Very informative 👍

I still prefer Hallandale Beach Florida more it’s a beautiful city with a growing communities and businesses and a good nightlife.❤☀️

Hey Chris, This little synopsis was quite helpful. My wife and I are thinking about moving to Orlando for our retirement vs San Diego where she is originally from. We are in VA right now. Can you DM your email for a direct talk

Amazing video, answered all my questions, thank you!

🙏🏻💐💐💐💐🙏🏻🥰🤗

Great Video!

I've been interested in moving to Winter Park; however, I'm cautious about the diversity in Florida.

As a resident of Tampa and former Orlando resident the biggest difference I notice is in the area of Aesthetics. In Orlando and most of the surrounding communities there is an emphasis on Streetscaping and Beautification. They seem to pay attention to the look and feel of a place. I suppose it's due to the tourism industry. Orlando seems to have a buzz of excitement, absent in Tampa. Orlando seems to position itself as the second most important area in FL and it might just be. Also I miss the numerous community lakeside parks in the Orlando area. All of this talk of aesthetics may seem like a petty issue, but it makes a huge difference on the overall feel of an area. Tampa on the other hand has large portions in their north, central and eastern core that are very, very depressing and dilapidated. If you have ever driven on Busch Blvd near Busch Gardens that is what I am talking about. There are miles of commercial corridors that look like that in a large area. I know Orlando has a few areas like this, but it doesn't compare in size. For Tampa folks, I guess they're used to it and are mostly apathetic. It's a shame because a lot of these areas are historic or near natural beauty and have great potential. The area near Lowry park zoo has a navigable river connected to downtown, a historical water tower near two natural springs in an area that is filled with the unhoused. I don't think that situation of grunge appearance would happen in Orlando. The leaders over here mostly don't care about quality urban design. Think of the large Eola fountain, nada in Tampa. Think of Leu Botanical Gardens, nada in Tampa. These cultural amenities are mostly absent. Even parks in South Tampa are very subpar. Most of our parks have few designed amenities, they're just haphazard. Hyde Park in south Tampa is small and nice and is a wanna be Park Ave. As far as lakes, Tampa does have many beautiful lakes but most of the land is hogged by private property so you can't enjoy them if you don't live on them. The bay is typically not walking distance for most people so that doesn't help much. Tampa's downtown is much better than Orlando, even St. Pete's downtown is better than Orlando. Downtown Tampa is where the city spends the infrastructure money and that area is good. But just be aware of the vast area in Tampa that is left behind. So downtown St.Pete does have a lot of the missing cultural amenities that Tampa lacks, but it is pretty far away from Tampa. It doesn't feel like Tampa stomping grounds. The St. Pete suburbs are older and may not be appealing, but I don't know about St. Pete as much. I think north Pinellas is better than south Pinellas. Coastal West Pasco is blah and Central growing. East Pasco is hilly in parts and booming suburbs. Other booming suburbs are Riverview and South Hillsborough county. Brandon has a southerner vibe. Something annoying here is the competition between St Pete and Tampa. St. Pete thinks their better and even wanted to change the Rays name. Orlando really just has the one major downtown so it usually the focal point as the regions living room. So Tampa has a ton of potential and missed opportunities and Orlando does a much better job of capitalizing on the history and natural resources.

Our kids went to St, Vincent’s day care… oh man… the hallway when they would run to me and my wife. They were baptized at a Catholic Church in Altamonte… I was raised Lutheran. My step son was had a bar mitzvah… just saying. Lots of better ya’ll. Pluralism and better… feedback loops and beyond.

Dharma and beyond.

Our family loves college park and Orlando.

Bradenton and Sarasota should be included in the greater TB area.

How much is this home? People can ask for anything. Watch how long this sits at this price. Good luck.

Know anything about downtown st pete, anything in Orlando like it

One day

This is so helpful, thank you!! The Phelps Park area and the Vias look amazing!

I've seen many videos on Winter Park but this is by far the best!! There is so much information packed in here! Thank you so much! Can't wait to move there next year!

Tampa Bay for sports and downtown, Orlando for amenities

You know the instrumental for the first beat in the video?

I lived at 1115 Bayshore Blvd in the 60's. My dad rented it for $350 /month. I see it was listed for $6 million. So many wonderful memories. We lived on Davis Island as well. Loved the Gasparilla ship

Excellent job not mentioning the ParkCrest building

Orlando is the best place to raise a family... I have four kids and you can't beat the schools, safety and beauty. Problem is, Orlando has sooo much to offer that 3 of my 4 kids have yet to see snow :) I Myself live in Lake Nona, before that I lived in Winter Garden and Windermere. Orlando is truly a gem

Crowded mafia shthole

I miss Disney World Animal Kingdom so much! I haven't been there since 2011 and I would like to work for them as a Zookeeper because it is beautiful there. I could also enjoy and spend time at the Swimming pool, Roller Coasters and watching the parade at Magic Kingdom. I additionally want to move to Orlando or Kissimmee Florida because I've been dreaming about this since I was a kid and I'm looking forward to it for the future!

I do too!

LOVE this home!!!

Very surprising that Hunter creek doesn’t make the list. Leaving soul less lake nona I was looking for an area my kids could walk or ride there bikes too the park. HC checks all the boxes,osprey park is within walking distance the shingle creek trail inside the community can’t find in any other community and not to mention close to Disney sea world and universal all A rated schools close to DT and the airport. When my coworkers come over they can’t believe there realtors didn’t tell them about HC they always steer them to lake Nona and winter garden. lol HC is a hidden gem 🙌

Wife and I have been considering both areas for a couple years now and while at first we were honing in on Orlando, after visiting several times to both places, all things considered we are now looking in the Tampa area in particular Pasco County. Although it was and remains a difficult decision between the two great cities.

I found Davis Island biking around Tampa trying to find where I wanted to live. Being from Southern California and call it Tampa Malibu. It reminds me of Malibu.

Awesome ad.

What Kissimmee?

were you effected by the fires?

Don't you help low-income house for seniors

Tourism sector employment in Orlando as well as percent of metro GDP should both be around 20% It sounds like you doubled it.

Hi Kris, new subscriber here. I enjoyed the content as it was very informative. Would you recommend buying right now? I may want you as my agent. Thanks

I like the explanations and map references. This is helpful!

I live in Windermere in Lake Butler Sound. Moved here in 2013.

Really great summary for anyone who's starting to look for a place in Orlando! Especially for people not from Florida.

Clermont/Montverde/Minneola is where it’s at! Lake County >Orange County.

Orlando è tanta tanta tanta tanta roba

I prefer Hallandale beach Florida beautiful city good beaches and restaurants and growing businesses and communities, and good nightlife.

Would love to know your rank of the cities/areas you have lived in.
