I created this KZread channel to give insight on what its like to live in Central Florida. Whether it's to live your Disney dream, for change of pace, climate, or lifestyle, I will do my best to portray an accurate picture of what to expect when moving to Orlando!

If you're ever ready to make that move to Orlando, I would love to be your resource!

    Apartment and Housing prices in Orlando is ridiculously expensive. Apartments: 1 bd 1 bt 530 sq ft beginning at $1200 and up. Houses: starter houses new or used 3 bd 1.5 bt are beginning from $289,000 and up with no fences to separate your property a middle starter house $360,000 3 bd 2 bt 1 car gr and up. A single person has to hope that finding a place to live in Orlando will come to them when that person is making $25/hr or better this is just crossing o er the line. 2 people living together will allow you to be stress free. Orlando does not believe in sidewalks. I noticed this in so many places throughout Orange County the safety factor is nearly none existent. I see people walking on the side of extremely busy main roads and people waiting for the bus on these very same roads. The bus system is atrocious, it takes nearly 3 hours for a bus to pickup a person at a bus stop. There are no seated stops so people wait in blazing sun light or rain. The drivers in Orlando are extremely dangerous because they tailgate very close to the back of your car. They do not follow speed limits or use reasonable increase of speed. I-4 is the most dangerous highway in all of America. The use of highway and road building is not there in my opinion. Try Houston, TX

    Orlando just needs a proper subway ride system just like manhattan. lots of tourist can easily go from one place to another. in few minutes. from disney to seaworld to universal, conentional centers i drive,downtown and sporting events. it will reduce the traffic on the roads. the tech giants are already moving to this city. Orlando also needs a little skycraper line, i mean commerical spaces on the bottom and residential on top. a little city near the downtown area., these two will heavily improve the image of this city. orlando dont look like a major city without skycrapers, otherwise Orlando is one of the major city of US. but it doesnt look like

    Orlando's toll road system looks like spaghetti. And all it's traffic. Trying to drive across the city has become a 60-90 minute commitment of frustration. I am moving to Jax with a loop, lower cost of housing, beaches, and a lot more space. And a hurricane? Just drive north a few minutes and you escape the horrible traffic jams of millions trying to get out of South and Central Florida.

    Brother, your English is nearly perfect! Thank you! I would have guessed that you were born here. "Wet and Wild," was my favorite place to go back in the day. I'm very glad you remember that it existed! Wet and Wild was fun, accessible and above all, AFFORDABLE!!! Big business took that all away from us. But, we do not need to over populate this city. We need to work on making the place better for those who are already, here. We do not need to get any larger. That said, lets continue our success and vote for Ron DeSantis, again. The greatest governor we've seen in my lifetime.

If you pass something or need to turn around it’s all so illogical and difficult to turn around. On top of that. People carelessly drive. I’m in Brevard and just barely missed t boning the side of someone’s car because they couldn’t just wait to pull out and turn left, and it was raining.

    As someone that has lived in Volusia west county my entire life right by the border of Seminole county I found this video interesting and insightful. Deltona is the city I've called home for 3/4 of my life is the most populated city in Volusia and it's basically a giant suburb where there's practically no commercial or industry and only residential zoning and everyone that actually makes livable wages works in Orlando. To be able to survive here you need a car and that's been one of my biggest pet peeves of this area my whole life, the SunRail has made it slightly better but it only operates on weekdays because it doesn't get enough passengers to justify operating on the weekend, hopefully it's expansion into DeLand and Daytona over the next few years can attract more non-work commuters to justify weekend operation again.

    I am born and raised from the heart of Orlando, my mom is still in the house I grew up in and we never moved when I was a kid. My mother bought our house for $68k in the 90s and our immediate next door neighbors home just sold for $400k last month. We couldn’t believe it. I’m being pushed out of the place I was born in because I simply cannot afford it. I make more than a teacher in hospitality and ironically make more than my mother did when she bought our house, adjusted for inflation. I still can’t get ahead. Also do not get me started on traffic. The same 5 mile drive that took me 15 min in 2015 now takes me 30 min.

    Orlando has a lot of people with a ton of education and talent. Orlando has a potential to be a large cultural hub in art, health, business and medicine. It has a huge amount of potential to be a larger market city but they need to improve their inner city transportation from East to West. Not just I4 North to South.

    Orlando will never be very good because it grew after the period where development was positive. It has a horrible transportation system, including it's roads. The theme parks depress the wages in the region. It has totally uninteresting architecture and a lack of arts. Basically, Orlando has all the problems of a large city and none of the benefits.

    You’re kidding me with all these “more affordable” places being in 400’s when I legit know people who bought a brand new construction home in late 2020/early 2021 for $225k in Orlando. This is insane, these prices need to drop. Not even a good tech job can afford you a home like this. The irony is, can you even very comfortably afford a $430k home on your own selling homes? Genuinely curious.

    Like always, the only thing stopping Orlando from being great is Florida politics, stopping all progress in its tracks. Especially when it comes to jobs, crimes, and people’s rights. I personally don’t think they should have made it EASIER for people with no experience to buy guns, we don’t deserve that privilege with all the shit that goes on.
