Just for the record… road widening ≠ less traffic. It’s a Bandaid that quickly unsticks itself

I grew up in DP but bought a house by Belle Isle. Tourist traffic is bad in a lot of central florida but worse around DP because of proximity to all the attractions. Belle Isle is so central and convenient and I love the vibe. Ive lived in a few areas habing been born and raised here and Belle Isle is my favorite ❤

Not everyone can handle this heat, I have been living in Florida since 2019, is super expensive and the pay is very low

Amazing, I wonder what real estate agent did the transaction man her/his life was made

Need express bus service like other cities. There should be nonstop bus between orlandoa airport to downtown orlando or one of the superstops.

Which one has better schools?

600s is crazy also traffic sucks there for delivery drivers

go home

Orlando needs to worry on their mass transfer infrastructure. They literally have three train systems. I don’t know if the sun rails considered train or light tram but whatever. And only one of them connect to the airport. And none of them go out to Port Canaveral to the cruise terminals except for the bright line and it still doesn’t go all the way out. Unless they get some more trains around there, they’re the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen other trains. Go to the theme park either. And they don’t run at night and they don’t run on the weekends. Come on your whole city is built on tourism why would you not have stuff running at night and on the weekends and to your airport and to your major theme parks. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Hey Ken, love the videos and the quality. I'm actually a videographer in Los Angeles working with an agent that wants emmulate the style of your videos. Would it be possible to have a brief chat and talk about the behind the scenes stuff? Thank you!

I would like to hear more about the Green Island Ranch project (6000 acres) near St Cloud. What's to come there, and when is construction kicking off?

What do you think about the Ocoee moratorium on new permits? Seems positive. I listened to the commissioner meeting where the moratorium passed and the Ocoee leadership was saying all the right things: walkability, good design, interconnectivity, landscape buffers....

One important idea that wasn’t fully or accurately talked about is age. We’re 52 and just bought with no issues. The important detail in being under 55 is your children. If your kids are 19 years old you can buy at I guess any age.

“Primary” is so woke lol. That’s a master! Beautiful neighborhood! Thanks for the tour!

No water??

You know what would make commuting easier? Spend that money on better public transportation like more light rail and a better bus system and take a bunch of cars off the road.

Are non maga safe in Orlando? We are not where I live in NC. Im still stuck on a 40 year dream of moving that way regardless.

The north part of I Drive is disgusting. The strip malls between Sand Lake and the Outlets need to be bulldozed and the area redeveloped. They've done a great job heading south towards the convention center (although I still miss the Mercado!) but the north is seedy.

Very informative. Thanks Ken.

All these projects are very spread out, checkout St Petersburg , great city layout, street grid easy to navigate, lots of great neighborhoods near each other, downtown very cohesive, Orlando just way to spread out, focused to much on cookie cutter suburbs

I just moved in next to the sand lake / I-4 intersection. Traffic is horrendous all the time, but I see lots of road work. Any idea when that is scheduled to finish? and if it will help relieve the congestion around here?

Ken, wondering if you’ve heard anything about Lifetime Fitness in Winter Park?

Big fan. Excellent video. Let’s hope they plant more palm trees with these developments. No more oak trees. Orlando needs to be more tropical like Tampa, Daytona or Miami. We don’t want Orlando looking like New Jersey, Missouri or Michigan.

Thanks for the update Ken. I have not seen these places going up on 192, and we were just there a week or two ago. Looking forward to finding them and checking them out. Usually we just end up going towards celebration or the disney area.

The 528 needs to be repurposed. It's a city planning nightmare.

Also lake county can used the sunrail services here that would definitely be awesome....

What really concern me is that most of the bus stops here on 192 don't have a bus shade with no seats they only have the bus sign and a bench. They need the state of the art bus shade that tell you when the next bus is coming and also it would be cool if they made the bus shelter with air conditioner as you wait for the bus.

Yes 532 going to 4 lanes will be huge! The traffic in that area is a nightmare.

Love the idea of a more cohesive thought process for downtown, nothing seems planned. Mills for example is a bustling area on the weekends, but there is no infrastructure, hardly any crosswalks or beautification. Like come on Orlando, add some trees and a bit more safety.

I do appreciate all the roads being widened but I worry about all the trees and natural areas being torn down.

They should convert I-drive to times square of the south.

Hi ken can u make a video about Siemens commercial ac units and security 😊??

The 523 widening will be lit 🔥

I just read that they ae building a sports complex , hotels 170,000square foot medical building . velencia college and apts and homes off of schofield behind the 429 , do you know if that's true and when it will be completed

What in the crap is going on with Olympus lol it appears to keep getting delayed

There’s been some activity in Olympus site the past couple of weeks

Nice video and thx for the update. What about Alafaya area? We are looking for relocation to Orlando area and seeking affordable housing. It sure about Alafaya because although it is close the MCO but I feel is too far for everything else.

So far NEOCITY is a dud for Osceola County. Locals have no idea what's going on over there and there is virtually no attempt to alleviate traffic along highway 192. There are homes being built but none in the actual NEOCITY. If you want to work in that area anticipate hours of extra driving, few new shopping opportunities and huge numbers of current residents complaining about what seems like out of control growth. The county says they are managing controlled growth but very few believe that.

Thinking of buying or selling a home in Greater Orlando? We’d love to help! Reach out at theorlandoreal.com/youtube

We are looking forward to the additional growth in the Orlando area. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, sir.

Hi Ken! Great Video! Isles of Lake Nona is now in the close out stage. I have a few remaining Homesites, Inventory homes, and the MODELS are NOW for SALE!

Great Video!

Wesley Snipes…Celebrity? What ..25 years ago..

Joe Lewis watch that name in the future/ BTW why did Joe sell his home in Isleworth Mansion?

Are the schools any good in Apopka?

This video just makes me sad. As someone who grew up in Winter Park, every time I go back home and visit my parents, another house with so much character (and not to mention a family’s memories) has been torn down for some modern looking monster that doesn’t fit with the OG neighborhood. Glorifying teardowns of perfectly good homes… it’s not what WP/Orlando is about.

will we have a live this Thursday :(

Awesome video!

To know this behemoth is a vacation home, ngl, gives me the ick. In my opinion, this isn't impressive, it's just bad taste. And no, I don't mean the IMO basic neutral decor in the common areas. To build such an excessive, dare I say gaudy, home you will won't live in full time seems more than a little wasteful and smacks of narcissism. IDC how these people got their Smaug piles of riches or what they do with it, but it does make one question the state of the American economy where we seem to have two types of people. The much bigger group is experiencing a crisis of affordability, leading to debt and not being able to save, The other type doesn't have to worry about money and for some reason thinks it is normal, admirable, and sometimes even God-approved ro make as much money as possible and block out the rest of the world who can't relate.
