Lindfields Villas

The community that started the trend for holiday homes, Lindfields is as established as the Orlando attractions themselves. Situated to the west of World Drive (the main route into Walt Disney World Resort), the community offers traditional villas that makes any Brit feel at home with road names like Parliament Court, Picadilly Circle and Tottenham Way.

Looking to play a few rounds golf? If so, Lindfields makes an excellent community, with numerous first-rate courses in the area and even more just around the corner. All in all, a little piece of Britain in the heart of Disney.

As with all things British, the local Mercantile Bank is one of the few places where you can exchange UK currency for US Dollars. Heading east on US192 for around 3 miles, there is the Rolling Oaks shopping complex with a Publix supermarket.

The Formosa Gardens Village shopping complex a mile further and has a supermarket, pharmacy, walk-in medical centre, liquor store and a selection of other shops (including an ATM cash machine). For eating out, there is a selection of restaurants and eateries, which include an Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, Giordano's Italian restaurant, as well as both a Chinese take-away and Japanese sushi bar. For quick snacks, there is also a Subway, Taco Bell and Dairy Queen.

Linfields is located just south of the westerly section of highway US192 (the main road through to Kissimmee). This or the less-busy western route SR429 offer the most straightforward driving route to Walt Disney World. For Universal Studios, SeaWorld and the International Drive area, head for Interstate 4 then north towards Orlando. Orlando International airport is accessible from Interstate 4 and the Beachline Expressway SR528. This is also the route to Kennedy Space Center and Cocoa Beach.

For the Gulf coast and Busch Gardens, head south on Interstate 4 towards Tampa. For Legoland Florida, head south on highway US27 at the intersection with Interstate 4.

Driving distances are taken from Google Maps and reference a central starting point in the community. When quoting distances to Walt Disney World Resort, these are not taken to the 'gates', but are representative of the actual distance to the specific attraction. Driving distances are not biased to any villa community.

These villa rental communities are located to the west of the SR429 toll road and just south of US192. Villas located near here have a quick route through to highway US192 and the Walt Disney World Resort - especially Animal Kingdom. Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and the other Disney parks are easily accessible via the main thoroughfare of World Drive. Interstate 4 is the likely route when visiting Seaworld, Universal Studios and the International Drive attractions.
