We were planning this option with my DD for the last year. We are there 5-6 weeks a year and she had previously lived alone in an apartment. We spent a week down there looking around. You will be talking closer to the $1000 plus utilities range. We were surprised that they said prices change daily with demand and when we looked a 4 bedroom was cheaper than a 3 bedroom. She had finally resolved that she would have to have roommates or live in DCP housing. Her boss told her to do the DCP housing so she would meet lots of people and be included in everything. It was an adjustment but it really worked out the best. No utilities or deposits to worry about. She lived in two complexes over the year.
We did spend a full week looking at apartments and driving around and first and foremost be very very careful, lots of areas wouldn't be safe for her to live especially alone. Some places we looked and were okay with were:
- Mission Village Club on International. Condos that some rent. Might have gone up now that luxury apts built all around it.
- Camden World Gateway on S International, her favorite. CM rent discount.
- Advenir at Broadwater. Older not gated but a good location on International.
- Alexandria Parc Vue at Lake Buena Vista behind MK area, some have firework view, good location, LOTS of CMs here, great amenities.
- Looked at several others that ended up being much more.
- There seemed to be nice reasonable ones on 27 in Clermont but we opted to stop looking at that point. She didn't want to be that far.
