Pros and Cons of Living In Orlando Florida

Forgot about the roaches.

This is a great assessment. I moved here from Virginia 26 years ago with my husband. It was a bit of a culture shock initially. We lived in Metro West then Lake Mary and now Sanford. Sanford is up and coming with craft beers and the night scene. There is a quaint downtown area, also the Sunrail stops right in Sanford. I-4 and tourists are probably my biggest pet peeve. But, Orlando and the attractions thrive on tourists...so you take the good with the bad. Oh, and Dr. Phillips in downtown Orlando, if you like the arts!

Wait!? Max Headroom selling real estate now?

One of the Cons: high frequency of crazy drivers, either super slow or zip zapping on highways.

Still deciding if I want to move to Orlando next year. 🤔 Used to live in Broward/Miami Dade and cost of living is out of hand. 🙄I think one challenge would be what area to move to. I prefer being within 15 minutes of a gym, grocery stores (preferably Publix), and food joints. And I really hope there are things to do besides the parks. Sad there’s no professional football team 😟

I wouldn’t want to live there permanently, but I’d love to spend a year or two in Orlando because there’s just so much to do. Such a big difference from where I’m from, all we have is one movie theater. 😅 I just don’t think I could take the weather there very long. Too hot and humid.
