Moving!

Hi all! My husband and I are looking to move to the Orlando area or the surrounding area soon! Does anyone have anyone have any suggestions on towns or apartment to look at?

Use the search bar, that is my suggestion, then do the same on the Orlando sub.

You should try the Orlando subreddit and Facebook groups.

Hard to make a recommendation without knowing where your jobs will be located, what activities you enjoy, what your budget is, etc.

So easy to look at a map and think something isn’t that far away here. In reality it could be 30 minutes to an hour even with tolls.

Exactly. You can have a 30 mile commute that takes 40 minutes or a 5 mile commute that takes 50 minutes depending on the area and direction.

You should come down to Orlando and look around yourself. What suitable for one is not suitable for another.

I honestly don't understand why people don't visit an area first. They just fly blind and then act all shocked when nothing is like they think it should be.

I’m convinced 90% of posts like these are people who saw a TikTok that showed a fantasy view of Florida and their next stop is Reddit to ask us to plan their moves.

Hopefully you both have good paying jobs

What is important to you? Close to work (where’s that)? Good schools? Near Disney? Downtown or suburban?

Get jobs first before moving

Let me guess, best you can do is $1200 for 3 bedrooms for your 5 kids

Did you try google maps to get an idea of what is where?

Just don’t expect anything under 2k.

Depends on your budget, commute, age, like or dislike of theme parks, beach

Yeah, move to Maitland or Winter Park since you didn’t post a budget?

If you have a tiny budget, move to Lake Wales and be sad every day.

What do you value in a place to live?

u/No_Royal8268 12h ago

I've heard Winter Park is nice.

You gave us WAY too much info.
