REAL Pros and Cons of Living In Orlando Florida
Im stuck, between clermont, Sanford, oveido, winter garden or winter springs.. what the best for outdoor activities?
Can we share your video on FaceBook?
It’s okay with me, Ruth, but I don’t know about Facebook.
Thanks for the real review of Longwood, with your own actual video not like many on the map!
That’s the only to give a real representation of the community. Thanks for watching.
It's amazing how much it has changed in the last 20 years. It used to basically be Willow Tree downtown and little else.
Nice
Dear, I have subscribed to your UA-cam channel. To be by your side forever. Hope you make more good content. thank you
De Bary is the northernmost station on the sun rail, but coming in June or so they’ll be another one more northern then Debary, which will be called Deland.
Yes, and that’s a game changer!
@@reallivinginorlandoflorida7335 True!
I lived in Longwood , actually right across from that golf course/park area , on Raymond Ave … very nice city , miss it from time to time ..
My house was made in 2022 and escrow hit me hard this year. I dint know about the storm of extra expenses of owning a home after a full year of owning a home. I need help lowering everything possible 😅.
And that's with a house built two years ago. It would be much worse with an older home.

Great Video!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Is there alligators there?
Yes
Yes
Hi Dear, How are you? Hope you're well. Really I love your videos. I have searched you a lot on Facebook but I can't find you on Facebook. Do you not use Facebook?
We live in West Sanford in Bella Foresta. Love it up here
Bella Foresta is a beautiful community!
Thank you so much for the tips... & FYI: the music wasn't needed because it was distracting me when I was trying to pay attention.
Wish you did videos on all sides of orlando. Love your videos.
What area would best serve a $550K budget? Kids are going to UCF.
Depends on a few things, @thebossman60. How close do you want to be to UCF? Will your UCF kids be living with you? What are you looking for in a house, as far as size and amenities? Do you have other school age children?
@@reallivinginorlandoflorida7335 looking to be maybe 20 minutes from UCF. Seeking 4 bd, no pool. At least one city away from bad neighborhoods. Elementary schools only for resale purposes. Maybe 2200 to 2400 sq ft. Built after 2000s.
This guy is crazy rates are not dropping he is lying
Crazy, huh? Check out the 90 day chart right here: www.investopedia.com/30-year-mortgage-rates-inch-up-but-stay-near-lowest-level-since-spring-8420080
@@reallivinginorlandoflorida7335 Biden has the pressure of the elections and knowing the immorality that surrounds politicians they will try to pool some kind of shenanigans but reality is that everything food is ten times more expensive one apple 2.50, tomatoes 4.50 a pound , beef 20 bucks a pound the cheap one . We are in trouble
Huge correction coming. They trying to push the FOMO one last time. Oh the rates the rates LOL. Keep you 900K house that was worth 450K two years ago. Let it burn.
They are trying to scare more into homes. If you arent financially ready dont do it or you can be in a scary spot. Sure renting is pricey but imagine being stuck underwater in a home and not ready financially. I’ve seen too many in that spot. Be safe folks. Good video with good info. I’m eager to see what happens next year. Seems like the world is in a messy place.
Buy before the rates go up buy before the rates go down it never ends. It is always the best time to buy if you listen to a real estate agent.
My point, exactly.
Another great video, thank you. So glad we purchased our home through you, it was a fantastic and easy process 🫡
Thank you!!
I still prefer Hallandale Beach Florida more it’s a beautiful city with a growing communities and businesses and a good nightlife.❤️🫡
Hallandale Beach? That's not even in our part of the state. Not sure of the relevance, but glad you like it.
@@dougpackard4298 you should check the city out .
