These are the absolute WORST HOODS in ORLANDO, FLORIDA 💯 NO TOURIST CRAP STR8 HOODS in the 407 the real streets! 2022, UPDATED video not some statistical crap you find with ONLINE LIST.
I'm a white girl. I would walk down Paramore often when I was taking deliveries from work. I never had a problem and the people were awesome. They've done a lot of improvements out there since the soccer stadium's been built
hey i used to live in orlando and all those hoods he talking about it aint like that your stats is crap trust me bro back in the days it was the place to be i used to walk through paramore night and day i also lived on mercy drive in the palms i loved it also the bean pokin bean that is yall know what im talking i never had a bad time there i loved my time living their with the exception of oakridge and sanford i have lived in all those hoods and my daughter grew up their so its not all that bad at all shout out to all the older heads from back in the day keep ya head up do you be safe
None of those areas are that bad. If you go into any area looking for trouble you will get it. I worked in a lot of those areas cause my job had work to do in a lot of those areas I never had any problems with anybody out there. Shouts out to all of my peoples in Orange County, APK, Pine Hills, Rosemont, West 50, Winter Garden, Mercy Dr., SilverStar, Texas ave, Ivey Lane, Tangelo Park, Malibu, Rio Grande, Parramore, Richmond Heights, Seminole County Sanford, Altamonte, Longwood, Casselberry, Eatonville.
Nice work with this! You hit it spot on! Been in the Orlando area since 1980 so yep it's not all fun and games here. People think it's all Disney World here and it's not.
I used to deliver prepared snacks for various Head Start facilities in MCO 20 years ago to ALL the hoods mentioned in your video. The one that stood out the most was Mercy Drive at The Palms. The Head Start facility consisted of two portable buildings inside a quadrangle which was surrounded by a barbed wire fence. Looked like a perfect preparation for the school -to-prison pipeline.
Maaaaaaan I was here talking in love with a house for sale but the price is way too good to be true so I had to see if CZcams had some useful info and here you go. The property I was looking at is right smack in the middle of the neighborhoods in this video 😮 Thank you so much for saving me from a huge mistake!
Good looking bro. I'm not even from Orlando. I grew up in Philly and I plan on moving some place warm when it's time to hang it up. Plus I watch a lot of your videos. Orlando vs Tampa neighborhoods and others. Keep doing your thing bro ✊🏾💯
I’ve lived in Orlando all my life. Most crime is isolated. No drive by’s like that. If someone has an issue or know who they want to rob, they go directly to that individual. Very seldom you’ll hear of random acts of violence. Most criminals here have more respect for innocent women and children than most big cities.
Omg, thank goodness for this. We have been in Orlando for a week and spending our time driving looking for Homes for sale. priority is a safe neighborhood. So far no luck as it seems our budget is not high enough for a “nicer” hood. We've been to some places you've mentioned today. I hope you will cover and blog the “safer” areas ( & suburbs) that are not so pricey.
I taught at an elementary school in Pine Hills (Crime Hills), but lived in Winter Park from 2004-2013. There was a huge difference between my neighborhood versus the one that I taught at. I had 5th grader students that would tell me when I leave school to drive at least to MetroWest before I get out of the car because they didn't want me shot.
Nice vid, got a few laughs out of me. I'd definitely suggest Holden Heights which encompasses OBT around I-4 and just south of it. Pine Hills is big, I'd say the northern edges of it are decent - obviously way north of Silver Star. Haven't been up that way in a long time though. I forget the neighborhood name but 436 near 408 might be of note too. Even beautiful Winter Garden with its lively downtown has a couple sketchy spots but I'm sure people will flip out if you mention it. 😂
I passed thru hood of winter garden one time and had 30 Mfs outside corner store staring at me while I past .. driving slow cuz I was concerned about police and whip had dark tint
The apartments, on 192, were actually hotels and motels not apartments. A lot either got shut down or turned into where homeless families have to pay to stay.
Dude I find your videos to be extremely informative! Im looking to move to central Florida from Ohio and i wanna know where NOT to live ya know? So thank you for this!
