Great place but not for everyone - 11/19/2022
I moved here from St Petersburg last spring. I came here because it’s quiet with very little crime. True there isn’t many stores and restaurants but property is considerably less than St Pete /Tampa. I’m retired so it worked out great for me. Only a few minutes from the gulf is nice too. Traffic is more than you would expect from a town this size though much of it is through traffic. If you like fishing, hunting and quiet …this is a great place. If you’re still working, not so great.

Awful if you're not retired - 9/22/2021
I've lived here for 18 years. Housing is expensive, extra gas tax, no shopping, no nice restaurants, nothing to do, low wages, nepotism is rampant (unless you're a good ole boy or a member of one of the families no advancement opportunities) No activities for kids, geared towards elderly population. Tons of old people every where, use to be a snow bird season, not any more, now it's just all the time. Driving is

Used Bestplaces.net To Find Inverness 5 Years Ago - 4/21/2010
Found Inverness 5 years ago using Google maps and Bestplaces. I took a look and told my parents, now they have moved to Inverness from New Jersey.
Climate: Beautiful winters, muggy summers. Great if you like sun.
Cost of Living: Everything is much cheaper than up north.
Crime: Not too much, some rumored meth labs. I leave my door unlocked.
Culture and Recreation: Can't be beat if you like boats and fishing.
Economy: Not too good, not many jobs, but doesn't matter much if you're retired.
Education: Not real good, but most people are from up north.
Health: Hospital in town, adequate doctors in the area.
Housing: Cheap, lots of waterfront with docks for your motor boat.
Politics: Not too conservative or liberal, government seems pretty good but not too intrusive.
Quality of Life: I think it's excellent. Not "big city" nor "sticks". Weather is great except when it's really hot in summer. Least likely

It feels like home - 3/14/2007
Lots of character to this small town. All of Florida is mostly senior citizens that is what you see mostly because they don't have to work anymore and they can go out to eat almost everyday and enjoy themselves. The young are working to get to that point eventually. Other then that a great area to live and retire for all

Great low cost of living - 4/17/2006
Overall, a great small community to retire in - definitely not a younger persons community for lack of activities and venues. Mediocre restaurants but good places to go within 30 minutes. Relatively good medical care. Weather can be atrocious (heat, hurricanes and accompanying
