I know exactly where she lives.... I too, live within a few miles... With the exception of a few neighborhoods on this side of town, they area all straight up middle class... The few 'bad' neighborhoods are lower middle class at worst.

Compared to how it used to be, it does suck here. Not as bad as Parramore, but not as nice as other areas. It's ugly, there has been increased gang activity and the schools aren't great. Some places further out aren't bad. Lake Nona for example. But the exec airport to Alafaya & hwy 50 to Hoffner is not a nice area. Not a paradise anyway.
