Review of Orlando, Florida


I regret the day I moved this hell city orlando
Star Rating - 6/1/2006
My family and I, like everyone else looking for sun and palm trees moved here to orlando fl 3 yrs ago.

Here we go with the problems
1) only one good area for schools which is dr phillips, and the houses here start at $600,000.
2) the nice area and the ghetto are on the same streets here. You have million dollar homes and projects on the same street.
3)people here are sooooooooooo stuck up and rude, very clickish.
4)alot of adultry in the dr phillips crowd
5)only good place to live if your a doctor or a millionaire retired person
6)FOOD HERE SUCKS, there is no good restaurants, if you go to myflorida.com you can pull up all the restaurants in the area's latest inspections, you will see they harbour roaches, store food on the floor, have rat droppings etc.
7) The schools here are horrible, education is awful. You have to pay 1200 to lake highland private school for a half decent education.
8) The rent for apartments here is terrible, there is drive by shootings, murders and kidnappings in nice neighborhoods like metrowest.
9)HOUSES PRICES ARE THE WORST. No one can afford a house here. In a nice area with great schools you are looking at atlease $500-600,000. And that wont have a pool.
10)I FEEL LIKE all the folks that cant make it anywhere else come to orlando. It is very ghetto here.

Please dont move to orlando, there is no money here, your salary will be halved and your cost of living is the same as new york. Oh and you would think here groceries would be less expensive. I went from spending about $100 a week to around $350. So everything here is expensive and your income depends on tourists.

Oh and lastly drivers here suckkkkkkkk. No one can drive because you have europeans who are used to the other side of the road, so many accidents happen here and there is only one damn highway. DONT MOVE HERE
