Not like it used to be 1.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jan 21, 2021) Sebring is nothing like it once was. Crime is higher, lots of drugs in the area. Everyday it seems someone hits a pedestrian and takes off. 27 fee!s like a major highway most days. Traffic is very heAvy here a nd people drive crazy! On a daily basis you here sirens from police, a ...Read More mbulance, and fire trucks because of wrecks or some other crime. There is nothing for the younger crowd bere. If you golf, fish or play bingo your good to go. The schools aren't very good here. Lots of stores have closed here or are about to close. It seems every time something gets to come in it gets shut down and doesn't happen.There are not a lot of job options. If your not a snowbird with a lot of money it can be very hard to make it here. Some of us are lucky and have good jobs and hang on to them. To do much of anything you have to drive at least an hour or more. You can't always get the things you need here and have to order online.I've been. In this area all My life and have seen the down turn of our area. Again this is my opinion. Things could be better here. Read Less
