Best part of Florida is the Governor! Pensacola is a nice place, has the water attributes of FL but much more livable than the central FL west coast. I live in Tallahassee but no water here, the Clearwater area is nice also.

Best thing about Tampa is it has an International Airport so you can usually get the heck out of there quickly.

Something near a desolate one traffic light town, where old men sell boiled peanuts and the black folks are friendly. Possibly near an inland lake, Apalachacola bay,maybe near some springs to do some clear water inland kayaking and fishing.



That’s just me. If you want a shîtty condo life, horns honking, spring break foolishness, Florida gone Freaknik, NFL football team jive…that’s all you


You're describing Sopchoppy FL.

Now isnt the time.

Florida and Arizona are great places to make a bundle on real estate.


When your friends are buying,
don't.

When they are selling "The Vacation Home" so their broke ass
doesn't lose everything in a down economy, buy.


Both are very vulnerable to economic fluctuations.

Further South, here on the Nature Coast we take our celebrations and festivals much more seriously.

I lived / worked in Florida for 42 years. Had enough… moved out 4 years ago. Don’t miss the heat, humidity, traffic and knuckleheads. My daughter / sil and grandkids are there. We can visit whenever. That works.

Whilton122, I guess my question would be why? If you can swing it, the thing to do is January-April if only to get out of our cold weather. That's what we do, but probably for only another year or two. Like others have said, northern Florida looks better to me with less people, better fishing, closer to better hunting. Prices down there are going up like a rocket, even in central Florida where we are in Poinciana. The wife says the housing prices are nuts there, but I tell her that we are looking at it from a Midwest income standpoint and those East Coast people flocking there are paying 4k a month just to rent and they want out of that rat race. We aren't beach people, but either coast is accessible in an hour or two. Going anywhere in central FL. you are going to feel like a minority, because you are unless you are fluent in Spanish. I wouldn't know how to hunt there with leaves on the trees year around. People target shoot there, but I've yet to meet a hunter. Traffic is awful and getting worse. Getting there on the Interstate is no treat either. We get the Orlando news and they can fill up an hour with murders, car jackings and assaults. Culture shock when they need to flesh out the half hour news here with the weather and high school football highlights.


My other auto is a .45

Poinciana? just outside of Kissimmee?
Yes, Yes, Yes, move there...



Nevermind the language being spoken in the public location this video was shot in, Poinciana is 56.51% White so you have better than a 50/50 chance of atleast one of your neighbors speaking English.

I went down there with my mom for a week back in 2008 and we found a place in Cape Coral. We should have bought 3 at the time a lot smaller then we wound up with to lease out as prices are crazy now. The population in Cape Coral doubles around Christmas and my parents say the toll bridge keeps some of the riffraff out. When the market changes we may buy down there again.
