Please choose somewhere else to move!

384K for a house is not affordable for most people in the area.

It's insanely overcrowded now!

We chose outside of Orlando but within an hour's drive. Less traffic, closer to the beaches. Florida has so many wonderful choices.

It depends on where you live in Kissimmee. We lived off of Pleasant Hill...or Unpleasant Hill as my husband calls it 😂. Horrible traffic. Would not recommend. It took over an hour to drive 16 miles 1 way,because of all the stop lights and there are exactly 0 other roads being built to alleviate the traffic.Yet,plenty of new housing is going in now-making traffic worse. Closer to downtown/the area where Ken is..is very charming. But unless you want to be in a car over 2 hours a day.. stay away from Pleasant Hill/Poinciana area.

For the love of God I wish people would STOP moving here. I live on Pleasant hill in Kissimmee and there are literally TWO ROADS - THREE if you know the path out of the suburbs and into the main city. It is horrible we DO NOT need more people. Please, it is adding to the horrible traffic which you WILL BE STUCK in for A MINIMUM of 2-3 hours everyday you live here. DO NOT COME. I see a car accident daily, sometimes 2 a day this is not an exaggeration. Just a few months ago there was a deadly head-on collision on Pleasant Hill and it shut down and backed up traffic in the entire city until literally 10 pm. For the record I am trying to get the fuck out of here because I've been here for 10 years now and it is worse every single year. Don't get stuck.

🛑 STOP! Moving here, the violence is increasing and traffic is excruciating!!! This video glorifies the city but it really isn't what you think it is!! OVERCROWDING a small area of the state😓😓😓

Absolutely hate Kissimee…. St. Cloud …. It’s ok…. But Kissimee has become extremely overcrowded. Bad drivers . Expect an accident at the very least once a day!

Great video of all the all the beautiful lakes and historic downtown. What you failed to mention is the staggering number of families and children living in dilapidated hotels on 192, the opioid epidemic, continued increase in crime. Not mention the over congested roads, lack of infrastructure to include power, clean water, and emergency services to accommodate the unchecked urban development. Almost forgot the bombardment of homeless people at most major intersections.

I lived in Kissimmee when they just Finished Osceola parkway and built the loop near my new house.20 years later it became a whole city and Disney was 15 minutes away but now with traffic it’s 30 minutes:p . I just moved to Saint Cloud by Conoe creek and it’s becoming the new poinciana lol

If you enjoy road rage and the worst traffic in the country, move to Kissimmee. Infrastructure lags the population growth about 20 years. All those impact fees collected and they are just now upgrading the roads in Osceola County. If you enjoy two $9/hr jobs to survive, then Kissimmee is the place for you. Yes, I live there.

If you’re reading this. Kissimmee is a very weird place . You have a vast majority of just rude Hispanics. I am Hispanic my self and I can’t stand them sometimes. The traffic is horrible and it’s never peaceful . There’s always something going on either with police or accidents. I recommend Davenport or cleaning. 👏

This explains my rent going from 1,500 to 1,750 in just two years.

Perhaps its just me ? But $400,000.00 isn't what I consider Affordable . The idea of living in an area that's being constantly developed doesn't sound enticing either . The quality of life will begin to suffer at some point in Florida . So. No thanks .

Great video Ken as always ! Def will be using you when I move to Florida . Nice to see you a realtors perspective on KZfaq

I don’t think I need to leave a full comment after seeing what other locals are saying as someone who’s been here for the last 10 years. All a sudden in the last 5 years there’s been a massive increase in population and construction. And not enough roads to support it all. Got in a accident just a few days ago. And food service sucks as most quick food places have a bunch of low life’s who don’t care how nasty they make your food. Kissimmee is definitely a 1 star place to move. However lake Nona and celebration are still nice.

Thanks for actually talking good about my home I love when people show all the beauty I see regularly

Great video! Was there scooting around Lake Toho yesterday, beautiful day! They did a really good job of developing the park around Lake Toho. I remember when you had to park in the dirt on their busted up roads back in the day lol

Exactly the reason we're leaving Florida. This guys nuts. No one jet skis or paddle boards here theres ten foot🐊 alligators in every inch of water everywhere. Over development on a massive scale. We've been here 13 years in poinciana and the traffic is insane now. Turning into San Bernardino. Destroying all the beautiful woods and swamps and orange groves. Growth ruins everywhere. We sold and are moving to Tennessee next week. Adios Florida

Excellent video and awesome property choices. Traffic is insane in Kissimmee though.

I moved there in 2020 and the boom from then to now was unbelievable!

Being affordable will soon be a thing of the past. With the massive influx of people, I’ve seen rental properties jump $300-$500 or even more with nothing special about the home. It may be affordable to the people who are already paying high rent in other states but for the people who been living here all their lives it’s not.

