We are really interested in the StoneyBrook Golf Club Subdivision. Is this a family oriented city? Crime? Schools? All info will be helpful since we know nothing about the area. My husband will work at the Airport And I am a Nurse so very flexible on where I can work. Also if there are any other suggestions for great places to live work and play thats great for the family Let me know.
What area would one liken to the Manhatten of Orlando? For instance Atlanta to the Buckhead area? Hope you understand the analogy.

Stoneybrook West in Winter Garden is a great option if you're looking to live in Southwest Orlando. There are actually a lot of subdivisions in this area, but Stoneybrook offers a golf course, playground and lake access that others do not. The only thing to know is that a giant shopping district is being built very near Stoneybrook which will probably increase the amount of traffic in the area. Right now, the 429 toll road is generally traffic-free, but that may change when the shopping opens up.
The other subdivisions I'd look at are Independence, Summerport and all of the Windermere area. If you can find a place to buy in Windermere proper, the schools are great and you have good access to downtown on the 408 and an easy drive to the theme parks, too.

Crime is pretty low, it's a family oriented area, it has a good number of things to do, recreation activities, etc. The schools are good as well, however Florida in general doesn't have the best education system out there. It's decent though
The Manhattan of Orlando would probably be Downtown Orlando, because that's the closest you can get to somewhere like Manhattan, although it is nothing like Manhattan.
Overall, Winter Garden is beautiful and it's a nice place to live. Make sure you can tolerate 90 + degree weather in the summer! =)

you might also call the police department of the area to find out about crime rates. chamber of commerce for ideas about schools and such. Call a real estate agent in the area to get details on the area. good luck