Yeah and old song they really change Pinehills up there trying to have more people moving it’s actually really nice out there compared to what it used to be
Thanks for your informative video. In my early years I have been to the states 15 times (I am from Austria/Europe), but haven´t been to the US for the last 15 years and now I am planning to go there with my 14 year old son for the first time. So the info you are providing is very valueable for me, Greeting
I think you’re doing a good thing by showing the “rough” parts of these cities so hopefully folks wanting to move like to Orlando won’t get screwed by a Realtor & people moving here should know the good places to the not so nice. You do a good service,dude & keep up the good work 😊
I actually agree. This gives someone a little insight into a prospect move to the area. showing the surrounding areas opens up a larger field for out of state or town future residents. They can see what the small suburbs look like. they can see how big yards are in the older areas. Vs the stamp and print extravert factory's
I appreciate the honesty and humor. Your right about stats. As for property crimes, in the hood areas there is not much to steal and property crimes don't usually get reported, while in wealthy areas everything gets reported.
Using my wife's account because I almost never make any online comments. I was a cop in Orlando in the 90's, in District 36, which was basically the Mercy Drive area. I also worked Paramore (which is a short street), and Ivey (though part of that is in the county). I was a wild man during those times, after working federal drug interdiction (narco trafficking in the Carib, Mexico, Central and South Am. with U.S. Customs and DEA). I can tell you that I got my regular adrenaline fix on the evening and midnight shifts in W. Orlando. You could go south on Paramore from W. Colonial, and turn west on Livingston, and you were guaranteed to get hit with a barrage of rocks, bottles, and occasional gunfire (it was automatic), prompting a county-wide response from OPD, Orange County S.O., FHP, and other LEO's. Ivey was probably the worst, where the average crack dealer (on every other corner) only lived about 2 weeks. There was also a housing project called "The Palms" on Mercy (torn down later I believe). That place was unreal. Lots of crim'in, and automatic rifle fire on party nights. But don't say the cops didn't go somewhere, because the west side cops didn't hesitate to get in the shit. After I left OPD (adrenaline junkie turned expecting father), I saw a story on the news about a female OPD officer that took over my district sometime later who was shot to death. You left out 2 important places though: 1) Church Street Station was a touristy area with bars, restaurants, etc. immediately east of the I-4 overpass, but one bad area of the hood was immediately west of I-4, so tourists would go the wrong way and get robbed, stabbed, shot, etc.; and 2) S. Orange Blossom Trail (OBT). I still remember all the unsuspecting tourists that would use travelocity or some other online travel site to book a hotel and wound up on W. Colonial or OBT, and got robbed, stabbed, shot, etc. If anyone is actually thinking about moving to Orlando, stay in the NE or buy lots of guns and ammo.
Ive lived on OBT & oakridge my 36 years. Currently on texas the past 2 years lol If you havent already, dont forget Timberskan next time!!! Lol good video man
@candima I'm not looking to buy just yet would like to rent for at least the first year while I get the feel of the area. Definitely looking for reasonable. 3+ bedroom Homes/Apts under $2k a month in a decent neighborhood. Does that exist there? (Thanks for responding btw)
I have a Aunt that Lives in Orlando and she live in the Pine Hills area. Which one of the worst places to live in the city. But she is not scared at all and lives by herself.
That's my home town. We are a bit rough around the proverbial edges. My Mom n Dad retired from disney after 30 years. If someone gets mad, it's because you are right.
@@kingkol Well, it is if you find work that can afford it. I lived there most of my life. Lots to do, beach roughly same distance either way. The car scene is real. Legit love for custom rides from 50's night to burnout contests. Legit racing and drifting. Also, the less than legal but still safe-ish stuff too. It gets stupid hot in central Fl. And I have also seen ice on a pond like 4 times in 30 years. Most of Orland has a defensive pride for it being clean. And for the most part it is. Just some old, but not old enough to regentrify areas.
Very nice and informative video, you are the best one I’ve seen to date when it comes to giving real true info on various cities and there areas, always thanks for sharing…👌👏👍💪🏻😀
What you said at the end is true it’s about keeping tourists safe because real estate agents will lie or just not say n put them in the middle of the crimes
By law, we are NOT ALLOWED to mention bad areas. It’ll violate the Federal Fair Housing Act. It’s called redlining. It is considered a discriminatory practice. But we suggest to do homework and see the area yourself.
I work at the outlets on international drive a block away from Oakridge and my store and the stores here around get hit everyday. The mall doesn't even know what to do anymore. It's EVERYDAY! it became so bad that store are increasing prices to make up for the losses so clients are paying for it.
