NSB: A CHARMING, FUN, LAID BACK, BEACH TOWN! - 9/1/2021
I am originally from CT. I moved to Estero ( near Naples, FL) in 2002. It was nice but there was barely any cool weather in the Winter. I was 40 when I moved there and people were calling me Sonny and Kid. Yep a lot of retires. 41 is basically the main road other than highway and off season it's a quick ride from Ft Myers to Naples. In season a five minute ride can turn into a 30 minute ride. I left and then moved to Lake Mary / Sanford FL. It was a great place to live. A lot of major companies have their headquarters there so I worked in Insurance, then moved into wealth management. It's located basically 30min between Orlando, Disney and Universal and Daytona Beach. Again traffic and be relative. I have made it to Downtown Disney in under 22 mins on a good day. One a bad day 60 to 90mins. The biggest problem with FL and traffic is while people are looking at billboards, attractions etc. they get into really bad accidents. Keep in mind many foreigners drive when the visit and it's

differences of opinion - 11/29/2009
My wife and i are relocating the the east central coast of Florida very soon, most likely somewhere between Port Orange and Vero Beach. I just find it incredible that one person calls New Smyrna Beach a horrible place to live(evidently never experiencing what life is like in a truly horrible place), and other call it a wonderful place to live, commenting within a month of each other. I can understand some difference of opinion, but horrible to wonderful? Very

a fun place to grow up - 3/21/2009
New Smyrna Beach is a real gem. that is if you don't mind rain every day in the summer for atleast an hour. it is a very humid town so expect to run your AC every season except winter. over all everyone is pretty nice. it is a fairly right winged and religion is a big issue with people and can seem to be rather narrow minded at times. moving from santa cruz ca to nsb fl while in high school i noticed a change. nsb is a good place to raise a family although i would rate the education system as poor, they are safe schools and you can learn good social skills.there is high crime among kids. and a lot of locals feel that the drug use is very high in this town. i think that's a joke coming from santa cruz. And if your not from the south you will be shocked at how old fashion new smyrna trys to stay. but its paradise that doesn't come at as high of a price then California... i mean there are no parking meters in town. all paring is

The Best Small Town in Florida - 10/7/2008
My wife and I moved here in 1999 after looking for a community to relocate to from Miami where I was a long time resident. Our search took 5-years and fortunately paid off. New Smyrna was the perfect match for our interests and desires. Highlights include great opportunities for outdoor recreation including cycling, golf, surfing and fishing; easy access to the local government and its services; cheap good food; and a sizeable liberal
artsy-fartsy community to play with.
Downsides are high real estate values (we moved down when real estate was relatively cheap), limited opportunities for employment, and the lack of adequate local health

Horrible place to live! - 4/10/2007
I have lived here for 6 years now, moving from the midwest and east coast. Things have been on a rapid decline even since I have moved here. This city is so expensive that unless you are from the upper east coast (ny, pa, nj) and just come down as a retiree, there is no good paying jobs. This is also one of the LOWEST paying counties in the state. Most are "snowbirds" who come down for a few months and live in their second homes or RV's. The city makes a good show to them that this town is active with holding art shows, a car show, and various lame fests. (if you have been to one...that is plenty). Then the rest of the year, they do NOTHING for the locals, except overcharge us for everything. Not to mention that the grocery stores, gas prices, etc go up conveniently when the tourist season begins, so the locals have to once again suffer for their greed.
The police and fire department greatly abuse their power. I see the fire trucks using their fire vehicles 3 TIMES A DAY to run
