Too little for Too much.

I have lived in Altamonte Springs for almost 2 years. The rent here is ridiculous thanks to most of the area going condo. I moved into what I thought would be a quiet,peaceful, somewhat stress free apartment complex. WRONG!! I pay $890 per month and that is with a "discount" that is offered for signing a year lease. The neighbors are loud and don't follow any of the rules set, (like grilling on a balcony underneath my own balcony). Loud booming car stereos at 2 in the morning. I found drug paraphernalia on the ground just 3 weeks ago. The downstairs neighbors don't speak English, and have 1 woman, at least 3 men and 3 small children living in a two bedroom apt. They leave their door open alot and you can see childrens bunk beds and a toddler bed in the living room. From what I have heard about the Orlando/Altamonte Springs area this is common practice. I live on Wymore Rd in Altamonte and its a strange sight to see because one side of the road is apartment complexes that you can tell aren't in the best of conditions (mine was the nicest here judging the outside appearance), the other side is gated housing communities with walls so high you can only see the roofs of houses inside. I tried to find other apartments in Altamonte Springs that were not in this area but found that it is more expensive to live elsewhere. I plan to move out of state in July when my lease is finished. I lived in Orlando for a year and Altamonte Springs is quieter, but I suspect it won't be for long.
