I'll be moving to Orlando or Ocoee Florida this summer and was wondering if anyone has some advice and some insight on what its like living in the area? I'm assuming living in Ocoee would be cheaper than in Orlando? Ocoee is like 15 minutes away.

I've heard traffic is terrible. Are things like groceries more expensive than in Tennessee?I'm in Tampa and don't know Ocoee but if its like the Tampa area, you really need to look at things neighborhood by neighborhood. You can go from very bad to very good in less than half a mile. Almost all the decent neighborhoods are gated.
In general, I think cost of living is ok here but I'm on well water and keep my air conditioning up in summer. Traffic is much worse in Fl than in Tenn and I'm convinced there are more crazy people in Fl than anywhere else I've ever lived.
What made you leave??
The humidity can't be worse than the humidity in Louisiana! Luckily I won't be too close to the beach I hate sand!I was tired of sand in every part of my body, house and car. The humidity just choked me out.
My wife wanted to stay, and still holds the dream of one day moving back.
Plus, I retired from Air Force at Hurlburt. I had always told everyone that, when I retired, I was going to move so far away from the military, they'd need the Hubble Telescope to see me. Haha
