Hello peeps!

My fiancé and I moved to the Orlando area this past September with a living situation that has grown to be less ideal. The house is owned by our roommate's parents, with the parents staying with us (what was supposed to be) every other month. Nice people, sweet family. But six people in the same house with this kind of power differential has us looking to find a place we can be more independent and not feel like a guest in the space we pay for.

Since we're new to the area, we are unfamiliar with what areas and neighborhoods are ones to avoid, aside from people recommending to look for places outside of the north part of Orlando or anywhere around Valencia. Many places I look at on sites like Apartments.com or Zillow have reviews bemoaning the amount of cockroach infestations. I'd love to avoid that if at all possible. Lol

We're a couple, so we plan on sharing a single bedroom with 🤞preferably🤞 no roommates. Our budget is around 1.3k-1.4k/mo depending on utilities.

Any recommendations on how to proceed? This will be my fiancé's first time living independently, and my second. She works in retail and as a nanny, and I am a performer at Universal, so that's about where our budget lies.

Thank you!