I see you've got this area hyped up.... But if you really want the low down ask someone like me how this area has lost all the greatness it once had. Yes 9 zip codes, and the distance from Poinciana 34758 to BVL 34744 is a huge driving difference. Try getting home from my job 34746 to 33896, 45 minutes for a 10-minute trip, it's awful at night! Way too much building, way too crowded, way overpriced, and it would do anyone moving here a great justice to speak Spanish...almost as a first language, and English as a secondary. I miss the old Kissimmee/St Cloud, my heart breaks for this area that I've been in since 1988.

Reason why everyone is moving is because all the people from NY and Puerto Rico are moving here on top of all the people from Latin America

Nice video! Yes there are positive things but it's already too crowded how everyone has stated. I live in 34758 area. TRAFFIC is one thing but also income (work) is another huge factor. If you don't come with a career or your own company forget about it. 90% of Jobs only pay $12-14 an hour. How do you expect to pay a rent of $2k and up with that? Also the commute to work alone is easily 1hr +

Thanks for sharing all this good information 😁

Great tips for Kissimmee!! We just vlogged the Amtrak station there. Vlog coming soon!!

Ken, LOVE your videos! Since Kissimmee is becoming the place to be, I was wondering if you’d consider doing a video on Tohoqua and Tohoqua Reserve sometime? Would love to hear your thoughts.

The minimum wage in Kissimmee is outdated and the rent rate is still rising

High crime rate . Had a double murder happend next to where I live and had few other murders happend with in the same street . I live in BVL

Hmm this must be why rent prices have been going up every month…

Kissimmee was a great place to live in and outta no where in 2017 the prices shot up I had to leave because of that sadly :( I loved Kissimmee how it used to be not what it is now

Great video. South and north of 192 in West Kissimmee is great as well. From celebration to hwy 27 with Sunset Walk and everything being built up, you can find some great deals outside of short term rental communitys/mostly long term communitys too.

Uggh. Kissimmee is so ghetto. Some parts may look nice but quality of services, healthcare, customer service, schools, are all gross. Especially for that price and many people in the county are low income and can’t afford 384k. There is nothing downtown but but not going to lie, Old Town is kinda fun. Unless you’re moving here to live near theme parks, Florida is ruined y’all, don’t buy into the hype.

Kissimmee is like Miami now, you gotta know Spanish just to go thru drive-thru.

Great video, Ken

Thanks for the videos

use to live in davenport Kissimmee border. To see the area grown since I move here to FL is crazy. still i-4 project will take 20000000 years 🤣🤣

Saint Cloud and Kissimmee in close proximity to Disney World, Universal Studio, Sea World, NASA Kennedy Space Center, Orlando International airport, Gatorland and much more! But those areas are growing very fast. A lot of new beautiful developments and new neighborhoods. As a result we can see overcrowded stores and heavy traffic. We have a lot of videos on our channel showing beautiful and negative sides of Saint Cloud and Kissimmee, Florida( amazing parks, gougeous historical downtowns and overcrowded Walmart and heavy rush hour traffic in Kissimmee)! Thank you for your video!

So here’s the reality ! I live in Kissimmee ( poinciana) traffic is so congested that it takes me one hour and half to 2 to Orlando, if there’s an accident 3 hours. Check the news in Kissimmee! Is terrible 😞! Do research about the traffic! One of the worst and no roads!

Ken, thanks for highlighting Kissimmee. Just bought a home in Bellalago- affordable living and close enough to all the great things Orlando (metro) offers.

lived in kissimmee florida 10 years.....left....still miss it sometime....PROS: weather, Churches, beaches, coasts, big cities (Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville) then a few miles down the road nice and rural...Long drives with car to cruise, good restaurants-lots to choose from, great wildlife - gators, manatees, panthers, etc..cool to see, Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, etc...Daytona 500, car shows, Sports teams, Football, College and Pro Football, Spring Training, Nightlife, no snow, .............CONS: Lower wages, lack of quality healthcare and doctors, southern inefficiency, bad attitudes from southerners and Floridians, Puerto Rican gangs, emphasis on Spanish language and culture, Expensive housing, Hurricanes, insects, bugs, small lizards running around, a feeling of "NO CULTURE", Lots of wealthy, elderly people, and snowbirds that are arrogant, no change of seasons, that state just gets on your nerves after awhile...

💛💛💛

Yay. Kissimmee!!!!

I just moved here ! Love it

Informative video! Thanks for sharing! I think Kissimmee could be a good choice for vacation homes as well! There are so many travel agencies that have a wide range of vacation homes in Kissimmee, one of them is Go Blue Travel.

