Hello...I have lived in Hunter's Creek for 5+ years now--I love it here. I don't know where the above poster lived that they felt this was not the case
--but all of Hunter's Creek is a fine area to live in. Hunter's Creek is a heavily DEED RESTRICTED community of approx 25,000 residents. The homeowner's association for ALL of Hunter's Creek is extremely strict. If you park on the street overnight, don't mow your yard, dare to set your trash out too early, park a commercial vehicle overnight, don't maintain the outside of your home, and do a zillion other things against the rules you WILL get a letter telling you to correct the problem immediately. Just today our new Hunter's Creek monthly magazine was delivered to all residences in Hunter's Creek and someone in one of the "villages" has TOO MANY trees in their yard--they have to get rid of at least one more. These restrictions can seem to go overboard, but in the long-run they are what keeps Hunter's Creek looking nice. There is no such thing as a slum area inside Hunter's Creek.
As for being safe, Hunter's Creek is extremely safe when compared to other areas in Orlando. We do not have much of what one would call violent crime at all. We have a fairly heavy police patrol in our area at all times. If you have a true 911 emergency, police and fire will be there within a matter of 2-5 minutes...minor car accidents--you'll wait longer. I walk in the evening and have walked at 11pm without worry. You will see people walking in all areas of the community at most times thruout the day. The crimes which we experience are mostly what one would consider "petty crimes". There have been a lot of foreclosures--so unfortunately, the yards at those homes are not as well maintained as the community requires.
As for apartment complexes--the same rules apply to them as to individual homes. It is actually in the apartment complexes that most of the petty crime goes on. Most all of the apartment complexes have security gates, but none are 24 hr. manned by guards.
Because we have EVERYTHING right here that one could possibly need as far as shopping, dining, theater, medical, etc.--I find that I rarely leave the Hunter's Creek area. We have a huge shopping area called "The Loop" which is right on our border. This is all new within the last couple of years.
If you would like any info on any place in particular, i would be happy to help--just let me know.
Good Luck in your search.