I noticed that Orlando has a lack of city planning. There are expensive communities that are built adjacent to squalor; we refer to this as the "cabbage patch " city design. The streets followed the homes until someone had the good sense to do it the other way around. They think that they solve the problem by gating the communities but that is bandage on the problem. The politicians have no interest in urban planning. I've seen million dollar homes that face the "Archie Bunker " row houses because even with gated communities there is a limit on fence and hedge height.
John young pkwy is where i was trafficked. I was at the bus station and got trafficked in the motel 6. The detective told me i was lucky to be alive. The sad thing is, he was from the virgin islands, and got NO jail time except for when they rescued me. He paid off the Prosecutor. The most terrifying time of my life.
Thanks for making this video. I was born in this placed. It has went to the dogs. I absolutely hate it in Orlando. People came from other places and messed up our neighborhoods.
Same here. My family moved to Orlando in the early 70's and my father talks about riding his horse down parts of Semoran BLVD that were unpaved back in those days... Hell, I remember riding my first 3-wheeler on the old TG Lee farmland behind our old house on Gentian Street.
Can honestly say blame our neighboring caribbean for bringing that third world culture here and the transplants from the northeast probably not used to owning land or a home. Yup, I said it.
I grew up in Orlando in the 70's up till 90, aside from all the crime and stuff, just watching footage of these areas brings back memories, I considered all of Orlando my city
I've lived in Akron & Canton. I've lived in some of the worst parts of Orlando. The ghettos in Fl are nothing like the ghettos here. We don't have gangs in Fl like Ohio does. The cultures are completely different.
Yeah, Orlando ghetto is definitely not the same standard as ghettos in other states. When I’ve had family visit me from NY, they’d laugh and say things like “ that’s the worst ya got?” “Y’all call this ghetto?!” Lol
Yes people from up north laugh at our so called ghettos because most times u can't look at the area and tell how bad it is, but don't be naive, there is a lot of crime.
Dude _ with all respect to the rest ( but ) you guys ( are ) top notch ! whether ppl like it or not : no one _ and i mean ( no one ) is doing the most honest sincere work _ that no one does because of different personal interest _ word 🔥
I loved this video! This is my City… and the 1 thing I ALWAYS hear from ALL my friends and family that come visit from out of state is how different Orlando is from what u think it is because of how Orlando is marketed or sold. People see the theme parks and the fancy destination resorts and forget that all that flashiness is all inclusive. Meaning if your not staying in the Disney, Universal or timeshare resorts ur NOT GONNA EXPERIENCE ANY OF THAT. people don’t realize how much power Disney has… they have so much power that they control what news comes out of Orlando in efforts to not shine a spotlight on the reality that this is a growing metropolis with A LOT OF LOW INCOME EMPLOYMENT AND HIGH LIVING COST. UNFORTUNATELY UNLESS U HAVE A JOB THAT PAYS 150,000 or more you will either live in the hood or live in a nice area with about 10 roommates. Orlando is nice and beautiful BUT ITS NOT THE SAFESTCITY BY FAR. BUT ITS AN AMAZING CITY TO GROW UP IN!
I think it would be a white person's worst nightmare to get lost and end up in one of these parts of town. Especially after sundown. I don't think I'm being racist I'm just being fear Factor. 😬
I went to vacation in Orlando not too long ago... we saw a dead dude on the street, and this was OUTSIDE downtown Orlando. I'm sure he died from an overdose! (It was in a rough neighborhood, too)
I must add these few in the mix of shady neighborhoods: South Semoran, LB McLeod, East 192, and Kirkman Ave. All these places sure gave me goosebumps while driving at night.
Rosemont yep. I think a lot of the locals who have been here for many many years do know the typical areas with the most news stories. Let's not forget Azalea Park. Now those flowers are not always blooming right in Azalea.
