A move to Orlando promised an ideal lifestyle with sun and beaches, but high home costs and harsh hurricane seasons proved challenging. After relocating from California in 2019 for career opportunities in Atlanta, familiarity drew a couple to explore the offerings in Orlando. While the attractions and climate initially delighted, the reality of significant rainfall and other issues led to disillusionment after a few years. Ultimately, living in Orlando was not the dream it initially appeared to be, prompting a reevaluation of long-term plans.
Living in Orlando felt like heaven on earth to me, but the honeymoon phase ended after about three years. Although I love visiting Orlando, living there wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.
Since Florida is nicknamed the Sunshine State, I didn't think to look much deeper into its year-round forecasts before we moved. We enjoyed a lot of sun, but in our first year as residents, I was shocked to discover how much it rains in Orlando.
