I love it in Oviedo -
3/17/2010I've lived in Oviedo now for about 8 or 9 years and love it. I've seen the growth in Oviedo and it's been a boom for a while now. With the increase in the population, there has been a need for retail, restaurants and services to come to the city...and they have. Everything in Oviedo is convenient to me. The mall is 10 minutes away, the 417 (highway) as well, parks (several of them including a skate park for the kids), and yet it's less than 30 minutes to downtown Orlando. I'm glad I've moved there and live in a very nice subdivision which was built about 6 years ago. There is a lot of construction not only in residential, but, in commercial real estate as well. The only issue I've had to deal with is that just like any fast growing area, crime has begun to "creep" in. There have been numerous burglaries in the area, both in my subdivision as well as just this morning in my neighborhood. The days of leaving your front door and car unlocked are in the past. Aside from that, which I don't believe you can escape anywhere in the country...Oviedo is a great place to live, work and raise a family.
