Moving to Florida (orlando area)
 

Got a job offer I can't refuse. I have a month to get my ass down there and get to work. Any of you floridians have any info on where I should move to close to downtown Orlando. I dont want to find some place and sign a lease to find out I am in some ghetto ass part of town. Any tips or hints as to what areas to look at, would be greatly appreciated!

i heard disney world is nice.

LOL I heard the same thing.... unfortunatly pirates of the carribian doesnt have any openings :(

i dont know the area but congrats on the job and i think you will love living down there

It's getting hot so bring your sun-screen :)

good luck on the new job.
go to www.rent.net or something like it.

There are tons of places, how close to town do you want to be?

I have been trying that... they make them all look pimp... but I dont know if it's a decent area for my son and I.

orlando traffic sucks have fun in it :winkwink:

I would like to be 30-45 minutes away...... got any ideas?

Look for an apartment complex called "Park Central".

Best complex in the entire Southeast.

Only 10 minutes from downtown.

I used to live there when I was in O-Town and loved it.

You aint kidding :1orglaugh

Awesome that's what I wanted to hear.... you rock dude

Thanks alot!

Metro West and Doctor Philips areas would be nice for kids.

All three that I have mentioned are within 5 minutes of Universal Studios (or closer) and about 12 minutes from Downtown.

Try Winter Park area.

Those are nice areas, Hunters Creek is another good area... 15 minutes to Downtown.

oh oh FL in June is hell they said when I asked bout Disney

You need to be east/southeast of downtown. Trust me I know the traffic patterns around here. Forget Metrowest area. Traffic has gotten really bad there. And Winter Park? OMFG. Twenty minutes to go 1 mile during rush hour. The secret is to be near the 408.

Hit me up I know Orlando perfectly!! And I have a child so I know what you mean about wanting to live in the right part of town.

Shitty traffic down that far now too? Hadn't passed the 408 when I was down that way.

Lot of traffic to that new mall?

Of course I live here...

Winter Park is a nice area, depends on what you are looking for. A LOT of people are starting to move into the US27/US192 Area up on 27 they are building houses faster then they can sell them and if your looking to rent or own its a great area, low crime and everything is new. anything around Pine Hills or US 50 near downtown stay away from. The Maitland, Lary Mary areas area really nice. Where about are you working I can give you better ideas.

I stayed in maitland when I went down to check shit out.... it seems cool
I will be working around orange blossom trail if that helps at all :)

the hookers can be found on south orange blossom trail... enjoy

God I hope they don't look like the shit thats in your sig! :helpme

have a good time down ther

Enjoy the girls and the beach man!

45 minutes from Downtown. You can live on the east coast near the beach. Like Tittusville or something. I would hate to reside in Orlando, but I know some people like it.

Fuck, I meant College Park. It was late when I posted and I haven't been over that way in a while. I lived in both areas, Altamonte Springs also at one point. Anyway, fuck if I know anymore, I'm out in fuckland Deltona at this point, headed out to LA in September. Not sure what the hell I was thinking when I moved out this way, other than being closer to my wife's family so she could spend time with them before we split to Cali.

get an extended stay hotel on OBT and check it out for yourself......


what you might think is shitty......someone else may find nice...... :helpme
