So DH is active duty military and will be retiring in 3 years (when DD15 graduates high school). She plans on attending college in California and we plan on moving to Florida. DH has a degree in IT, so he will be looking for a job in the Orlando vicinity and I will be looking for something in HR. We have been scouting various communities in the Orlando area and have settled (for now) on Winter Garden. We love the look of the community and the shopping areas. We will be renting the first year and then possibly buy after.
Can anyone give me any advice on living in Winter Garden? When we move, he will be 52 and I will be 47, so we are not really into clubs or heavy night life. We love outdoor dining, "Margaritaville" style bars, laid back lifestyle. We are both divers and love to be outside biking, hiking, beaching, etc. Of course, we are both Disney fanatics and would love to be able to head to Epcot or Disney Springs for dinner and drinks whenever we feel like it. We live in a relatively small town now (Hershey, PA) and enjoy the peacefulness, but we also love having "things" close by- like sporting events, museums, shopping, etc and regularly travel to NYC, Philly and DC for the excitement- it would be great to have all those things closer than 3 hours away!
Any info or advice you can give me about Winter Garden would be greatly appreciated!!
Forgot to add- can someone let me know the best parts of Winter Garden to live in? Also, any specific apartment complexes would be great.