I’ve been in Kissimmee since 2004… still hate it lol. Too expensive Too crowded Low paying Jobs a lot of homeless I really don’t understand why people keep moving here… like seriously

Florida its over populated and it's getting worse and worse I lived 20 years in fl and it's becoming 1 of the worse states in US if not the worse! Trust me this is a misleading video then this guy says Kissimmee, st cloud. But those 2 cities and orlando are the worse areas and downtown Kissimmee is not 30 mins away man, that was like 12 years ago b4 the massive migration that's been taking place in fl the last ten years specially the last 4 , now it's around 50 mins to an hour maybe more depending how bad is the traffic, and that's the key the traffic... roads are getting overwhelmed with the amount of cars going in and out, another thing to worry about big time is schools.....schools are overwhelmed, over populated and if a person happends to have kids with disabilities forget about it, I could be here hours explaining diferent reasons how it's so bad, all I can say is you' ve been worn, the difference between this coment and this video of this guy is he look like he's a realtor and that's the problem.... because he has not been honest.....he's just selling, it is prudent to realize that there's a reason why all this massive over population it's happening in fl specially the cities he just mentioned! Why? Because now there are thousands and thousands of realtors in fl probably millions of them, and what do realtor do? Same as sales mans in car dealers ect.... Sell!!! Sell! Sell! Sell!! At all cost no matter what, why, or how, sell if is the last thing you do like crazy, it is as simple as that and as sad as that is, and dont even get me started with the healthcare system and hospitals they're like fast food restaurants trust me, I love fl so much and it breaks my heart because it USED to be such a CALMED GREAT PLACE... NOW IT'S A NIGHTMARE TO LIVE AT, if you ignore this message and end up falling for that trap and you go there, you are gonna notice within a month of been there and you will always remember this message....that one person that wrote this coment.....or better said THIS WARNING was right and I should of listen to the warning before falling in into this trap, rem when things are too good to be true specially in the middle of a crisis like wera all living.... means something must be going on...... have a great day everyone

@Ken Pozek LAKE TAH-HOPE- A-TAH-LAKKA (American Indian Language), is phonetically how it is pronounced. It means Sleeping Tiger, And Kissimmee was Chief Osceola's (The County is Osceola), wife.

I've owned and lived on my farm 42 yrs now in Saint Cloud. Unfortunately the road infrastructure is horrible so may get deals but be ready for sitting on the road for most your time getting anywhere.

nice info

Everyone is literally moving to Poinciana and it sucks. It takes an hour to drive five miles. I can’t wait to get out of here.

That's where I grew up and both of my children were born in Kissimmee. When I left in 1990 I never went back and I hope I never see it again. LOL I moved there, as a child, in the early 60s. And if it was still like that I would probably still be there. LOL Also keep in mind that Walt Disney World is basically in Kissimmee, or Osceola County.

People need to stop moving here. Rents are going up EVERY year and the situation isn’t getting any better. Each day it seems like traffic keeps on getting worse and worse. You can barely get around here. They need to stop adding all these new neighborhoods with out adding onto the crumbling infrastructure

Great video tho Ken

See Ken all that can be achieved in these supporting areas.

Hi Ken, it was nice meeting you and your family in line for Spiderman ride in California adventure.😎

Please please do not move to kissimmee! We are so full it’s beyond me. Traffic is extremely horrible! What use to take 20min or less to get home, you’ll be sitting in your car for almost an hour in traffic. It’s extremely crowded here in kissimmee now. Crime rates has also spiked like crazy to where the sheriff department can’t keep up. also, lake front(where he’s at in the video) will soon become a dump with how fast kissimmee is going down the drain. I been here for 9 years and to see this place do a total 360, I’m ready to move my family away.

Kissimmee and st cloud are pretty much full. Everyone is going to davenport and more south. And last 2 years the housing market in the area sucks if your looking to buy. Pre covid the houses were 200k are now 350k and the rent is going through the roof for the people been living here. And traffic is also getting bad throughout Orlando area. Kinda sucks wish so many people werent moving here so fast

I live in Poinciana, I like it here because of the bike culture might see us pass by on dirtbikes wheeling and I basically lived here since I was 4

The screwballs! Also that you got the ice cream truck guys to do that.. LMAO

Can you do a video about Davenport, FL

Good Morning Mr. Ken! Your so amazing boss! Let’s have Coffee ☕️ 🥐

Another thing that is interesting, is Osceola County is one of the only counties and the almost 100 counties in Florida, that will give you a permit for a tiny house build, on land.

It seems like a great location. We will definitely consider any areas that have low crime, reasonable housing costs, no short-term rentals. Good schools are not critical since our kids are grown, but that always helps keep the home growing as well. Of course, proximity to Disney is important.🙂

Y’all are driving the house market ridiculous high .. we can’t even buy a house for under 250k . With in one year the market went up over 60%

for that price above $300 000 can buy several houses in other states.. in addition roads and highways are very bad and why you need house if you cant drive well. the city is growing but nobody thinks to make roads wider...

