Lockhart Orlando, FL

A quiet community in the northwestern stretches of Orlando

Suburban Peaceful Affordable

There are lots of homeless (not even sure if they're homeless) lurking, asking for money, and you see them later on buying cigarettes and stuff of that sort

My neighborhood is literally behind a middle school and down the street from 2 elementary schools. So there is a lot of kids around and plenty of supervision. It's nice seeing kids playing outside these days and not stuck in the house and my neighborhood is just the right place. I've been living here in Citrus Cove for 19 years and I've seen new faces and the same faces through out my stay. I would most definitely choose to live here again.

There is no crime in the area and it is a very calm atmosphere. If I could do it all over again I would definitely live here again because my neighbors are very kind and generous. I can not fairly rank this area compared to everywhere else in the country because I do not know any other areas. I can see more housing and diversity in the future.
