What part of Orlando Florida is the worst to live in and why?|111484

I have heard Orlando Florida outside the Resorts and Theme Parks is a bad place to live, but where and why?

You are severely mistaken, its actually the other way around, anywhere near the theme parks and tourist areas is generally not a good place to live, locals do not live near in the tourist areas. The best places to live in Orlando are either the northern suburbs like Winter Park, Maitland, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, and Oviedo, or certain parts of the city like Baldwin Park, Avalon Park, Waterford Lakes, College Park, Hunters Creek, and Dr. Phillips.

These are the BAD areas of Orlando you should stay away from:
- Pine Hills
- Parramore/West Downtown
- Orange Blossom Trail
- Kissimee
- International Drive/Tourist Areas (Crowded, Fantasy World, Tourist Traps)

Good luck.

Shhhh.. everyone_s worried about their property values.
Orlando is rated #6 in the most dangerous US cities by Forbes based on violent crime statistics.
The worst ghetto areas are Parramore and Pine Hills, but there_s lots of pockets in Orlando that I_m sure you wouldn_t like.

We have no more _bad areas_ than any other metro area of this size. There are plenty of nice areas to live too.

I would say that Pine Hills is the worst of the larger neighborhoods though. It_s a poor minority area, it_s got all types of crime.

Pine Hills and Parramore are the worst parts of town to live in.

The reason people say to avoid the areas near the parks is because traffic and crime is worse in those areas.

Winter Garden, Windermere and Dr Phillips are nice areas not far from the theme parks.

Not true. I_d say at least half of Orlando is good. Look out for Pine Hills are aka Crime Hills though. lol