Not to mention all the great hurricanes that run a lot of newcomers back to where they came from.

Been living here for like 13 years and have seen many things change

I almost moved there when I was going to college in Orlando . I ended up in Austin TX 🤣!

Is Mercy Drive and Pine Hills area is going be turned into a genification area?

Central FL has some of the highest bicycle accidents and deaths in the entire country. I don't see the Kissimmee Police nor the City Manager doing anything about it. I have been assaulted several times in 2021 in Kissimmee. Kissimmee Lakefront gets "old" (kinda boring) quickly. You didn't mention the Shingle Creek bike trail, Funspot, Old Town... 3:03 - What is the name of that massage place? Happy Ending Massage?

We have big homeless . They sleep every where on 192 it’s nasty

St. Cloud is trying hard to accommodate new movers with building new developments but traffic gets so bad. Kissimmee is a small city by area so they are trying to build up with 3-4 story apartment buildings, gentrifying some neighborhoods in the process.

Love Kissimmee bc that’s where I grew up, but it sucks. Especially living on pleasant hill. Happy to be out 😂😂

Bahaha....you couldn't get me to live there. Traffic and crime is ridiculous. Just ask Grady.

You cannot afford a home for 300k at 15hr! I feel like more people are moving to Florida because of laxed COVID regulations. It use to be fairly cheap and now things are going up. Min wage I think is like 8hr. 300k is not cheap! I guess if your from California or somewhere but then your wages are not going to be the same. An accounting clerk in Denver Colorado would make 17-18 entry level but typically 20-25hr.

WOW... Back in 1993 when we moved here you made sure to lock your doors when you drove through Kissisimi

Please don’t move to Kissimmee. We already have crazy traffic.

Are there a lot of newly constructed houses and apartments in Kissimmee...Or are most of the houses and apartments many years old?

I skate at that place to and I go to garages too that are right next to where he’s filming

I’m a city girl. Currently living in Baldwin Park but rent is super high. Found a townhouse in Avalon Park.

I left kissimmee and moved to Tampa, Kissimmee became overcrowded, growth isn’t necessarily bad but the roads can’t support the influx of new comers. There are barely any jobs in Kissimmee so expect to drive through heavy traffic to make it to Orlando. And the home prices are outrageous , I got a much better bang for my buck in Tampa (my home cost me 289k) beautiful 2 story home and a I have a beach 5 minutes away. But sometimes I do miss Kissimmee , I am hispanic and I miss the culture there it was vibrant and fun. Sometimes I do miss the food and energy , but i much rather the beach.

Davenport video soon? Lots of changes happening. Also lots to come on Ernie Caldwell Blvd.

For those who don’t know, Kissimmee (Osceola) is the most Hispanic county in Central Florida, the Puerto Rican, Venezuelan and Colombian communities there are huge, so you will feel kind of Miami vibe there.

Yes they Great house out here traffic's really heavy here and have different races everywhere in Kissimmee

i been living in kissimmee my whole life I don't like the traffic or the rent its nice in some spots tho

They are moving close to disney and universal and it's affordable

Is the pay even high enough to support those housing prices? I lived in Orlando in 2005-2008 and the pay wasn't that great. I'd love to move back but pay needs to be at least 30 hr. Not sure if jobs pay even close down there.

I’m sad cause I grew up here and it used to be calm and trees and Orlando/Kissimmee Florida is just traffic and price rise everywhere

I moved to Orlando to work at universal and disney

Love your videos. None of my business, I know, but I feel like your camera setting is favoring the background rather than your face for crispness. A quick setting change will fix that. Looking forward to more content...keep up the great work!

I'm 13 close to 14 and I live in Kissimmee with my mom right around the airport and with my dad in lake Nona good thing my mom is getting a house in lake Nona cause are night where I live it's a good are but it's so dark at night😓

Don't come to kissimmee... we don't need more people moving in.. crime increasing... traffic is insane.... prices overly inflated...over populated...

Sheesh. I want to move away.

I have a home I could sell but I keep hearing contingencies are just NOT gonna fly right now.. SO I am saving up. :)

Kissimmee is getting too crowded. 😩

I’m a disabled veteran currently in Texas looking to relocate to central Florida area.. what info can you provide for disabled veterans who are looking to relocate to central Orlando

I’ve been actually looking to find a house in that area…actually disappointed to hear it’s so popular. Truth be told…I am very familiar with the area, as My mom and her family are from the area, My granddad was the mayor of Kissimmee at one time…I wish we could have kept his house when he passed in the late ‘90s…

Moving to Kissimmee is a huge mistake don't make it I could go on and on and on about why
