International Dr
"Busy street with lots to do and lots to be stolen from you"
International Drive is one of the best known streets in the areas. For locals like myself, it is an area to be avoided. For tourists, it is a place to flock to. With Wet ‘n’ Wild, Universal Studios and unlimited shopping and restaurants, this is a good place to visit. However, keep your car doors locked and your purse close by. This area is known by locals to have crime problems as criminals know they can steal from a tourist who will not return for the trial, therefore letting them go because of the lack of a witness. There are some nicer areas of International Drive, but I would encourage you to call the Sheriff’s Office and ask about hotels before you book your stay. Also, beware that it will take you about a half an hour to go a mile throughout most of the day.

"Busy street through the middle of town"
SR 436 is one of the main veins of Orlando. You can get from Apopka to the Airport. The road is not fun for driving as it backs up easily in certain areas during the morning and late afternoon hours. A fun fact is that if you travel at 47 miles per hour, you can go from one end to the other without hitting a red light. However, good luck managing that with the traffic and slower/faster speed limits. The road is not known to be a safe area to live near as it cuts through some of the rougher areas of town. This road can get you to shopping, dining, night life, parks and more. If you travel along it long enough, you will find something you enjoy.

"Growing area of town near large chain of beautiful lakes"
I grew up spending my summer on Big Lake Conway off of Hoffner Avenue. This area is growing, but some parts of Hoffner are nicer than others. The area through Belle Isle is beautiful with lakes on either side of the road. The homes are expensive if they are on the water, but the lots are also large for the most part. The schools are not that great, but there are viable private schools nearby. The area is about fifteen minutes from the Florida Mall and the great food surrounding it. You will be close to the attractions while maintaining your privacy.
