Moving to Florida-Keep hearing about high crime-help please
I'm a 34 year college professor relocating to Florida for a job. The position is in Seminole County (Sanford). I am looking for an apartment, condo, etc. for rent. However, every place I research I read about high crime. What are the safest areas in Seminole County and Orlando?

Check out Winter Springs, Lake Mary, Winter Park, and Longwood. All are safe and homes in many price ranges in those areas.

In Sanford itself there are some new condos/apartment on Lake Monroe. Not far from the Marina. I'm sorry I don't know the names but a google search should help.
The neighborhood is find and they've spent a lot of time and $$ revitalizing the downtown area. Lots of neat places to eat and hang out. |

If you're working in Sanford, I'd look into Lake Mary. It's right next door. Crime rate is very low. It is safe here. Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitors sites is not allowed There are nice places in Sanford too, but you have to be picky. Where are you coming from? I came from PA and the crime here doesn't compare to there. To me, Philly is way worse. What price range are you looking at?
Check out Knotting Hill, Colonial Town Park in Heathrow, Regency Park at Lake Mary, Bentley Park and there are new condos in Sanford off 46A.(not sure what they are called)
Good luck!
