Kissimmee is calm and peaceful. Though there are some areas(Orange Blossom Trail)that are ragged, overall everyone is a community. Now that more money is being put into the town, lots of apartments and buildings are being constructed. In a few years, this small town will be boarding on Orlando! There's one part of town that I particularly enjoy, and it's called downtown Kissimmee. It's got shops galore and many restaurants. It's the perfect place to spend an afternoon with your family for some bonding time. The schools in the area are great too--very supportive and sporty. Two particular schools I really appreciate are Neocity and Gateway High School. Both have high standards and offer programs for their students, one of which is the IB program--which I recently got accepted into.
If you're looking for a peaceful, family-friendly, community-bound Neighborhood, then Kissimmee would be my first choice for you.

Most of the residential areas of Kissimmee are safe and quiet. Most of the car movement in neighborhoods is due to the people living in the area, rather than strangers. Houses in northern Kissimmee can be moderately affordable according to an individuals budget; houses for sale can range from an estimated price range of 150,000 to 200,000+. However, renting houses in Kissimmee can be less affordable due to high demand. Also, many of the public schools around residential areas have good educational opportunities. For instance, students living in Kissimmee have the benefit of dual enrolling and taking college classes at any of the accessible Valencia campuses as well as enjoying high-level curriculums for middle and high school such as: International Baccalaureate (offered at specific schools). Also, there are a variety of fun theme parks and attractions families could go to in Kissimmee, such as escape rooms, amusement parks, air tours, zip lines, boat tours, and many more!
I lived here in the Kissimmee area for over 21 years. Back in 2000, it was quiet, peaceful, and had a lot of potential for being a great place to live. People were for the most part friendly, and it appeared folks just respected each other and went on with their days. Today, Kissimmee is overpopulated it appears everyone from all around the world has decided to move/live here all at once. The roads can't handle the sudden influx of people and neither can the public services. There is a bunch of road rage, and the attitudes of citizens moving in is different than what was previously here (meaning there is very little respect and every man for himself).