I grew up in pine hills I was born in 71 live there through the '80s to the early 90s it used to be one of the best places to move in Orlando if you can believe that
I lived in Orlando 10 years, and no lies detected on this video. However some of the hoods listed are worse than others. Pine hills, mercy drive/ivey lane local businesses has really good food places. (Washington shores seafood, Nikkis place, or carribean restaurants)
Ah, nothing like home. I certainly do not miss the traffic though. I spent some time near Mercy Drive working as a Selector/Lift Operator at the old Winn-Dixie Warehouse on 2nd Shift... Wild Nights, LOL!!! Made quite a few friends from there and miss the chaos. Made quite the legend at the time Selecting Beef/Seafood(80+lb frozen cases) at 115-130% production. 🤷♂😎
Orlando native here! I grew up downtown off S. Orange Ave. Basically downtown. Moved around as a college student renting rooms and working. Lived off 2nd St. In Sanford for 4 yrs. Lived off Main St in APK! Used to drive to Ivy Lane to get the BEST shrimp and conch fritters off window with bars. A restaurant run by Haitians. And yes....I went to OAK RIDGE HIGH✌. It was an F rated school in the 90's lol. I got my GED from Orlando Tech a year before I was supposed to graduate for this reason alone lol. Im 39 and decided to move out east ass Orlando 5 yrs ago and Im appalled at the urban sprawl...soon Bithlo going to be gentrified...its getting there. Shit is crazy over here. Theres a hood in every neighborhood😂 PS ....yes I bought drugs in all those hoods when I was young...js
I mean, at least Bithlonians don't haveta deal with 50 year old motor oil and 2 month old transmission fluid ending up in the water no more. Grew up in Bonneville, then moved out to bithlo now up by the cheesheads
Grew up in O-town. Very accurate info..most of those areas are the oldest and at one time (Been here since the '60's) were just average neighborhoods. Moved a few counties over decades ago. Orlando is just too busy for me. I'll take my smaller town any day.
Ugh 🤦🏾♀️ yeah I was told to stay clear of those area’s i was born in Orlando fl and was raised on swanson st in the Windermere fl area and was homeschooled
10 min thats not an apartment complex its the old Marriot resort at I-4 and 192, its been a couple different names, the 2004 hurricanes badly damaged it and it just never recovered
The next time u come back to Metropolitan Orlando, don't forget Rosemont, Orla Vista, Eatonville, Lee Road, Tangelo Park, Lockhart, Winter Garden, Tildenville, Plymouth, Zellwood, and Azela Park!
I live in Orlando florida ever since I was born and I live in oak ridge and it’s the best place for me it’s amazing and whenever I go to down town it’s an amazing experience for me and my family I personally love my neighbor hood it’s amazing
I live on the west side of Orlando in the link s hills area I live off lowers and its not all bad but their are def some really bad areas even close to where I live an anything off obt is pretty bad as well it really depends what part of that neighborhood your in
I’m in kissame fl and right now on vacay from Texas I was at rio grande super market it looked hood is that the hood and was it in any hoods on this video
Fantastic video but West Colonial, Pine hill and Texas/Americana (we dont call it oak ridge, just Texas/Americana) are the current top 3. I still go to West colonial a few times a month because the Asian Grocery, (no violence in that complex. legit.)
I am from orlando and dont be fooled alot of these people do know the actual names of the areas in the O but they are more comfortable by ackowledging the areas by the street names. It a turf thing mantality and yes some dont know either! I am from richmond heights i stay in the Richmond estates neighborhood which is connected to the prince hall neighborhood also know as lil egypt
To clarify, Sanford & Apopka are not suburbs of Orlando. They are independent cities.
But they are apart of the greater Orlando metropolitan area
Correct. Apopka is about an hour out from Orlando, but for Sanford I disagree.
@@bobbyfreitas6198agreed about Stanford but Apopka is like a sub city with range of Greater Orlando which inckudes Disney ect
Apk ain't no hour from Orlando more like 10 minutes and it's in Orange County which is part of Orlando.
Bullshit Apopka is Orange County same as Orlando
Thanks for the heads up didn't know Orlando had such bad areas good video lots of information will share it with friends
I'm a white girl. I would walk down Paramore often when I was taking deliveries from work. I never had a problem and the people were awesome. They've done a lot of improvements out there since the soccer stadium's been built

Right he's full of crap about he's not black lol @@authellodepeaza4460
None of those areas are that bad. If you go into any area looking for trouble you will get it. I worked in a lot of those areas cause my job had work to do in a lot of those areas I never had any problems with anybody out there. Shouts out to all of my peoples in Orange County, APK, Pine Hills, Rosemont, West 50, Winter Garden, Mercy Dr., SilverStar, Texas ave, Ivey Lane, Tangelo Park, Malibu, Rio Grande, Parramore, Richmond Heights, Seminole County Sanford, Altamonte, Longwood, Casselberry, Eatonville.
