5 Things We HATE About Orlando

We Moved to Orlando five years ago. Watch this video to find out the 5 things we hate about Orlando - See What you're missing if you are thinking about moving to Orlando.
What's it like living in Orlando? First, it's the MOST Visited City in America, with over 75 million tourists in 2019, and most of them come for theme parks and resorts like Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld. Tropical temperatures here get really hot and humid in the Summer. While it's not the largest city in Florida, along with Jacksonville, Tampa, and other secluded vacation towns, it's one of the best cities to live in America. Many people are moving here from New York, Chicago, Texas, and California, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. If the Sunshine State is cheap with great beaches and weather, why shouldn't you live in Orlando, FL?
Despite these 5 reason we hate about Orlando, we love living here.
If you're looking to move to the Orlando area, We would love to be a resource. We have many families just like yours moving to Orlando.

By far the best review Ive seen about the cons of living in Orlando

[@teamcollinshomes]

Thank you

[@e.p.6611]

I’m from NYC and Orlando still sounds. Like a dream even after that list 😅

[@teamcollinshomes]

We love Orlando.

[@e.p.6611]

@@teamcollinshomes I do too. Very excited to be visiting soon 😊

[@gigs2riches]

I have been in Tampa for the last 2 years after leaving Atlanta. I work remotely, and traffic is bad in every city I've lived...EPASS is essential y'all. Moving there next year. I lived in Orlando back in 2002 but things were different then. Orlando has more options and events for people of color. We don't even have an R&B station in Tampa...smh

[@teamcollinshomes]

We Love Orlando. When you are ready to move back reach out to us we would love to help you.

Good job with this video. Traffic seems same as Dallas. Good luck with your channel. 🍀

[@nelsonocasio2462]

I agree with the traffic going into the City of Orlando, but I love my hood in Horizon West. As for the Weather I still prefer it better than Westchester NY weather.

[@teamcollinshomes]

We had a really hard time trying to find things we didn't like, we love Orlando and I'm from Philly, I definitely prefer Orlando weather too. We live in Hunterscreek area but Horizon West is great. make sure you check out Our other video 5 reason we moved to Orlando.

horizon west is a nice new area but its so far from civilization lollike(sea worldarea)

[@gigs2riches]

An hour to the beach ain't nothin...LOL - It takes that long to go 3 exits in Atlanta on some days - Now yall can jump on that Brightline to SOFLO soon.

[@keonandbrionne]

I love this video! Moving from Atlanta to orlando even with your cons Im not seeing it as cons. The traffic, the beach, there is not a beach closer than 4.5-5 hours of atlanta, we have tolls here in atlanta. Orlando is giving close to everything :) compared to where we are coming from. Great video!

[@jrodriguez6888]

Most of these are my favorite reasons lol I come from PR and traffic here is nothing! I love that I don't live by the beach but we're still close. I never really worry when there's a hurricane because i don't live by the beach. I appreciate that there are a million ways to get to places so you can avoid traffic and tolls. More than anything i avoid I4. That one i hate. I love that they stop serving alcohol after 2am. I absolutely love the weather. I've lived with heat all year long in PR and at least here it's cool during winter.

[@jenniferh1416]

I plan my day and errands by the traffic patterns and avoid I-4 as much as possible. The recent discount for frequent users of tolls has helped commuters. I've lived in the humid parts of the South most of my life. At least around Orlando there's a bit of a breeze compared to where we used to live. The winter weather lasts a few weeks, is WONDERFUL IMO, but it's not long enough.

[@melanatedc6953]

I grew up in Orlando and I have to agree with 4 first reasons. The last one I agree but not for the same reasons. I prefer the winter instead of the muggy heat and rain everyday in the summer. I moved to Texas in 2014, I am not a fan of the ice/snow storms but I don’t mind the rest. I live in central Texas now and the town I live is small and the traffic is chefs kiss!

[@kristenwilliams9601]

I totally agree about winter in central Florida!! For reference, my husband and I are from New Hampshire and when we visited Kissimmee in January, we were freezing our butts off 😂 I’m talking winter coats and gloves!

[@teamcollinshomes]

Lol, I know exactly what you mean. Fall is my favorite time.

[@lordfubar1]

Orlando is largely controlled by "The Mouse House", sadly. I live about 35 miles away from Orlando, but have been there many times for anything except for the theme parks. I much rather take extra time getting to a beach, and be more protected from hurricanes when they hit offshore. I hate the cold weather too, I love the deep south ya all. I could have the A/C on at home, but don't. Far better to embrace the heat and humidity, so when you go outside it isn't too bad. I do like store's A/C after locking up my e-bike. Then I get that blast of heat coming out. Oh well, I can live with it just fine.

