I got a job offer in Kissimmee, FL and I'm seriously considering the move. I'm coming from a large city. A few questions:
1. Which neighborhoods should I look at for a $1200-1900 budget?
2. How's the commute situation?
3. Is the crime as bad as the stats suggest?
4. Any hidden costs I should know about?
Thanks in advance!

For families, I'd recommend looking at Maple Heights. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 8/10.

As someone who moved here from Houston, I can confirm most of this. The friendliness of people surprised me the most.

Been here 20 years. The city has changed a lot but overall for the better.

Respectfully disagree about the cost of living assessment. In my experience, it really depends on your lifestyle.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Old Town and Maple Heights are perfectly safe.