Thanks for your video upload. I'd loved to have seen some of the other neighborhoods of Winter Springs, such as those on and off of Northern Way. We are under contract for a home on Winter Springs Blvd. This video is a 'great' help to getting to know about the parks, those for dogs, as well as those for us! The Town Center, etc. Well done, sir! Hope you have a great holiday season! Best, Jimmy Olson
Thanks for watching, Jimmy. You can see some of the neighborhoods off Northern Way in my Tuscawilla video. Good luck with your purchase. Tuscawilla is a great choice.
Currently looking for a home in each of those 3 neighborhoods! I think Meadowbrooke is my first choice. Just looked at the one across the street from the tennis court but with the home being built in the late 1990's it needed some updating.
Great video! I am in Deltona visiting, I will definitely be there soon
Thanks, Art! Glad you liked it.
Terrible! No representation of Colonial Town Plaza? Where neighbors have gathered for decades at Dexters, The Vineyard, Liam's and Amura, Ruth Chris and the Westin's Don Schula, that is where the Real Residents of Lake Mary have been going for 25 years + The AMC theater and Coldstone and Menchies for ice cream after the movies. You left out Peach Valley and Stonewood. Honestly, there is nothing downtown except 4th Street Grill which is mediocre. I have built 3 homes here and know it very well- I feel you left out the best of everything in Lake Mary- I grew up here so I know most of our neighbors who own these establishments - Corona Cigars have been there at least 20 years, not to mention the great bike trail behind Peach Valley which we all love.....
Congrats, Rita! You are the only person to comment negatively on one of my videos in two years. I can tell a troll when I see one. This video is not about individual businesses. It's about the general reasons Lake Mary is attractive. Colonial Town Park (or Colonial Town Plaza as you called it) is featured in some of my other Lake Mary videos. It was built in 2003-2006, so how could the "Real Residents" of Lake Mary been going there for 25+ years? At least two of the tenants you mentioned, Liam's and Dexter's, have closed because they couldn't afford the high rents. Don Shula's (not Schula's), Ruth's Chris, and the Amstar theatre are also mentioned in my other videos. Again, this video isn't about individual businesses, but generic reasons why folks like Lake Mary. As far as the Seminole-Wekiva Trail, it IS featured in this video. An expert such as yourself should probably pay better attention.
Thank you, your new subscriber. Frank
Thank YOU, Frank, for subscribing!

Outstanding video, very informative

Information is power. Big thanks for posting. People that “predict” the future as poorly as the ones reflected in your story should work as weather people, Vegas Sports Books or in a traveling circus guessing one’s weight. Keep up the good work!
Love it. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Insurance carriers valuing properties lower than retail along with pulling out of the state will have an effect on prices short term.
What are your predictions for a vacation short term rental properties as an investment
Thanks for reaching out, Maureen. I don't deal in that arena at all, so any prediction for short-term rentals would be a blind guess. I'd better stay in my lane.😀
Hey Doug. My wife and and I are planning to move to the Orlando area next year. We currently live in North Carolina, but her parents live in Apopka and we've decided to move closer to them. We are looking at the Deer Island/Tavares area in particular. What are your thoughts on the Market in those areas? Thank you.
I'm a big fan of that whole Mt Dora/Tavares area and I really like Deer Island. Not something you're typically going to happen upon without looking for it. The market trends are following our state and local trends in terms of reduced inventory, with the one exception being median price. That has dropped 6.7% in the last year. I would attribute that to the fact the area is somewhat remote to the Orlando metro area. Not a disturbing trend.
I Run Longwood🤟🏻
You left out the part where it takes a small fortune to buy a house there.
I hear you, but Oviedo DOES have some affordable areas. It's all relative. Almost all areas seem like they take a small fortune these days.
A great video, it really captures the essence of Sweetwater Oaks
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
We are from Brasil 🇧🇷 Estamos te acompanhando. Att. Vankesh & Christina
muito obrigado!
At about the 4:48 mark you showed a new house being constructed. Why are Florida builders building wood stick / 2x4 with a press wood outside? I would think all new construction should be at least concrete block maybe even with rebar k. As for roofs I find it interesting no company has developed something other than asphalt. We wanted to retire to Florida in 2 years but I now not so sure.
