Hey everyone, With a population of 39,990, Oviedo is a smaller city. The median home value here is around $428,500, which is pretty steep. Median household income is $114,092, which feels pretty solid for the area. The city has invested a lot in new development. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Would love some local perspective. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I'm a HR manager and I've found I love the pace of life here. The community is solid and there's always something going on.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in North. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in government. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Southern.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The food scene is solid compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Bought a house here in 2019 and the quality of life is solid. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