[@housemusicdancesession]

WOW!! I don't hear anything that bad here!! Traffic!! There are so many other paces in America where traffic is awful, that's common. As for managing your time to get to places, that's common sense. I've been traveling to Orlando since 1995 just about every year. I understand the traffic situation VERY WELL. TOLLS!!! GASS!!! Common, I live in NYC/NJ there is not place that is worse. Parties!! Not important. WEATHER!! Yes, the rain storms and thunder storms, particularly in June and JULY, are insane. They usually come around noon, last for maybe 20-40 minutes, then the sun is back out and the Heat is back on. You can get soaked in a rai storm, but as soon as the sun comes back out, you dry-off in minutes. I live in the NY/NJ area, but Orlando is home away from home.

[@teamcollinshomes]

You're right we really had a hard time coming up with thing we didn't like about Orlando we love Orlando. Make sure you check out the 5 reason we moved to Orlando here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYetqJijf7KaetE Thank you for your comment.

[@mortsims]

traffic and crime are the 2 worst. i use to go to lakeland and watch the tigers every spring. but i will not drive on 4 anymore.

[@poker2663]

Great honest video. My son lives there and is going to school. I think Orlando is ok but it gets a little boring.

[@CocoKaynn]

I grew up there and left as soon as I was 18. Growing up there was so boring

[@sxytravler]

I have, and they're bad too too. Lol

[@Hestia134]

I have a playlist called Orlando living, me and my partner want to move to Florida his choice is Jacksonville and mines is Orlando 🍊 I’m trying to gather as much details about pros and cons as much as possible before we make our big transition.

[@RichardCasey1967]

I lived in Orlando all of the 90's and traffic was horrific then. The city talked about light rail for years but never did anything about. Hugh mistake. I worked about 17 miles away from the house it was an easy hour in traffic. They need light rail bad. There's no escaping it either even the back roads are clogged.

[@KaonashiJP]

I'm surprised the monorail idea didn't catch on in metro Orlando, like in Miami, it would've definitely helped the area there grow and expand.

[@teamcollinshomes]

This is so true, we always laugh at that 6 miles away takes at least 30 min.

[@teamcollinshomes]

@@KaonashiJP We do have the Brightline train coming this month it will go from Orlando to Miami.

[@lionedheart]

@@teamcollinshomes why Orlando to Miami? people aren’t traveling there for work. it’s far. I guess they’re putting that first for the tourists..

[@kc-zf1jp]

I moved to Florida due to my wife job relocation. Which meant i had to leave my job behind. A job where i was doing good. We came from Savannah Georgia. We've been in Altamonte Springs Florida for almost a year and a half. I found work, but was laid off after 6months and had to receive unemployment benefits because my manager didn't have another account available for me. Been unemployed since. I've been submitting my resume daily since, no luck. I love the beauty and convenience in my area. But there's a cloud of doubt over my head here as a black man seeking work. For that reason, i don't like it here. My wife is still doing well with her job and is supporting me through this. But its frustrating trying to find employment in my field. Ive had two interviews recently with Hispanic hiring managers that i feel doesn't want to hire black people. My first time being in this environment. Fl is already deemed a racist state and can feel it through the things i love here

[@TheAdultContemporaryMusicCh]

In a time when the economy across the board in the whole US was at it's best early 90's. When most infrastructure was brand new and clean. Especially Fl, Orlando always sucked. I was living in South Fla at time near Stuart. And we got some some great radio stations from Orlando that I liked. WOMX Mix 105, 98.9 WMMO, WWLV Love 94.5 Daytona, Magic 107.7, Sunny 101.1 WSTF from Cocoa Bch/ Space Coast, All 5 because of the Cent Fla radio towers all being 100kw at at least 1600 ft boomed into Stu. And because its flat as a pancake except NW going toward Ocala. In Orl proper you got 4 more stations. You get Tampa at time W-101 WUSA, Mix 95.7 , NW you get 98.5KTK, and used to be Ocala's 93.7 WMMZ Z-93. Before they blew it up and changed to country in 1994. How do I know? I was supposed to be their evening jock. Until they fired everyone incl my future boss. All 9 of these stations were Adult Contemp and Hot Ac stations. Which was rare to have so many in any radio US market. Only SF, Pitt because they are both on hills, and Chicago had so many. So spent a week up there about 100 miles nw of me by Stuart. Check out the area see if I wanted to try it out. It was a huge disappointment. Outside the Orange Blossom Trail, which kind of reminded me of Dade- NW 2nd Av between Palmetto and Broward line back then. 167th St and 215. Poverty, and blight in Orlando never were camouflaged. It was the 1st Fl city that scared the hell out of me. Even Overtown Miami's worst hood was not as scary looking. Liberty City was only area that reminded me of Orlando. I don't know if Disney and industry that moved in since 90's has helped. Or made it worse. But you couldn't pay $1 mil to ever live in O. I could always say same about St Pete, Ft Myers, Sarasota, Ocala, Gainesville, Daytona, Titusville, Tally, and most of Jax as well. Though when in radio I survived 6 mos living off Dunn @95, not far from Jax Intl. Back then Tampa was not good, I heard its improved. West Palm was mostly hood, so was/is Ft L, Miami anything outside downtown was crap. Especially whole NW anything. But even NE was very seedy esp by Biscay, US 1 all the way up to NMB.