That construction clip is a stock video, what we call "b-roll". The majority of homes built here now ARE concrete block.....have been for a good while. In some cases, depending on the strapping and bracing, a wood frame home may hold up better in high winds that one built out of concrete block. And vertical rebar is always used in block construction, with the size and distance determined by the local building codes. Check out this article for a good summary of block vs. frame construction in Florida: blog.icihomes.com/2010/03/19/concrete-block-vs-engineered-wood-frame/ Regarding roofing, there are materials other than asphalt and fiberglass shingles. Concrete tile, metal, even solar "shingles" are an alternative, but all come with a cost.
Fab advice Mr Packard, am on it!😊
FLORIDA, where insurance companies go to die
Also, filing small claims under $5K and hiring Lawyers to litigate against Insurance Companies thinking so long as I get a piece of my pie. So thank all those Lawyers for all this mess???!!!!?????
Moved here from California in 2017. Making plans to move out of Florida. As you made effort to mention, "not pointing fingers" Just responding to the reality. Our policy on a 1991-built home went from $1800 to $6500 this year. Our old insurer failed, the existing policies were taken up by a new insurer who set our annual premium on renewal next month to $6500. Not really worth it, to reside in this state any longer. Reason being, this is astonishingly high, and it's not going to drop. A $10,000-per-year annual premium could be one renewal away. That might sound crazy but it's 100% feasible. The new state we're looking at, we'll pay cash for a small home, and probably only carry liability. My heart goes out to less-mobile folks who have to stay here. We're in central Fl, we avoided in 2017 moving to Sarasota because the HO insurance was super high there. "We'll move to the inland, where the storm surge isn't an issue, and we'll have affordable HO insurance." Didn't work out that way! .
Sorry that happened to you, but that was your insurance company's way of dropping you. Did you shop for another policy? Unless there are multiple items on your 4 point inspection needing correction, you can find a much more inexpensive policy.
@@reallivinginorlandoflorida7335 I tried State Farm who has our 3 cars, hoping for a discount, but they said "we stopped writing new HO policies for anything built before 2002" So I renewed the cars with Progressive and that new broker scheduled me for a "Wind Mitigation/4 Point Inspection" that is set for tomorrow, in hopes of a lower premium. My 3 cars expire end of this month, my HO expires end of next month. Since I had to renew the cars, and since State Farm spiked (I'm 64yo, paying $1500 every 6 months, which was a big increase) - I thought to try a new insurance broker. If you know a company writing a HO policy with lower rates, I'd be happy to hear the name of them - Thank you!
@@Greg_Chase The wind mit and 4 point inspections are where you should start and sounds like your broker has that part handled. None of the big three (State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide) will have anything that will save you $. Your broker should have access to a number of smaller companies that will offer substantial savings. Is your house concrete block or frame? Age of roof? Type of plumbing supply lines? In what city are you located?
I absolutely enjoyed this video! It was very informative and you kept me engaged! Thank you for sharing this video 😊
Thanks for watching, Dee. Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW the City of Sanford should give you a sponsorship. I’ve been living in Seminole County my ENTIRE Adult life and I had no idea there was this much to do in Sanford.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
I may have the opportunity to the Orlando area later this year. Should I be concerned about the cost of hurricane and flood insurance? Are insurance agents leaving the Orlando area?
I haven't heard of any agents leaving the area. A lot of carriers have pulled out of Florida, however. There are still plenty of companies writing policies. Hurricanes don't affect the Orlando area like they do the coastal areas, but those of us in the interior of the state pay the price for the coastal areas, nonetheless. If you have a smart real estate agent, they'll help you avoid flood prone areas as well as homes that will cost you an arm and a leg for homeowner's insurance premiums.
Great video. Thank you for all the information. Planning to move to Florida in 2024.
Thanks for watching!
