Places like Lake Park, Juno Beach, Hobe Sound, Sebring, Lake Placid, Lake Wales, Arcadia, Englewood, Stuart, Jensen Beach, Fort Pierce, Sebastian, St Cloud and Titusville are examples of towns that have maintained the feel of "old Florida" despite relative proximity to heavily populated areas.
Lake Park = GHETTO
Juno Beach = Condos and cops
Ft Pierce- GHETTO
Jensen Beach - strip malls
Stuart - zero community planning, hodgepodge of mixed development from fast food to car dealers!

Your husband wouldn't want to slow the car down in Hialeah compared to when he was there last. Remember 1979, the Cuban invasion happened and Hialeah has never been the same.

Can't say I have ever seen bars on the 2nd floor windows before!

Hialeah, FL: http://www.city-data.com/city/Hialeah-Florida.html

Murder rate (/100k people)

2001: 3.9
2002: 3.8
2003: 5.6
2004: 5.2
2005: 3.5
2006: 2.2
2007: 3.2
2008: 3.8
2009: 3.8
2010: 5.5
2011: 1.8
2012: 1.7
2013: 5.6

Looks fairly ok to me, which is why scaremongering with one incident is not a good idea.

What a silly comment ! Hialeah had Cubans starting in the early 1960's and they filled the Textile jobs way before 1979 !
The "Cuban" invasion you are talking about was the "Mariel" boat lift of May 1980 where the "Marielitos" settled afterwards.

That being said Hialeah went from a White "Blue Collar" suburb to a Hispanic "Blue Collar" suburb. Hialeah isn't dangerous unless you are a Trump supporter.

Yes, you are correct as I was thinking Mariel = Cuban invasion.

Classic......dangerous if you are Trump supporter!

I can see having bars on 1st floor windows in a bad area. As I checked the neighborhood, there were almost no 2nd floor bars on windows except on that one building. Maybe the residents have a reason for that, like drugs??

He's certainly going to notice how built up Florida has become and the increased traffic congestion as a result,the plethora of highrise hotels and condos where open ocean/gulf views used to be.He's going to be amazed at how Florida is now than it was in the 60's.
