I have lived in Orange County on-and-off throughout my life. I love living here. There is a place for everyone, if you know where to look. I will raise my children here as well. The traffic is kind of terrible, and there are a few areas to stay away from. But mostly, this is a wonderful area full of great people!
I've spent my entire life in Orlando Florida and their is no other place like this! There is warm weather year round, friendly people, and delicious food. Where else can you enjoy the beach in early February? Also, our winter clothes are always on sale, so if your visiting you can shop around for things to take back home with you.
Orange County is an interesting place to live. There are so many subdivisions that one could drive a couple miles down a busy thoroughfare and suddenly feel as if you have been transported away to a rural town. I like this type of living because I prefer to have a little more space, away from the busy buzz of the road. However, I also like to have my modern conveniences, as one would living in a big city. In a way it's the best of both worlds.
Beside these things, there are beautiful trees all over the county, plenty of lakes and natural areas to enjoy, and for those who like entertainment, this is the place for it! Hello, Walt Disney World, shopping galore, food from around the world, and so much more!
