The Metrowest Golf course is one of the most popular in Orlando. When the golf course originally opened it was managed by Arnold Palmer. The course also has tennis courts and a restaurant.

The children of Metrowest attend Metrowest Elementary, Gotha or Chain of Lakes Middle School, and Olympia High School.School zones change so if you are purchasing to get into a particular school make sure to check with the Orange County school board before buying your home. Also, the long awaited new high school in the Windermere and Winter Garden area will most likely change the local high school zones.

Metrowest has 8 single family home subdivisions totaling 1,259 homes. The vast majority of the community residents live in town homes, condominiums and apartments. With more than 5,300 living in condominiums and nearly 3,000 living in apartments. During the housing boom, several of the apartment complexes were converted to condominiums in an effort to keep up with the condo demand. There were also new condominiums and town house communities that were built. When the market crashed, many of these units were left vacant and for a time there were major issues in some of the complexes with vacancy and failure to pay association fees. The majority of these units have since been sold and are now occupied. Partially complete construction projects have been for the most part been completed. The communities are still maintained, but the values of the units are not at their former very high price tags.
