Mrs. Jetcareers is right on what she wrote. Kristie, you would not believe all the growth that has taken place in the last three years, around Oviedo, Lk Mary, Heathrow, and Altamonte Spgs. locations. There are numerous apartment complexes within a 10-minute drive of the Orlando-Sanford airport where DCA is located. I suggest that you stay in one of the hotels that have weekly/monthly rates, for a week or longer, until you and the wife decide on what is best for the family. There are two long-term hotels near the Sanford Mall, east of the I-4/ Hwy 46 intersection. The monthly rates for an apartment varies, so look around before you sign the lease. South of the Sanford area, along the 417-toll road, are numerous apartments. The commute would be easy, however the $1.50/each way, bridge toll, is a wallet killer. I use the 417-toll rd. during my commute. The Lk Jessup, Lk. Monroe bridges reminds me of the Fl. Keys, water included. It’s not unusual to go across the Lk. Jessup Bridge, in the morning, and see wild gators lurking around the shoreline. I would ask the DCA peoples for a list of friendly apartment complexes that give discounts to their students.
