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.

Citrus county, FL (a better place to live?) - 11/11/2010
I highly disagree that Citrus county is a better place to live. It is a bad place to live. One is dictated at every facet of living or improving ones life or property. Just to do the simplest task must be done with the purchase of permission, or permits according to a "code". This county is a leader of having become a dictatorship aligned with that of Germany some 70 years ago with storm trooper enforcement goons tramping on your personal property (without permission) hiding behind the excuse that a neighbor tattled on you. The inquisition if you will, searching behind every tree, under every rock, and interrogating as they go. The citizen is a criminal in their eyes and they will prove it according to every ridiculous and demeaning "code" a commissioner can dream of and hustle through every other Tuesday at (when?) 1PM on your work day afternoon.
A good guy, bad guy scenario is in existence in Citrus county whereby the neighbor whose friendship you should be

Re; News Flash - 10/30/2010
Just when you think the State of Florida is all that and a bag of chips, you better second think that coming here to Tampa, Florida. First of all let me start by saying, NO real JOBS/Jobs period, False advertisements on employment, Very discriminating here amongst your experience and race. Even in 2010, the city of Tampa still engages in discriminatory hiring practices. This particular state is definately a retirement home for seniors with no real night life. No 4 seasons,but summer all year long with constant raining just about everyday in different locations. All in all there appears to be no

South Florida Economy - 8/26/2010
Everytime I turn around, another restaurant or store has shut down. People are leaving south Florida because there are no jobs. Many houses are in foreclosure or have "short sale" signs on the front lawn. It's very depressing. Also, if you don't speak Spanish, you have little chance at getting many jobs. The only thing going for south Florida is the winter weather. Other than that, it's not a good place to

Clean and green - 8/6/2010
I currently live in south florida and I love it. Everything is so clean and green and well landscaped. There is so much to do. We moved here from Massachusetts and are very happy to not have to shovel again! However I am really not liking the humidity. It is very very hot during the summer, which is better than the snow but its getting to be to much!
I would say the quality of our life is better in Florida than in MA. There is always something to do
