Winter Park, FL
Winter Park is a Lovely Place if You Earn Plenty -
11/25/2009As far as towns in Florida go, I think Winter Park is a lovely little village. However, one must have plenty of money to live here. I am an
administrative assistant who earns about $30,000 per year (after 15 years
in the same position at a local academic institution). I rent a two-bedroom apartment 3 miles from the center of town for $810. Public transportation is practically non-existant;the county bus service is unreliable and runs about once per hour. To save money, I walk to work. (Riding a bicycle is quite dangerous in Central Florida.) People brag about the warm weather (Yes, it is very warm all the time!) and I have the huge air conditioning bills to prove it. I feel I had an overall better quality of life back in New England. It is my dream to return to New Hampshire, Vermont, or Massachusetts someday.
