I don't think so.  Orlando is just one big Plastic-land.  What about Gainesville or Tallahassee or some other towns?  Why Orlando?

A lot of people are moving out of Florida, and their property values are going down, or staying stagnant because of that fact. You would get a good deal on a property right now. Will it go up in value? I would say 'yes', because a few years without a hurricane, and people forget. Then they want to live in a nice climate. \n\nBuy why Hollywood, Florida? The big bucks are going to be in downtown Los Angeles. Buy a condo there. Even the stars are snapping them up, because there's no where else to go out there, except up. (condo up, I mean)

get ahead of the chamber of commerce in Orlando...\n\nAlso check with local community colleges to see if they have information and/or training

South Florida is a Wonderful place to visit.. and a very nice place to live. But it's a horrible place to work.\nCrookedness abounds and the rich get richer and the poor get.... well you know all that I'm sure.\n\nWith that in mind:\n\nI'll also venture to tell you something you already know: In I.T. it's not what you know that gets you in the door.. it's who you know. Network off of you friends.. people that KNOW how good you are. Or take a few tiny jobs... Help out the real-estate guy that's transitioning his office over to wireless... you'd be surprised where those leads can take you.\n\nLast but not least... Terremark (the NAP of the America's) has some openings this week. Your background will need to be squeaky clean... The United States Military own about half of the whole building.\n\nwww.terramark.com

Asheville is a fantastic place to live. Between the kindness of the community to the beauty of the mountains, there are more Pros than Cons. Downtown is very urban, with amazing galleries and eateries. Outside the city you have the best sightseeing, biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing. Property values are increasing at a steady rate. If you dont buy in town, Black Mountain and Weaverville are other excellent spots.

It depends on what kind of lifestyle and temperature you like.  \n\nOrlando is very touristy, so there's a lot of traffic and inconvienance in driving around.  The weather there is generally moderate in the evenings, and warm to hot during the days.  It's cooler in the winter months.  Because it's mostly students, tourists, and Disney employees, it's not the most pleasant place to live.\n\nSt. Augustine is great because it has lots of historical sites and quaint areas to live.  The weather is much cooler there than in Orlando.  It is very laid back, and the people are very nice.  I think there is a major college in Jacksonville, and there is Flager College in St. Augustine.  Housing is much cheaper than South Florida.\n\nBoca Raton is one of the better places to live, because it has shopping, area attractions, and is generally a beautiful place.  Apartments range from $700+ for a 1 bedroom.  FAU is the area college here, as well as a community college.\n\nFort Lauderdale is cool because it has everything you want from a big city in terms of shopping, beaches, and downtown nightlife.  It's pretty much warm and humid all year round, and let's not forget the hurricanes!  Apartments are typically $900+ for a 1 bedroom.  There is an FAU campus and a community college.  There are also private art schools.\n\nMiami is very congested in general.  It's got really cool beaches and shopping, but it's a b*tch to get around.  Apartment prices vary, depending on the area.  Some areas of Miami are really, um, scary.  The nicer areas get very pricey to live.  Miami has several colleges.\n\nBest of luck!

What and where is KANSAS ??\n\nARIZONA seems to be one of the fastest-growing places anymore.  Cost of living is less, although not a whole lot less (I'm told) than CALIFORNIA.  Nice weather and LOTS OF JOBS, I think.\n\nIf your family's there, I would go home and take a breather.\nAlso, if your parents are getting older, it would a VERY GOOD IDEA TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM BEFORE THEY GET MUCH OLDER -- you won't EVER REGRET THAT DECISION !!

You couldn't ask for a better place to live. I'm a native of Charlotte and lived in the Myers Park area of the city. It has grown by leaps and bounds in the past ten years. You will find a wide range of neighborhoods to live in. Many of our older ones are being upgrated and are rather pricey, but you can find just as nice neighborhoods in most any part of Charlotte. My hubby and I, we're retired, live in the south of Charlotte in Matthews and love our area. The shopping is terrific and there are many great places to eat. We are also about 1 1/2 hours from the mountains, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and are about 5 hours from some of the most beautiful beaches to visit. The schools vary from excellent to fair, depending on where you decide to live. Get a good real estate agent and tell him/her what you are looking for. I recommend Allen Tate Realtors, I think they are the best. Good luck and I hope you decide to move here, you won't be sorry.

Low end in Orlando seems to be around $65,000 (which seems shockingly low to someone in the DC area) but you would have to check with a realtor in your area to see what, if anything, you can buy for $40,000.

Water slide theme park like the Atlantis in the Bahamas,get the kids and the parents will follow.Like the parents and kids going to separate summer camps together.Have a package that they can be separated for a couple of days and together for a couple before going back home.\nIf you're hiring,I'm a carpenter/home builder that would definitely relocate there.

No state taxes, crime is around average, hurricane's usually hit polk county which is where lakeland is.  Nope, homes in lakeland are expensive.  A thousand to 1200 is only possible if you put down a good down payment.  \nI live not too far from Lakeland and remember when homes were reasonable, under a hundred thousand, now its very inflated and not worth the money.\n\nSan Antonio Texas and cities around there still have homes under a hundred thousand.  Georgia and Alabama are reasonable in some areas too.  Florida has become ridiculous over the past 2 years.

I live about 45 minutes from Louisville, but I go there often to see my aunt and my best friend. I actually lived with my aunt for 3 months while I was attending UofL (go Cards!). It's a beautiful city and *most* people are friendly. Traffic can be a little rough especially on the expressway in rush hour. I wouldn't live there again, but that's just because I love my small town and the pace of life here. It's much faster in Louisville. But other than the big city atmosphere I love it.

If you are a teenager, you are better follow your family since you don't have the $$ to live by yourself. Once you are ready to earn enough money to be independent, then you can always move back to FL. However, if you are a young adult earning ENOUGH money and be independent, talk to your family how you feel and you can stay behind. Will you miss your family if you don't see them as often?

I am from Nashville and have raised three children here. The cost of living is not bad and there are jobs everywhere. Kentucky however has a very high unemployment rate.Unless you are a farmer I would suggest Tennessee.
