I live in Dr. Phillips - been in this area/windermere since 2007. Great location but can’t wait to leave - WAAAAYYY too many people now and the traffic is just absurd and it’s not slowing down. Great video!

[@ChillWill-q5x]

Same problem in every major town and city in Florida, it's a mess.

[@KnightFel]

@@ChillWill-q5x not in many of them but I get what you’re saying. Dr. Phillips/Windermere is way more expensive than most. Not worth it, unless you’re type A lol

[@JazzyLnae]

I live in Dr Phillips. Its a great central location. Love it.

[@kenpozek]

Such a great spot! Love the phone booth photo ☎️

[@BrokeBoyBeck]

Here at UCF we have a lot of buildings named after the Phillips Family. The family still donates millions to our medical school and athletics. You will see his name all around campus!

[@kenpozek]

Amazing that the family and charity still have that much impact after all of these years!

[@BrokeBoyBeck]

@@kenpozek I love your videos! List of Buildings Dr. Phillips Academic Commons Howard Phillips Hall Dr. P. Philips School of Real Estate (In UCF College of Business) Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion (our new nursing school)

[@kenpozek]

@BrokeBoyBeck now I feel like I need to get a building named after me lol. Thanks for watching!

[@sajayr9606]

Doctor Phillips is for sure the best area to be in Orlando.

[@kenpozek]

What’s your favorite part about it?

[@alex_the_great6951]

Winter park

[@bobbieking8210]

Hideaway. Bar and menu bar

[@dankernuggets7]

I like living here but traffic is HORRIBLE at the turkey lake and Sand Lake intersection a lot of the time.

[@kenpozek]

Totally agree. I hope the new offramp at Darryl Carter and change up at Sand Lake and I4 help out.

We just bought a second home in Doc Philips to be closer to adult children in Florida. It's convenient, with a lot of places to eat, shop, close to theme parks, .... I like the YMCA there too. Some of the developments are a bit older, but the lots tend to be bigger (though some have septic). We looked at Windermere (too far west), Maitland (houses too old, with low ceilings) and Winter Park (too expensive for a second home). The location is very convenient, but if you work in downtown Orlando, you might want to look at Maitland and Winter Park as they are a bit more convenient to downtown Orlando, and you might want to look into the Sun Rail train. Winter Park has a charming downtown, but I think I would quickly bore of it. Besides, we prefer ethnic food in cheaper locations.

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 ❤

[@1000tomandben]

Been living here for 3 years off of Wallace Road. Location, location, location, but paying for it dearly😎

[@CommunityWarriorsRE]

Another great video! Followed you as we started our YT Journey. What originally started as us watching for inspiration, turned into getting some great education of your city. At this point, we know nearly as much about Orlando as we know about Houston 😅

[@kenpozek]

🫡thanks for tuning in!

[@wiggydebates3944]

I've been waiting for this one! WTG!

[@kenpozek]

Thanks Wiggy!

My wife and I and our 2 kids moved from Dubai (Dubai Marina area) to a home in the Ruby Lakes sub division in Dr. Phillips last year and unfortunately our lease is up and the owner sold the home so we are not able to renew it and our 2 kids are going to a private school in Windermere so we have been looking for the last month to find another home under $5k per month to rent and man... there is very little available in this area sadly... I feel like we got totally spoiled by how incredible the Dr. Phillips area is and now when we look anywhere else nothing measures up to it lol 😅 Windermere is nice and so is Winter Garden area but the location of Dr Phillips is truly unbeatable!

[@VictoriaWang-realestates]

Oh my god, I am living in Ruby lake too. Sorry to see you go.

[@kenpozek]

Such little availability for sure! Ruby lake is such a great spot too.

[@buildingAbiz]

@@VictoriaWang-realestates Oh wow! Yeah we are too ;-(

[@Hisma01]

whats up ruby lake fam! Feel lucky to live in such a great neighborhood. Dr Phillips is just about built out.

[@buildingAbiz]

@VictoriaWang-realestates and @Hisma01 wow we just got super lucky! The same day I wrote this post I found the exact same floor plan of the home we are currently renting came up on the market on the Ruby lake view side and we jumped on it the same day 🥳 So thankfully we will still be living in Ruby Lakes now 🥰 I am so happy 😁

[@lroberts689]

Another great one! So… what is the story (price point) with those pink 90’s style townhomes that I think back to waterfront? I could do some amazing design renovations for one and love the little tucked away community with high ceilings and lots of windows and light.

