Gogo's take on Rosemont
“Go with care. Rosemont is primarily a residential community surrounding Lake Orlando, but it experiences above-average rates of property crime and occasional violent incidents in concentrated multi-family pockets. Visitors coming for local community events or nearby lakeside parks should stay alert after dark and avoid leaving valuables in parked vehicles.”
Local law enforcement continues targeted patrols in northwest Orlando corridors, including parts of Cinderlane Parkway and US-441 bordering Rosemont, following sporadic firearm-related incidents and vehicle burglaries.
