Best Places To Live In Florida

What’s your favorite place in Florida? Do you already live in Florida, or are are thinking about moving to Florida? If so, where are you thinking about moving? Why do you think Florida is a great place to live? Let me know your thoughts!

Being in the tech industry, I've lived in many areas of Florida since 1992 including Tampa, Orlando, and West Palm Beach. I'm in Sarasota County now and it is by far my favorite place to live in Florida. Much less traffic than the bigger cities. This was a very informative video. Thank you!

I'm a Florida resident for 30 years. Lots of sunshine, plenty of restaurants to dine, grocery stores to buy produce in addition to Farmer's market and beautiful beaches to relax and enjoy. A secluded Fort Desoto beach south of St. Petersburg is one of the best place to enjoy alone, with family or enjoy the place with friends. Named best beach in the Unites States in 2006.

Got to add Hallandale Beach Florida beautiful city good beaches and restaurants and growing businesses and communities and a good nightlife.

I think a few thing that should be referenced along with the average home price is the average home owners insurance price along with flood insurance & the new home owners roofing policy. These are huge ticket items that can not be ignored when it comes to budgeting for living moving or retirement in Florida. Great video & truly informative

Very good information. Thank you for sharing.

Don't get me wrong I have lived here all my life & I love my city, Miami, and I love the State of Florida. However, it is not as paradisiacal as people make it sound. Due to the influx of people & merciless builders, Florida is super overcrowded. Take Sarasota where my son lives. Traffic there is really bad and not a day goes by without an accident on I-75. I live 10 minutes away from downtown Miami where I work, but it takes me at least 45 minutes to get home due to the traffic. Yes, it has beautiful beaches, but good luck finding affordable parking in Miami Beach. Builders & Realtors misinform people in order to make money. Do your research before moving down here folks!! The grass is not always greener on the other side.

Homeowners Insurance for a 500K home can be as high as 30K a year. Yes, that's 2500.00 a month. And they just raised property taxes to an insane amount too. Just insurance for your car is higher. People are being forced out of their homes, and losing everything they have in life savings trying to pay their bills. Why not talk about that? You look online and the prices for these things are not accurate. As soon as the house sells, the price for those things change dramatically. And HOA's are tripling as well.

Great video and very helpful. I spent a year on and off in Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers. Still can't decide which coast, they both have wonderful things about them. I'd love to move to Florida eventually and would like to airBNB in several places first to be sure where I'd like to be but I loved everything you said about St. Petersburg. Sunny weather is first, then the favorable cost of living and tax savings...and dog friendly is a plus! I'd also like to get a good sense of what the people are like before I make an investment. Thanks again!

great video!

Yes in Titusville

That was a good video. First time I've ever seen you.

Great video, I be moving to Florida this coming fall,

Very helpful!

Love your informative video! I had planned to purchase a home in Venice near Sarasota, but home prices escalated. In August 2021 I purchased a home in Panama City about 13 miles from the beach. This town is growing considerably and I would like to move to another part of the state to a less populated area. I'm considering Pensecola, Venice or other towns near Sarasota and possibly the east coast like New Smyrna or Coa Coa Beach. What are your thoughts on Venice and East coast beach towns?

I’m thinking of moving to Florida. I love the video. Thank you 🙏

There are currently 141,852 homes for sale in Florida. The median list price in Florida is $465,000 and the average price per square foot is $235. That being said, most homes are at or above the $500K range now in 2023.

Excellent video.

Awesome. I have been looking at Fort Pierce/Vero Beach area.

My home has been Ft Lauderdale for 25 years. In that time, I've also lived in Tallahassee, Sarasota and Tampa. I like Ft Lauderdale but it's grown quite expensive here.