Shared this with my fellow future home buyers .. if your not a local you would never know about the local culture of the neighbourhoods, thanks guys
Nice work with this! You hit it spot on! Been in the Orlando area since 1980 so yep it's not all fun and games here. People think it's all Disney World here and it's not.
Champion glate new Disney tourist since 192 all gross now that use to be the tourist area

I appreciate the honesty and humor. Your right about stats. As for property crimes, in the hood areas there is not much to steal and property crimes don't usually get reported, while in wealthy areas everything gets reported.

Great educational video friend.
I work at the outlets on international drive a block away from Oakridge and my store and the stores here around get hit everyday. The mall doesn't even know what to do anymore. It's EVERYDAY! it became so bad that store are increasing prices to make up for the losses so clients are paying for it.
Yeah, that Outlet is very expensive. With your reasoning I can see why.
It's happening out in California but yes the trends of theft is getting too toxic and consumers should not be footing the Bill
I noticed that Orlando has a lack of city planning. There are expensive communities that are built adjacent to squalor; we refer to this as the "cabbage patch " city design. The streets followed the homes until someone had the good sense to do it the other way around. They think that they solve the problem by gating the communities but that is bandage on the problem. The politicians have no interest in urban planning. I've seen million dollar homes that face the "Archie Bunker " row houses because even with gated communities there is a limit on fence and hedge height.
You're right and that never made sense to me.
John young pkwy is where i was trafficked. I was at the bus station and got trafficked in the motel 6. The detective told me i was lucky to be alive. The sad thing is, he was from the virgin islands, and got NO jail time except for when they rescued me. He paid off the
Prosecutor. The most terrifying time of my life.
😭😢😥😰😨😓
You forgot OBT area near Lancaster rd. Tons of people doing drugs and all kinds of shady business going on around there.
OBT is over looked🤦🏾♂️ between obt and da pines ion wanna go back to obt😂
@@0T5Fxk12 OBT sucks.
My brother was driving through OBT and a prostitute tried to give him sum
@@dd.3262 I have seen them standing around. Most of them dont even look good
I live on obt near Lancaster you right shits crazy over here
Yo bro was there any security at that big ass hotel near 192? I havent explored it in years
people say theres a guard there but ive been a few times and never saw him
Thanks for making this video. I was born in this placed. It has went to the dogs. I absolutely hate it in Orlando. People came from other places and messed up our neighborhoods.
Same here. My family moved to Orlando in the early 70's and my father talks about riding his horse down parts of Semoran BLVD that were unpaved back in those days... Hell, I remember riding my first 3-wheeler on the old TG Lee farmland behind our old house on Gentian Street.
Can honestly say blame our neighboring caribbean for bringing that third world culture here and the transplants from the northeast probably not used to owning land or a home. Yup, I said it.
I grew up in Orlando in the 70's up till 90, aside from all the crime and stuff, just watching footage of these areas brings back memories, I considered all of Orlando my city
Why do the places turn into hoods? Why wreck the place you live in? Why all of the crime too? If it's due to money, why not train and get a job?
Absolutely accurate 23 years resided there in Florida around that
Florida ghettos are still funny to me 🤣 I'm in Columbus Ohio and our ghettos are so dirty, you definitely know when you're there
I've lived in Akron & Canton. I've lived in some of the worst parts of Orlando. The ghettos in Fl are nothing like the ghettos here. We don't have gangs in Fl like Ohio does. The cultures are completely different.
Dude wtf I stayed traveling to Ohio when I stayed in Indianapolis and Ohio ghetto is wayyyy worser all the buildings be halfway decayed
Yeah, Orlando ghetto is definitely not the same standard as ghettos in other states. When I’ve had family visit me from NY, they’d laugh and say things like “ that’s the worst ya got?” “Y’all call this ghetto?!” Lol
Yes people from up north laugh at our so called ghettos because most times u can't look at the area and tell how bad it is, but don't be naive, there is a lot of crime.
