Orlando childcare real estate: values, cap rates & market data.
What childcare centers and daycare properties are worth in the Orlando metro — grounded in our own Florida sold-comps database and U.S. Census data, from the Florida-headquartered childcare-only brokerage.
One of the few big metros still adding young children.
Orlando is the rare large metro where the under-5 population is still growing — up 3.2% since 2018, while the metro added roughly 271,000 residents and median household income rose 37% to $75,611.
Growing child counts are the direct input to enrollment demand — and enrollment demand is what business buyers and net-lease investors underwrite. In a state where childcare trades around a 7.1% median cap, a full Orlando center is a sought-after asset.
