What is a safe and diverse area to raise children in Florida? |
Travel Info My family is thinking of relocating to Florida soon and we would like to know, what city is a good place to raise children? Safety is the most important, although diversity is a factor also. Please help with suggestions. We are moving from Maryland. Travel Tips i would go southwest florida -- sarasota down -- public schools in orlando are really bad. the highest ranked public high school is in a largely poor and latin part of town. i don't get these weirdos that like their gated communities on the east side. every house looks the same and you have to pay the home owners association to make sure it stays that way. east orlando has the diversity of colorado. east orlando around the university also boasts the highest crime rate in orlando -- the university is has no entrance qualifications so a large number of kids drop out and sell drugs and fun stuff like that. i live downtown and it is more diverse -- but not exactly like anything you would be used to in maryland. there is a small vietnamese community and a growing mexican immigrant population to the south. orlando also boasts a large puerto rican community to the east -- but not so far east as ucf. it is also quieter and traffic isnt as annoying as it is on the east side. Others Orlando and Celebration is a very family oriented area to bring up children. Southeast Orlando is one of the fastest growing areas of Orlando right now. There are many excellent schools, shopping, dining, employment and it's the home of the UCF main campus. This area is bustling but not too huge, boasts a lot of technology jobs, home to A rated schools and is far enough away from the 'touristy' parts of Orlando. However, the theme parks are less than one hour away, the coast is one hour away. You can have small town living in the midst of all this, but the variety to do what you want on the weekends! Orlando is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. I believe the last answerer means Northeast Orlando. Its a great place, epscially the Oviedo area. I went to UCF and my sister still lives there. Its really great. Other areas in Orlando are Winter Park (if you can afford it. It has the best HS in the area) Waterford Lakes and Winter Springs. I am from south Ft Myers which is super up and coming and pretty safe as well. Schools are getting better and they have a lot of arts things in the works. Naples is nice if you can afford to live in the nicer areas. Lakeland is small and safe and home to Florida Souther University. Sarasota is growing and the Dunedin/Oldsmar area of Tamps is great too. Hope this helps. Feel from to email me if you want more info. I am a teacher and live in NY now for the last 3 years but lived in FL for my first 23 years. :) Anything on the east, from Oviedo, to the Narcoossee area east of the airport. In Seminole County start with Oviedo, Winter Springs, In Orange County start with Waterford Lakes Area. Links below http://www.cityofoviedo.net/ http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?i... |
