Truthfully, I was stay away from the area. Look up the crime report with the local authorities. I'm not saying it is totally bad, but there are so many other areas in Florida to live and we were told the worst place to retire is the Orlando Kissimmee area. This was from 2 local business men, that run construction companies in Florida.
Crime/poverty in Kissimmee is pretty bad. If you watch the movie The Florida Project, it’ll give you a perspective on what life is like for those who live in motels off of 192.
Orlando has plenty of wonderful and bad areas, like any city. There are some beautiful safe neighborhoods, but they often come with a higher price. And 55+ communities aren’t common.