[@lionedheart]

can you please make a video on crime rates, bad neighborhoods to stay away from, process of gun owner ship, is it safe to be a taxi driver there, info hurricane season Orlando based etc. thanks if you do

[@teamcollinshomes]

Unfortunately, my license does not allow me to make comment about crime rate and bad neighborhoods, it goes against the Fair Housing act and could be considered steering. We can do and will do a video on hurricane season.

[@lionedheart]

@@teamcollinshomes Have someone else do the video who doesn’t have a license under a different name on KZbin. It’s all good ill look it up im moving to Orlando for College. Its a temporary move. Will be out there for 2 years and then moving to Dallas, Texas to get my Masters. My permanent stay will be Austin, Texas.

[@gloriahansen854]

Search city demographics and sheriff depot's weekly or monthly public 'police blotter' - if they do it, it's a list of all recent crimes, think by zip code. Downtown areas, Baldwin Park & others are fairly safe & college oriented. Ask your school too.

[@alanjohnson1204]

Wellllll…. So long as you don’t have anything actually important to complain about. People are just amazing. I’ve lived here my entire life, closing in on 60 years, and have seen all the growth (and destruction). If you are complaining about the traffic, maybe you should consider alternative routes and learn which ones work better at what times. Toll roads exist in all major cities, get that Epass. It will also work with toll road systems in other states. Way back, when they were just starting to work on the express lanes for I-4, I was against them. Then I used the express lane up in Atlanta to bypass about twelve miles of traffic that was barely moving. Best twelve bucks I spent during the whole trip. Getting to the beaches, no problem if you don’t wait till the middle of the day to go. Got no advice about nightlife, never been into clubbing. And the weather, well something about all that concrete and asphalt that I’ve noticed over the years is that the more of it you have the more mugginess you get after it rains. I don’t like it either.

[@stormymonday2k194]

Sounds like Atlanta. But Atlanta is about an hour away from Atlanta.

[@discobee7097]

Why did they not mention the hot summers in South Fla.😮😮

[@teamcollinshomes]

It's just as hot in Orlando in the summer.

[@PastarocketS-sb7nk]

Are you for real? The weather? WTF? I was born in Ft. Lauderdale and have lived there and Miami. It's hot, humid, and rainy starting in April/May, continuing until the end of hurricane 🌀 season. As a matter of fact, most of Florida is that way.

[@teamcollinshomes]

We appreciate you watching our video. Thank you! I would love to respond but I don't get what you're saying, are you asking a question? I agree rainy season, Hot Humid until the end of hurricane season. Can you elaborate? Lets talk.

[@PastarocketS-sb7nk]

@teamcollinshomes I'm commenting on one of the things that you say you hate about Orlando, the weather. The weather in Orlando is pretty much the same as all of South Florida, except for the winter time. Even when it does get cold, it doesn't stay that way for long. The only people who I can see you deterring from moving to Orlando because of a few days of cold are people from Miami. Anybody from anywhere else in the country would love to have only a few days of cold during the winter. Traffic? Now I hear ya, but lots of places have bad traffic. Have you ever been to L.A., Houston, New York, or Chicago? Traffic, traffic, and more traffic. Overall, I think YOUR five reasons are weak. You should have titled your video differently and gone about it another way.

[@teamcollinshomes]

@@PastarocketS-sb7nk Ah, I see. We are not trying to deter anyone from moving to Orlando, We love Orlando and we sell real estate for a living. It was hard coming up with things we didn't like. The point of the video is to give someone who has never been to Florida or Orlando and idea of what it is like from our point of view. Take a look at our other video and you will see some of the things we talk about in this video we love in the other video. here's the link. "5 things we Love about Orlando" kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYetqJijf7KaetE I also challenge you to make your own video from your point of view of the things you love and hate about Orlando and Florida. As far as Traffic yes I have been to all of the places you named except Houston and I agree they all have bad traffic too. This video was not to compare them with Orlando. Again thank you for watching and commenting your engagement means alot to us. Btw not every likes the heat or there would be no one living in places like Alaska, Washington, Colorado and the many other cold states.
