Talk to an AgentValencia College is one of Florida's largest community and state college systems, with campuses throughout Orange and Osceola counties. The West Campus near the Millenia Mall area and Dr. Phillips corridor serves students in southwest Orlando. The East Campus along University Boulevard connects to the UCF corridor. The Downtown Campus near the heart of Orlando serves working students and professionals. Each campus creates its own residential demand pattern — from affordable rentals for full-time students to homeownership for faculty, staff, and the professionals who often return to Valencia for workforce training and continuing education.
