Is it just me or does anyone else agree that the city of Orlando is just depressing. I was considering a move there after having been to the world countless times, but I could not find a section of that town that I liked. Even the downtown area is a little bland. Any thoughts?

I love the Orlando area and there are LOTS of places that are really nice. Sure, maybe not in the city itself, but there are places. MetroWest is actually in Orlando and isn't bad at all. Also, go to Windermere, Celebration, Reunion, Independence and you'll know that there are actually some good places there. :wave:

Let me rephrase so its a positive statement:
kiawahman, do you think that maybe you have experienced something in your past that would have caused you to have a negative impression of the fine city of Orlando? Maybe something that could have skewed your "attitude" towards it?
Ok, CEO, hopefully this makes you happy and gives you a warm fuzzy feeling.....

:lol: I think the OP was just not looking in the right places since there are so many places to visit there. Sure, not everything is pretty, but a lot of it is.

I moved to the Orlando area just this week. I don't live in "Orlando" but I live in the metro area. I understand where you come off as saying you don't like it, but I like it.
There's a lot to do here besides the parks, they may not seem great to you or others, but I like them, and so do a lot more people.
I say don't knock a city or a place until you've lived there. Then you can say if it sucks or not. Visiting doesn't count.

The Orlando Area has a very high crime rate:
The Relocation Crime Lab Index gives the city's crime rate relative to the national average of all the cities in our database. A value of 100 means that the city is exactly average. A value of 200 means that the city has twice the crime rate as the average city. A value of 50 means that the city has half the crime rate of the average city. Orlando has a Relocation Crime Lab Index of 313 which is a higher crime rate than the national average.

Woody, post the crime rate for NYC, Los Angeles, and Chicago.. Let's be fair.. Big cities will always have a higher crime rate than a smaller city... And Orlando isn't that small...

I have in-laws scattered all about the area. I assure you there are some VERY nice neighborhoods.
As to the specifics of downtown, it ain't New York, but so what?
