Random thought, Just moved here 1 months ago and Crime rate is something to consider -Ocoee sits at 313.4 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Anyone in a similar situation?

Bought a house here in 2023 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from LA about 6 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
Cons that are real:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are reasonable, gas is decent.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
