Dunedin, FL Reviews

Nickel and Dime me to pieces - 4/29/2017
Dunedin is a great place for people who want their town to provide a lot of entertainment. There's something going on almost every single weekend if not every weekend. Be prepared to pay and pay and pay. Dunedin is the only small city (town) around that charges for parking. It has a charming downtown but the shops aren't cheap. I small spice jar is $14 plus parking and shrimp from the fish market is $19 a lb plus parking. The seasonal farmer's market is wonderful and you can get eggs for $6 a dozen. There are a few great little spots so it's not all bad. The weather is warm pretty much year round and maybe a little hot in the summer but they have AC everywhere. Insurance is outlandishly expensive compared to most of the country and property taxes seem about the same as what I had in the north. It's a dog friendly town and you can bring your dog to just about every event. There are some areas that I'm not sure I'd feel safe alone at night and if you check the sexual Read More

Flori-duh - 9/18/2013
I have been researching other places to live, particularly SC. Dunedin represents it self as quaint and livable and it is but something misses. I've been here 10 years and look to leave FL for many reasons. Fl is a place where people come to relax and let others do the work. The no income tax issue is a joke, Fl gets you in so many other ways. Bring your car?, Fl considers it a new car in FL so you will pay FL tax on it. etc! I am not totaling bashing my area, it is ok, I'm just looking for more.  Read More

Great city to live in but......................... - 5/5/2007
Dunedin, Florida is a great city to live in but..........it is in the wrong state. Let me explain. The state of Florida is in a state of crisis. The real estate taxes are out of whack and the real estate insurance is in even a worst condition. The powers to be in Tallahassee (State Capital} are trying to solve the problem but without much luck. Because of hurricanes in recent years, private insurers are downsizing their exposure. We have had Allstate since we moved here 20 years ago and we just received notice that our policy will not be renewed. As for taxes on real estate, it is the most messed up in the nation. To find out more, if you know anybody that owns property in Florida, give them a call and they will explain it to you.
Now as for Dunedin, it is the greatest city in Florida. Again, just ask anybody that lives here. Come for a visit and you will see for Read More

Dunedin is a great place to live , but home owners - 12/21/2006
I was born and raised in the the Dunedin area. It is a wonderful place,with warm weather , beautiful beaches , and plenty to do. The recent hurricanes have caused home owners insurance to skyrocket. Also , property taxes are going up a bit.For example ,property tax for one year on my home with an assessed value of $105,700 - $25,000 homestead exemption was $1599.69. My home owners insurance was about $1200. for one year, and we hear it's going up again.Sorry to wine about this , but this issue has most of the locals quite concerned , and some, down right angry ! Dunedin is a great place to live ,and if you don't mind the recent cost of living increase , come on down , or up!
