i was born and raised in orlando and lived in college park my whole life and moved away in 2007, when i was 22. considering moving back myself. you winter park snutts need to get off your high horse and exept the fact that urban decay happens. i grew up in the late 80s-early 2000s in orlando and just in my time i saw the city grow 3 fold. i had friends that lived in some of these "terrible areas" you guys speak of and there are only a few that were really really bad. like parramore, crime hills, and rosemont (crime hills east) ive heard that metrowest has became a hell-hole too -go figure. personally i think just about any neighborhood in orlando that was built after the 1950s is crap. thats just me though.

Subdivisions on Forsyth Road are generally safe areas. I have lived in Orlando here 10 years.

I think we are close to the bottom but it will get worse. We are still in the midst of the Government's bright idea of allowing unconventional mortgages awarded to people who barely or did not qualify at all. More homes than meet the eye are for sale but depending on the area, some owners aren't allowing their Realtor's to put For Sale signs on the properties. The statistics of the unemployed are not correct. Many are not counted who ran out of benefits, people that got turned down for Unemployment who deserved it but failed to appeal the decision, people have relocated to other areas in hopes of finding work, people forced to retire early because of layoffs and inability to find work, people who became housewives or house husbands since they could not find jobs, ones that work 2 near minimum wage PT jobs, and spouses that work a FT AND a PT job because their spouse lost theirs. More and more students are quitting schools, graduating from high schools, and colleges, that aren't on any Unemployment Lists, yet they cannot find work. More jobs are being lost and more companies are sending jobs overseas. The amount of new jobs created in FL doesn't even begin to make a dent in the numbers who no longer have any jobs at all. Recovery, when and if it comes, will take a decade or more.

I'm not sure if anyone has said this but, Winter Park ends well before Semoran Blvd. Heck, Winter Park Pines isn't even in Winter Park. The suburbs talked about are actually Orange County.

There are many areas east of 436 with Winter Park addresses.

Semantics...for all practical purposes it includes the areas where the Winter Park name is affixed, up to standards or not. Much like how Orlando lays claim to it's unincorporated areas to puff up it's population numbers.

OK.... Look. The Post Office is located in Winter Park for these areas in question, so, they have a Winter Park address. If you have problems with the areas complain to Orange County. Or, how about this, take 5 seconds and look at a map.

As do most major cities. Once again citing Las Vegas as an example, their population of the city proper is about 550,000, but if you add the unincorporated areas, its 1.3 Million
