Which is the Best Place to live Orlando or Tampa?
 Hello I am a single mom from Mississippi and I am thinking about relocating to Tampa or Orlando. Me and my son are going to Orlando to visit Sea World and I am going to look around and see if any of these cities are what I'm looking for. Can you give me any advice? |

move
Lots of people from FL are moving to Raleigh, NC. I moved in 95 from the Winter Springs area and love it here. If any of you want info on the area, just let me know. The schools are great, its a family friendly area with a much more stable real estate market then FL has at the moment.

[quote=Dizzy is Moving;387544]My first post - I have lived all around Central Florida: Orlando, Metro West, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Maitland, etc.
The amount of insane people posting about Orlando being some kind of drug crazed, mafia run cess pool is a bunch of BS, to put it kindly. If i had the time to spend to correct all the disinfo & paranoia being posted around here, I would - but i just dont have that kind of time. I am moving to the west coast of the us come July, so in my spare time I'll be in the California forum and i will do my best to help future Orlando residents here in this forum as well.
I am very familiar with Orlando and its close neighboring cities. If your moving here, or considering it, ask me anything you want. I will not sugarcoat it, but more inportantly - I will not give you some kind of delusional paranoid rant on Orlando being the next gotham city.

 I agree. I'm all for not blowing smoke up anyone's A** but some of these folks go way overboard on the doom and gloom

Dizzy, If I work in Orlando than where would be the safest family neighborhood to live in within a 30-60 minute drive ? I am thinking Davenport or Clearmont.Open to suggestions.

I am considering moving to orlando area. Will be working at the airport (MCO) and would like to stay close. Can you recommend a safe and decent neighborhood to look into (leaning toward condo but house is not out of the option). I am a SWF in my 50's and travel a lot. Also, this is the first time I will be out on my own (sad, but true) and do not have "high end" resources available. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

Hunters Creek is a safe and generally convenient area. The biggest downfall is that some people aren't thrilled with the schools. |
