Altamonte Springs is an up and coming suburb of Orlando with something for everyone! It is friendly and convenient to downtown as well as Maitland and Winter Park, without the high price tag! The schools and parks are great, we especially love Pawmosa dog park and the food truck events at Lake Concord. There are community events for July 4 and Christmas at Cranes Roost Park. We’ve lived in the Orlando area for over 20 years, and specifically in Altamonte Springs for the past two years, and we love it!
I enjoy living in Altamonte Springs, Florida because of the diversity of people and places to see. We have cranes to look at as well as other small and large creatures. When I first moved to Altamonte Springs from New Jersey, I had difficulty with the weather but I have gotten used to the constant heat and humidity. Altamonte Springs has many different restaurants ranging from a deli to burgers to fancy restaurants. The healthcare workers here in town are wonderful, including the local hospital. During the pandemic, the local government and healthcare workers have kept us safe by keeping the mask mandate going.
A lot of places are relatively close together; it's somewhat walk-able and there is a park behind the mall that I love going to (and so does the puppy). There is some entertainment in the area but this is not a party neighborhood. It's about half an hour to get to Downtown Orlando by car and roughly 40 minutes to Disney or Universal's parks using I-4. The weather is typical Florida, for tourists it can give headaches from the pressures coming from the sea on all sides. My personal biggest downside is the public transportation is not the greatest, so having a car is a must to go grocery shopping, going out for entertainment or food, etc.