@@Iris-zq5mqright! Orlando is safe
Dude _ with all respect to the rest ( but ) you guys ( are ) top notch ! whether ppl like it or not : no one _ and i mean ( no one ) is doing the most honest sincere work _ that no one does because of different personal interest _ word 🔥
I loved this video! This is my City… and the 1 thing I ALWAYS hear from ALL my friends and family that come visit from out of state is how different Orlando is from what u think it is because of how Orlando is marketed or sold. People see the theme parks and the fancy destination resorts and forget that all that flashiness is all inclusive. Meaning if your not staying in the Disney, Universal or timeshare resorts ur NOT GONNA EXPERIENCE ANY OF THAT. people don’t realize how much power Disney has… they have so much power that they control what news comes out of Orlando in efforts to not shine a spotlight on the reality that this is a growing metropolis with A LOT OF LOW INCOME EMPLOYMENT AND HIGH LIVING COST. UNFORTUNATELY UNLESS U HAVE A JOB THAT PAYS 150,000 or more you will either live in the hood or live in a nice area with about 10 roommates. Orlando is nice and beautiful BUT ITS NOT THE SAFESTCITY BY FAR. BUT ITS AN AMAZING CITY TO GROW UP IN!
Thanks for making this video.
I think it would be a white person's worst nightmare to get lost and end up in one of these parts of town. Especially after sundown. I don't think I'm being racist I'm just being fear Factor. 😬
I went to vacation in Orlando not too long ago... we saw a dead dude on the street, and this was OUTSIDE downtown Orlando.
I'm sure he died from an overdose! (It was in a rough neighborhood, too)
I must add these few in the mix of shady neighborhoods: South Semoran, LB McLeod, East 192, and Kirkman Ave. All these places sure gave me goosebumps while driving at night.
Damn, that Z88.3 billboard hit me right in the nostalgia 😂
Rosemont yep. I think a lot of the locals who have been here for many many years do know the typical areas with the most news stories. Let's not forget Azalea Park. Now those flowers are not always blooming right in Azalea.
I grew up in pine hills I was born in 71 live there through the '80s to the early 90s it used to be one of the best places to move in Orlando if you can believe that
Love the narration.
Can you please put a video on the 10 best neighborhood in Florida
Soon
I lived in Orlando 10 years, and no lies detected on this video. However some of the hoods listed are worse than others. Pine hills, mercy drive/ivey lane local businesses has really good food places. (Washington shores seafood, Nikkis place, or carribean restaurants)
Mercy Drive in Pine Hills is not even that bad anymore
Lol the best food is usually in the hood. 🤷🏾♀️
800 block jacksonst
Washington shores seafood is really good. My go to spot fr
Mercy drive is first
Wow this was awesome now I know where NOT to stay when I visit with my young daughter thank you so much you might have saved a life lol...
Great video
Ah, nothing like home. I certainly do not miss the traffic though. I spent some time near Mercy Drive working as a Selector/Lift Operator at the old Winn-Dixie Warehouse on 2nd Shift... Wild Nights, LOL!!! Made quite a few friends from there and miss the chaos. Made quite the legend at the time Selecting Beef/Seafood(80+lb frozen cases) at 115-130% production. 🤷♂😎
i know what you mean too LOL - love the city life
Traffic there is 2nd worst to Miami. Need more Smart Public Transportation Plans and Options.
The story: Orlando is not fairy land. It’s a big city with the usual big city problems. You need to know what you getting.
Orlando native here! I grew up downtown off S. Orange Ave. Basically downtown. Moved around as a college student renting rooms and working. Lived off 2nd St. In Sanford for 4 yrs. Lived off Main St in APK! Used to drive to Ivy Lane to get the BEST shrimp and conch fritters off window with bars. A restaurant run by Haitians. And yes....I went to OAK RIDGE HIGH✌. It was an F rated school in the 90's lol. I got my GED from Orlando Tech a year before I was supposed to graduate for this reason alone lol. Im 39 and decided to move out east ass Orlando 5 yrs ago and Im appalled at the urban sprawl...soon Bithlo going to be gentrified...its getting there. Shit is crazy over here. Theres a hood in every neighborhood😂 PS ....yes I bought drugs in all those hoods when I was young...js
Orlando roughest place no doubt
At least you didn’t had to go far to get your groove on😀😊😁
You know something lol
Damn bruh u done been everywhere in central Florida 😂😂😂
I mean, at least Bithlonians don't haveta deal with 50 year old motor oil and 2 month old transmission fluid ending up in the water no more. Grew up in Bonneville, then moved out to bithlo now up by the cheesheads
Oh man, I installed half the signs on 192, including those LED strips on Orange world.
