Seriously? Wikipedia?

Have you BEEN to HC? 14% is...incorrect. My comment was in reference that it's not the typical AMERICAN suburban experience. It may be typical around here, but not for most of the rest of the USA.

So take your wikipedia & race baiting elsewhere....

Yeah, I have a tendency to trust you over the US Census Numbers because your perception is so much more likely to be accurate. Yes, I have been to Hunters Creek and know what it looks like, and as a matter of fact it closely resembles many American suburbs and if you've ever been outside the state you'd know that. They're called planned communities and they've become the typical American suburban community over the past 10 years. By the way the area you're referring to as so heavily Hispanic is called Meadow Woods, not Hunters Creek.

You should be well aware of that.

Neither do posts with incorrect capitalization, poor grammar or lousy spelling.

It might sound a little strange to you - but some of the things we want our family to see is as simple as a Walmart, a Dennys, outlets etc.
(I hope that's not offensive to anyone but that's what *America* is to us. )

We'll be hiring a car from the Disney World resort, so anything in that area would be good. (The less we have to tackle the opposite side of the road, the better )

Thanks,
Indygo

I for one am not offended. All the things you described are what America is

Take a look into the east Orlando area as well. Its a suburb thats still in the Orlando area thats as far away from tourism as you can be, where the real suburban Orlandians live. Take a drive along Alafaya (al uh fay uh) Trail between Curry Ford and University Blvd, drive down Avalon Park Blvd as well, gorgeous homes over their. Thats real suburban America right there

Another good area to look into is Hunter's Creek. Take a drive down John Young Parkway between Central Florida Parkway and Osceola Parkway, or use South Orange Blossom Trail between Central FL and Osceola Pkwy too. Once again, lots of nice real suburban homes mostly off of Town Center and Hunter's Creek Boulevards. Those are typical American suburban neighborhoods

That part of OBT between Central Florida and Osceola is extremely nice. whats the official area of this location? I just say Freedom, Hunters Creek OBT side.

OBT between CFL Pkwy and Osceola Pkwy passes through several areas

Sky Lake South (between CFL Pkwy and Whisper Lakes Blvd)

Southchase (from Whisper Lakes down to Deerfield Blvd)

Hunter's Creek from Deerfield Blvd to Osceola Pkwy

I live down here Kyle, Hunters Creek IS heavily hispanic. Meadow Woods even more so

The demographics of Hunters Creek are a bit more diverse than Meadow Woods, I'd say the population is about 50/50 between whites and hispanics, but there are also a lot of East Indians as well as Middle Eastern residents there too, and Asians

Ok so I was correct. Southchase, Hunters Creek came to mind. Sky Lake is Florida Mall and that neighborhood area so Sky Lake south fits. thanks.

I'll note that small town/suburban America is, in many cases, a lot less European white than it used to be.
