded as a retirement community for Civil war union veterans, and gained the nickname "The Friendly Soldier City".
Saint cloud has been designed to be different from the many locations nearby that serve the interests of big-city tourists. With a population of just 35,000, St. Cloud is less urban and chaotic than many of its neighbors, but perfectly positioned to offer guests easy access to many of the state’s most popular tourist attractions and all of the amazing amenities located just to the north in Orlando.
Saint Cloud is a family-oriented community and everything about the Lifestyle here revolves around the community’s small-town atmosphere. It is particularly well-known for the three large lakes nearby that offer a variety of outdoor recreation activities.
Combining that small town atmosphere and having such a rich history, with the area having such an easy access to everything else, makes St. Cloud a perfect mixture of old and new Florida living.
