Winter Springs, FL
It's nice, but it was wonderful a few years ago. -
6/23/2007I have lived in Winter Springs 3 times in the past 8 years and I have to agree with a couple of things and I will give you my feeling about the area.
Nice schools, nice area. I agree. Super expensive, I agree.
Now, I have seen the changes in Winter Springs, there has been a lot of growth which also has made it very expensive and honestly for what the area has become, it's not worth your money. You can't buy anything as everything is very expensive. If you rent, you'll be looking at almost $1000.00 for a 2 bedroom apartment, and guess what?, it's an old apartment with a face lift and lots of problems.
Crime has risen as well. You will see that Winter Springs has become just another city in Central Florida where you really don't get what you pay for.
Beware, groceries are expensive, gas is expensive, cost of living is very high. I used to feel very safe going out at night, I have to admit that I rather not go out at night unless I'm in a group, but that's my personal opinion.
Orlando, FL
People! I think we're not in Orlando anymore! -
12/2/2006I have to agree with the last posting that Orlando has changed. To some people for the better but for me and thousands more...FOR THE WORSE!!!
They have build so much and thousands of people have moved here that it makes it dificult to even find a decent paying job. In 2004 alone, more than 500,000 people moved to Florida and believe me when I tell you, this has made things dificult for all who lived here. We'll have to wait to see the results of how many more have moved in 2005-2006 which I'm sure will be even more.
Bottom line, Orlando's crime rate has gone up, cost of living has increased, job situation is not the way it was, Food prices are up, utilities are up. Should I say more???? Orlando was and it will never be again a nice place to call home!