Lol when I saw your thumbnail pic I was like thats right around the corner from my crib😂
Ohh snap 🤣🤣🤣
I’m was born and raised here; you nailed it!
Grew up in O-town. Very accurate info..most of those areas are the oldest and at one time (Been here since the '60's) were just average neighborhoods. Moved a few counties over decades ago. Orlando is just too busy for me. I'll take my smaller town any day.
this isnt accurate at all lmao
veryyy funny video mennn!!!!! congrats!!!!! #cool
I love it too you should do saint Pete , Florida
Ugh 🤦🏾♀️ yeah I was told to stay clear of those area’s i was born in Orlando fl and was raised on swanson st in the Windermere fl area and was homeschooled
Coming from Miami all these places look nice. Opa Locks and Liberty City will have you shocked.
overtown will have you shocked i came from orlando to miami lived off 20th street near overtwn market.
10 min thats not an apartment complex its the old Marriot resort at I-4 and 192, its been a couple different names, the 2004 hurricanes badly damaged it and it just never recovered
The next time u come back to Metropolitan Orlando, don't forget Rosemont, Orla Vista, Eatonville, Lee Road, Tangelo Park, Lockhart, Winter Garden, Tildenville, Plymouth, Zellwood, and Azela Park!
Oh man I went to so many shows down there near OBT/Colonial, the vibe was always sus at 2am
You are such a great Commentator. LMAO. We lived there for 12 years. You could not be more correct.
😅😅😅
Bro the 321 esta despingado with the homeless people. You can apply for a panhandling permit in Orlando now and that's absolutely insane to me.
its 407 transplant
I live in Orlando florida ever since I was born and I live in oak ridge and it’s the best place for me it’s amazing and whenever I go to down town it’s an amazing experience for me and my family I personally love my neighbor hood it’s amazing
Which parts of Apopka and Sanford are bad?
I’ve been living here all my life and you’re 100% right. Tbh east of i4 winter park Avalon park. That’s where you need to look at.
I lived here 20 years and i couldnt agree more
I live on the west side of Orlando in the link s hills area I live off lowers and its not all bad but their are def some really bad areas even close to where I live an anything off obt is pretty bad as well it really depends what part of that neighborhood your in
I’m in kissame fl and right now on vacay from Texas I was at rio grande super market it looked hood is that the hood and was it in any hoods on this video
Florida is truly hard to tell if you in the hood
Fantastic video but West Colonial, Pine hill and Texas/Americana (we dont call it oak ridge, just Texas/Americana) are the current top 3. I still go to West colonial a few times a month because the Asian Grocery, (no violence in that complex. legit.)
Free government housing mean u can’t complain? Shut up I grew up in public housing there’s a lot to complain about
I avoid those area's period and that mercy joke was funny 🤣
i was like, who the crap named it LOL
Whoever made this video did an amazing job...we should sit down and talk sometime...you can make a whole new video
Can’t believe they didn’t include Ohio St. Probably the most dangerous street in the entire city. I was a fire medic in Orlando.
Is that OBT? Never heard of this Street and I was raised in the city
@@helpme100 No. it’s off Old Winter Garden Road. It’s N Ohio St.
I am from orlando and dont be fooled alot of these people do know the actual names of the areas in the O but they are more comfortable by ackowledging the areas by the street names. It a turf thing mantality and yes some dont know either! I am from richmond heights i stay in the Richmond estates neighborhood which is connected to the prince hall neighborhood also know as lil egypt
Love that O- town flavor you got to live here to feel the love I move here from Connecticut and it is a loving caring town with row home hospitality
I go to grimy hoods just to see. In Orlando now for few days. Drove thru Mercy street. Same hoods everywhere you go
I love orlando, I grew up here. Yeah its crazy and yeah its good!
Thats what makes iy great
Why is Sanford on the list,where’s Richmond heights,tangelo park,carver shores,orange center,rio grand…..etc
I grew up in Orlando and it’s really not that bad 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So did I. Its pretty.bad in Orlando
Its not that bad
Idk, some parts are terrible.
Depends on where you lived in Orlando 💯
I go once a month. I love Disney.
You get what you pay for when it comes to hotels 🤷🏽♂️
city i luv by jon young was a classic growing up in the early 2000s in orlando
Yup
Well said!!
Sanford isn't Orlando.
Yes it is
It’s other neighborhoods that are bad like carver shores and Richmond heights are basically clique up together
