Longwood, FL
Great for families -
8/22/2006Longwood is a great place for families because of the schools, kid friendly places etc. But...not so great if you are a single person. The houseing is geared toward families and there are few places to rent or buy which would be the right size for a single. A one or two bedroom home is almost impossible to find. I find myself living in a large three bedroom, two bath home on a large lot and I would be happier in a smaller home with less maintenace. Most of the apartments in this area are going condo.
Also, there are few places for singles to socialize. It is all about the family here so if that is your focus....this is the place to be. If you are single and work in Longwood or any community outside of Orlando, I would suggest biting the bullet and paying the very high rent and taking the long drive through terrible traffic instead of living here. At least in Orlando you will have a social life once you get home and will not be a slave to your suburban lawn on the weekends.

7/27/2005This "town" has no identity of it's own and is really just a suburb of Orlando. It is well positioned however with regard to major connecting roads and therefore it is easy to get around.
