The Grow UCF Buyer Index™
6 miles
The Grow to UCF via SR-50 — closer than any agrihood-lifestyle community in the region
Research Park
Central Florida Research Park is one of the nation's largest university-affiliated research parks — adjacent to UCF, minutes from The Grow
Faculty profile
UCF faculty and incoming professors who want community identity and sustainable living have had zero options before The Grow
From $401K
Entry price — accessible for university salary ranges entering home ownership in Central Florida
UCF faculty buyers are a systematically underserved real estate segment. They earn less than corporate professionals, value walkability and community identity highly, and typically want something that reflects their values rather than generic suburban product. The Grow is the first community in the Orlando metro designed around values that align with that profile.
UCF Faculty / Professor
Income-constrained relative to corporate buyers, but values-driven. Farmhouse aesthetic, community gardens, and farm programming are the lifestyle signals this buyer responds to.
UCF Graduate Student
Phase 2 buyer — rents first near UCF, then purchases at The Grow when income allows. The Grow's entry price ($401K) is accessible for postdoc or early-career academic salaries.
Research Park Professional
Tech and research professionals at the Central Florida Research Park who want sustainable community living near their employer.
Out-of-State Academic Relocatee
UCF hires nationally. A professor moving from a Pacific Northwest or Northeast university city brings cultural values (farmers' markets, sustainability, walkable community) that The Grow delivers better than any other Central Florida option.
