Unboxing Orlando, Florida: What It's Like Living in Orlando

Is Orlando all Puerto Ricans?

Is Orlando all Disney crap?

And is Interstate 4 ever going to never be under construction?

We’ll answer those questions and talk about a whole lot more than that. So grab your Mickey ears and get ready to stand in a bunch of long lines. We’re gonna unbox the city of Orlando, Florida everyone!

Aww Orlando. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood big cities in the country. If you’ve ever been to Orlando, you might remember it as being a very crowded, hot place that’s always under construction. That is true. Orlando has grown by more than 30% in the last decade alone, and there’s lots more room to keep sprawling outward. At some point soon, Orlando will have more than 300,000 people.

People move here from all over the place. It’s actually kinda rare to find someone from Orlando. You’ll get used to that if you move here, too. You’ll be like - where are you from? And they’ll be like where are you from? Many people will say New York.

50 years ago Orlando was tiny and 100 years ago this place wasn’t even on the map. Literally.

This is central Florida, so the heat is ungodly in the summer. For six months a year, it’s pleasant. Sorta.

The construction part will never end here - they’re throwing up new communities and new apartments and new buildings everywhere. And Orlando can’t build enough entertainment. You’d think the theme park capital of the world would have enough entertainment, but Orlando doesn’t think that.

And one would assume this metro area would have figured out a way to put in some reliable public transportation, but they have not yet done that, either.

Besides the growth and the heat, Orlando is actually a pretty decent place to raise a family. There’s not a lot of crime here, and it’s still pretty affordable. We’ll go into JUST how affordable a little later.

Orlando’s not for everyone. But nowhere is for everyone right?

But in order to truly get to know Orlando and to see if this is the place for you - and which part of town you should move to - we need to look at Orlando from a higher level and then drill down into each area one at a time.

This is Orlando. See, it’s not ALL theme parks and hospitality workers. Depending on what part of Orlando you’re in, it’ll be a different experience. In order to make it simple, we’re doing to break Orlando up into four areas - the north, east south and west part of the metro area. And we’re going to begin over here in west Orlando. Cause you know you mostly came here to learn about the theme parks.
