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

THANK you! The demographics of Hunters Creek, again, do NOT match those of a TYPICAL American suburb. That's not a bad thing, just keeping the conversation within the paramaters of the original question.

Having spent a very good part of my childhood in the Hunter's Creek area, to me it is a typical American suburb that is just more diverse than most in other suburbs of America. To me diversity to the extent it is in Orlando is "normal" or "typical"

I think one of the reasons minorities of all groups flock to Orlando is because they know they have opportunities to move up in life here. Look at the Wyndham Lakes subdivision in Meadow Woods. GORGEOUS $500k+ homes (even in THIS market) and it is almost entirely Hispanic, same applies to Southchase (though not quite as expensive, still gorgeous homes though)

Orlando is interesting in the sense that the closer you get to the "urban core" the more "white" the population becomes. All those older homes north (College Park) east (Thornton Park) and south (Delaney Park) of downtown are almost entirely white. Those areas have been that way for decades, and Im sure some of those homes have been passed down for generations

And the newer outer suburbs (Hunters Creek, Meadow Woods, Waterford Lakes, Avalon Park, etc) are much more diverse and whites (myself included) are often a minority of the population

Back on topic to the OP, if you wish to check out some more upscale suburbs too, take a look at Winter Park and Maitland. Very nice areas
