Good places to move to about 1 to 2 hours away from disney?

Question

I am a fire fighter and I live in Miami it is way too busy and crazy here. I was born and raised in miami so I don't know any places up north.  I was looking into some place about 1 to 2 hours from disney due to family members living there, but I don't want to be that close that they can come over everyday. lol! I'm looking for cities that are safe with low crime rates? cheap housing? good schools for future kids? jobs for fire fighters? close to shopping malls and grocery stores?

curently I would have to say I need a 1bd 1 bath room apt. max price would be like 750 maybe! if possible including utilities with washer and dryer.

I have no idea but any help will be very much appreciated!!

The Bradenton/Sarasota area is a great area to look around.  Manatee county has a great school system and as far as housing, you've got your choice of areas.
I know several fire fighters around town.  Some work on the mainland and others are out on the island.  They seem happy.

Have a look at Bradenton.  It's a pretty nice town. You should be able to get a nice apartment in your price range. Also they have vacancies (or they did have recently) for state certified fire fighters.

Otherwise check out Dunedin. Melbourne.St Augustine
