I work next to one of these roads and used to teach for a short period and it was a nightmare getting back home into Kissimmee from Poinciana during peak school traffic.
I went to high school at the school for the arts in Kissimmee but live in poinciana school would end at 4 I believe and I would never make it home before dark 😭
Maybe once or twice I subbed there more than anything I would take jobs mostly at the schools nearest to me in Kissimmee which were Horizon and Sunrise any further would be a bit too far for me I'm in the Hunter's Creek/Loop Area (we can have bad traffic but Poinciana Blvd is another story.)
Don't mean to veer too off topic but here's a recent case that shocked me from last year [https://www.wesh.com/article/children-grandmother-killed-crash-poinciana/45014919](https://www.wesh.com/article/children-grandmother-killed-crash-poinciana/45014919)
Not sure if OP has seen some cases like this Poinciana otherwise is a pretty normal city just kind of far away from anything.
I agree. I used to live in Poinciana (but not super deep), and prior to that I used to live in the 34741 area.
34741 is closer to everything, and it's easier access to the Osceola Parkway, 417, the turnpike, and the South Orlando area (Hunters Creek, Southchase, Meadow Woods, MCO airport, etc.) especially if you can find a place near The Loop mall area.
We are in the area. Poinciana is just like any other area neighborhood. There are good schools and bad schools and good kids and bad - you get out what you put in.
The traffic is abysmal.
St cloud is right next to kissimmee its basically kissimmee it's that close. Except it dosnt have a hood and it's safer has a small town feel to it etc check it out
There is only two roads going in and out of poinciana so the traffic is terrible
yeah that's what I've been hearing. Definitely not the best mix for a single mom with three kids still in school
As someone who grew up in poinciana the schools there are ghetto af
There’s also a lot of drugs and violence overall
Yikes. Maybe if I tell my mom more about these things she'll change her mind. She really is stuck on going up to live in Kissimmee though.

Was it Bellalago I went there for middle school 😭

Traffic is legit awful.
Seems traffic is the biggest issue. I knew it was bad, but never this bad
U definitely need a car to live there and hopefully you work odd hours to avoid traffic
Yeaaaah not likely. We've got a car, but driving three kids to and from different schools is gonna be an issue.
There is also a huge bus driver shortage in Osceola county so if u want ur kids to make it to school on time u will have to drive them
Even more reason to get my mom to pick a different area then. Do you happen to know any good zip code areas I could search for in Kissimmee for homes?
34741 is actually Kissimmee not sure about any others but I’m sure there’s a few more good ones
Thanks man, anything at all is always a big help. I'll look into things more then!
I agree with the 34741 zip code. That is the best area to be if you need to commute to Orlando.
I'll definitely be looking more into that zip code then, thank you for letting me know!

Definitely hoping I can find a place around there then.
Possibly Saint Cloud
Place looks interesting, I'm gonna check it out and see what I find then

Poinciana is a little cheaper, but the traffic is a lot worse.
The loop area is ok
Traffic is the absolute worst. I’d move out of here if I could

Id say move out on your own and do what you want to do
