It's bigger now, but at one time, it was pretty close. Thanks for your comment.

You kind of have to see it in person to really appreciate it. Thanks for the comment.

I have been through countless hurricanes and one of the most frustrating things is that most of the predictions focus on the West Coast of Florida. Here in central Florida unless you're in a major flood zone or an area that's prone yo flooding you're okay. That's not to say that with enough rain you won't see flooding, it just won't be to extent that folks on the coast would see. The two biggest concerns for Polk County are power outages and falling trees. Where I live in Winter Haven the winds from Hurricane Milton are projected to top out at 40-50 mph. I can live with that. I hope that helps.

Keep checking back as I'm doing more tour videos and I have another coming out on Friday. Thanks for the comment.

@299jordan Winter Haven is still a pretty small town compared to other cities close by, so it really depends on what you're looking for. If you need help figuring out where you might find some good job opportunities, let me know, and I'll see how I can help.

Thanks for sharing!

Fair enough!

You're right, it might be easy to access but hard to travel!😀

Traffic here is not bad when compared to the Miami area.

@willr2808 Miami traffic is terrible, but so is Orlando. The bigger the city, the more problems with traffic.

You are all correct! Everything is relative to a degree. I also believe that ‘traffic’ is inversely proportional to age-the older you get, the worse traffic is EVERYWHERE!

@@vincereina4595 I’ve driven both. Monday through Friday, Orlando is nowhere near as bad as Miami. I-4 has much better flow in comparison to Miami.

@hipopotamus2625 that's fantastic but when are you going to move here? Lol.

Hey John, here is a sightseeing tour of the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes: www.livingwatercruises.com/explore-our-tours. If you're looking for a fishing guide text me at 863-271-8700 and I'll give you a couple of names.

@@yourmoveflorida Thanks Vince. 👍🏻.

What's your take on haines city ? Family of 3 over here looking to "possibly" move there but worried about "safety...

@@solg1391 Haines City is pretty small and quiet. Like most cities there are places to stay away from but you'll see them a mile away and know where they are. We have an excellent sheriff and sheriff's department. If you have a specific concern or want to get crime data call the non-emergency number to the sheriff's dept and ask. They will be happy to help you. Here is the number 863-236-3900

@@yourmoveflorida We’ve just got back from a wonderful 2 week holiday on Southern Dunes, Haines City. Felt very safe although we didn’t do much walking around the immediate area, but did drive to the lakes and surrounding areas and felt completely safe.

I think it's a great place for families. Especially the area around Legoland.

Thanks for connecting with me Jasmine. You can call or text me at 863-271-8700 and we can discuss the best way to get you here.

I feel your pain but there's no stopping progress. Lol.

Any time!

I moved here from Lakeland and I love it here. Peaceful and quiet with some of the best Bass fishing around.

It really is!

You are so right. I'm always looking at where I stand so they don't swarm up my shoe and bite the crap out of me.

@@yourmoveflorida that's for sure

Can you make a video about Bartow pros & cons 😊

I'm actually working on that now. Thanks.

Your right but it's not just here it's everywhere.

I agree, home prices are insane but they are leveling off some from 2020. There just aren't enough homes coming on the market or being built to bring the prices down.

I just checked and audio is fine.

Full? Lived next door to a small empty lot for 25 years - It now has a home 7 feet from me!!! - There went the charm of this established 50's neighborhood. Wish city/county planners would consider how tightly they want people to live. Are we sardines?

Thanks
