We moved to Orlando 7 yrs ago and its just fine. You cant find a city that has more to do especially for kids. Between the mouse and Universal alone you'll be kept busy. The beaches are 1/2 hour away and we live in shorts all year around! Does it pay like up North, no. Do we have crime...yes. Have I been a victim...no. Are the schools good? Depends where you live. Orlando is very culturally diverse with a high minority population. There are high numbers of Puerto Rican, South American, Afro-American and Carribean people living everywhere in the city in every neighborhood. I've made friends from around the world and have been to parties (mostly family oriented)that introduced me to an array of cultures. If you lack a rednecked mentality and enjoy a worldly flare, come try it out for a few years....you can always move back and one things for sure, you'll never be bored in this town.
