Review of Fort Lauderdale, Florida


Are you sure you want to live here??? READ THIS!!!
Star Rating - 9/3/2006
I've been living here for the last four years and trust me unless your are planning to retired to south florida or are over 55 and you are looking for a quiet nest then this is your place. However if you are young, have the chance to move to someplace more interesting and hate hurricane and really hot weather this is not for you. Life is not that expensive but quality of life is not that great, job market sucks and the public transportation as well. You are gonna need a car here!!! Beaches and night clubs are really good. Life is in slow motion. There are lot retired people down here so is really normal to find people over 80 driving by themselves or shopping at local store daily. Summer is just HOT!!! and humidity is awful, winter are likely to be cool. Hurricanes are the main topic between june and november, trust me you are gonna get to see all types of categories of hurricanes here, is awfull because everytime ones comes the city literally shoot down. Can be insane. But if you are willing to try it go ahead!!!
