Hello!

I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

I have a possible job offer in Viera, FL. My husband could re-locate in his job to Orlando. My question is can anyone suggest any towns or cities between Viera and Orlando for us to live in?

We live in Memphis, TN, and are used to commuting 30-45 minutes (sometimes an hour depending on rush hour traffic) to and from our jobs. Not really looking for "it depends on what you are interested in and what you like", because we are within driving distance already of beaches and theme parks, etc. All I am concerned with is safety. Memphis crime stats are pretty bad, so not looking for "the perfect community area" although it would be nice if I could find it!

I would appreciate any and all information and responses since I will have to make a decision on the job by this Wednesday. THANKS!

Just live in Viera. It's a nice place, there is plenty of shopping, crime is low, and there are no cities between Orlando and Viera anyway! You are talking a minimum hour and a half commute though. There really is no in between.

We just moved to Viera, FL and LOVE it! You couldn't pay me to live in Orlando with all that crime and traffic though! There is really nothing in between worth any consideration so my advise would be to just buy in Viera! It is worth the commute to Orlando as long as you are coming home to a peaceful, safe, friendly community. Check out Capron Ridge! We live in a JerJef home in this community and are very happy here. My husband commutes to Daytona most days and doesn't even mind because he like where we live so much.

Could your husband work from home? You could live somewhere like Chuluota or Wedgefield and would be closer to Orlando, or you could live in Viera, but like some others have said, there is little between other than those.
The crime is exaggerated in Orlando, you can find a good safe spot. I did. You just have to check in with specific areas. Us locals know and can help out. =)
