What BestPlaces Users Say about Florida
Florida is a popular state known for its warm climate, beaches, and theme parks. However, it is also home to diverse communities and offers a variety of lifestyles. Many people consider moving to Florida, but with its large size and numerous cities, it can be overwhelming to decide on a specific place to live. BestPlaces.net provides a platform for users to share their experiences and opinions about living in different places. Here are four user reviews that offer insights and perspectives on living in Florida.
- According to "Samantha T.", who lives in Tampa, "Florida has been my home for the past ten years and I couldn't be happier. The weather is beautiful, the beaches are stunning, and there are endless activities to do. However, the cost of living can be quite high, especially in popular cities like Tampa. But the job opportunities and quality of life make it worth it." This highlights the appeal of Florida's natural beauty and activities, but also the potential trade-off of a higher cost of living.
- "John D." from Miami shares a different perspective, stating, "I've lived in Miami my whole life and I love it. The cultural diversity, food, and nightlife are unbeatable. However, the traffic and congestion can be a nightmare, and the cost of living is constantly rising. But for me, the pros outweigh the cons." This review showcases the unique aspects of Miami and the potential downsides of living in a busy city.
- In contrast, "Emily G." who resides in Gainesville says, "I moved to Gainesville for college and ended up staying for the community. It's a college town, so there's always something going on. But it's also a great place for families. The housing is affordable and there are plenty of parks and outdoor spaces to enjoy." This review offers a perspective on a smaller, more family-friendly city in Florida, highlighting its affordable housing and community atmosphere.
- Lastly, "Mike R." from Orlando shares, "Orlando is a great place to live for families and young professionals alike. The job market is booming, the cost of living is reasonable, and the weather is fantastic. Plus, having Disney World and Universal Studios as your backyard doesn't hurt." This review showcases the appeal of Orlando as a well-rounded city with various job opportunities and entertainment options.
In summary, Florida offers a diverse range of options for those considering a move. The reviews by Samantha, John, Emily, and Mike provide valuable insights and personal experiences on living in different cities within the state. The common themes of weather, cost of living, job opportunities, and entertainment are highlighted, giving a well-rounded view of what living in Florida entails.

Living in Florida - 3/8/2015
Well, mixed emotions about moving back to St. Pete. Lived their many years when my parents moved us from Mass. Loved it at the time, jobs can be tough, but retired now. I ended up in Ontario and moved back in 80's complained about how jobs were again, and health care and moved back to Ontario. Now thinking of being a snowbird in the St. Pete area. I have some great memories growing up in St. Pete, but it's not the same as it once was, and no family left, and rather expensive as well. So undecided again and don't think the wife is all that keen on it especially when we would lose a lot of money on the exchange rate. Maybe mexico, but still Florida is in my

Growing too Fast - 1/25/2015
I moved here almost 6 years ago, and Florida is really growing in population. There seems to be so much happening with the wildlife, water, fishing. It is not what it used to be. I love going over to the Ocean, but so much is happening there also. My husband wants to move elsewhere. Too many people,traffic is terrible,especially in the winter months. I have enjoyed being here, but Florida has changed......Medicine is outrageous,I am an asthmatic, that is why we moved here,It has helped me,but I guess I have adapted to the weather, because I am having problems again.Others may enjoy it, but Florida is NOT what it used to

Great beaches, sunshine and mild to warm winters lots of people are migrating to the Tampa Bay Area. This is not a retirment state anymore. Younger generations are moving in swooping up the metropolitan workforce. Florida has always been a great place to live.

Humidity, insects and tourists - 1/2/2015
Florida is an absolutely great place to visit, but living in the world's playground is less than desirable. Tourists, snowbirds, northerners who paid their dues in other states all contribute to the total lack of community here. Come visit Mickey Mouse and Shamu and the beaches, but I would advise you to research thoroughly before moving here. Most folks who relocate here are running away from something or someone elsewhere, only to boast about how things were in N.Y. or Michigan or Ontario.
