As the popularity of Orlando’s downtown bungalow neighborhoods rises, so too do the rents. In an effort to keep our Creative Class of Orlandoans living within the City limits, we’ve launched an ongoing series of posts that gather up rental properties under $1,500 a month.

We do not endorse any of the listed properties. This is simply a roundup of what is currently available in Orlando at the moment – a snapshot if you will.

Do you have a property in our coverage area that you’d like people to know about? Send us an email at [email protected] and ask us about our House of the Day listings.