[@KingJoseVLOGS]

love the editing & the production of this video 🙌🏼

[@mandysimmons2769]

I'm in Tallahassee but I would not mind having a winter home down there. Just need the right six numbers. LOL.

[@robertwalker9670]

We are thinking of looking there in Dr. Phillips or Windermere

[@kenpozek]

Two great choices

[@merianne]

You’re finally in my neighborhood! Love Dr Phillips. I think you forgot to mention it has one of the best YMCAs in Florida!

[@kenpozek]

@@merianne Oh 100% there's so much to offer in DP. Hard to fit it all into one video. Glad you're still loving it :)

[@brandondoggett4538]

⁠​⁠@@merianneI always pass by the YMCA😂 it’s a landmark for me

[@raphaelkhan8704]

How do the schools compare between dr Phillips and Windermere ?

[@pipito113]

Ken thanks for your advices, which is the best places to live with people that we can only afford new houses until low $400K. Thank you

[@karinaoliveira3988]

Hi Ken, I hope all is well. I have been following you for the past 2 years and I like your content. I already have a realtor and I am interested in a property you are listing!!!! The one in winter garden! Anyways I hope we can make a deal together! 😊

[@littlekittyh7944]

Is Dr Philips traffic bad? For 1.7 million budget, do you recommend Dr Philips or winter park? Want some non chain restaurants and quietness

[@kenpozek]

Sandlake traffic is pretty rough. Hopefully that changes eventually with the new offramp and extra lanes, but I would say that Dr Phillips and Winter Park have similar traffic. Depends what you after. Winter Park has slightly more cachet, and non-chain restaurants. I feel like Dr Phillips has a better location, but that’s just my daily life/drive Let us know if we can help!

[@uilliamunknown4844]

I miss Orlando, I regret moving to California

[@kenpozek]

We miss you too

[@Reneelynncreates]

We’re here in San Clemente, Ca and thinking of moving to the Orlando area.. we’ve lived all over the country, from the east coast .. lots of research happening.

[@abc2662]

Yes, it is!!!

[@gleeberger8966]

I'm thinking of moving to Orlando, but I was wondering what is the East Indian population there? Thanks

[@Yo__Nathan]

Christini’s Ristorante Italiano in Dr. Phillips is divine. Pricy, but worth every single cent for me.

[@kenpozek]

Ooooo North Italia is also 🔥🔥

[@Yo__Nathan]

@@kenpozek😮 Added to my list! Thanks for the recommendation, Ken.

[@ketojoe0155]

I mean if you can afford it

[@GavCeylon]

I live in DP, sad there is hardly any Mom and pop restaurant in the area. All over taken by chain restaurants 😔 However great area to raise your children. Love the DP YMCA

[@AL-pe9kg]

He wasn’t a citrus farmer. He was a real doctor from NY

Orlando, where you can knock out your grocery shopping and do molly with pillow-fighting coeds without moving your car.

[@tsmatthx2]

Dr Phillips is a person not place

[@Patrick-yh5yd]

So many rich yankee,s coming to Florida!!! Lets hope they keep politics back up north.

[@jonihautamaki1853]

I don't care for it. it's in the middle of the theme parks, traffic is horrible. Touresty bars and restaurants, not a "neighborhood" vibe.

[@raddavis2745]

$985k for a spec home?? That’s what you call Bidenomics People. Trump 2024

[@jbd2462]

So if Trump wins house prices drop? How does that happen?

[@SirPiglet2020]

Bidenomics has nothing to do with it. Blame the people overpaying for these houses. Home values keep going up because people are willing to pay for them. And it seems to be a particular generation that is doing the buying. I’d like to see a breakdown of home sales / price per age range.

[@raddavis2745]

@@jbd2462let me explain economics 101 to you. Biden = record inflation, which causes the materials used to build homes to be sky high. That in turn causes home prices to substantially increase. You’d be lying if you think Biden can curb inflation better than Trump can. 😂😂😂

[@Timcdoe]

Inflation started in 2020, that is what happens pump seven trillion dollars into a good economy. Even Desantis says Trump set the stage. Not exactly the smartest move to bring the person back who set the stage.

[@raddavis2745]

@@Timcdoe guess you think everything Midget Desantis says is the gospel?? Haha do you homework and you’ll that the true cause of inflation is the multi Trillions printed by the dementia ridden Biden Admin!! 😂😂😂
