Plant City, one of the best places to live in Flor
-
5/9/2006
Plant City is East of Tampa by about 15 miles and West of Orlando by about 40 miles so everything is close by but not too close. Hurricanes haven't been a problem due to the location of Plant City in the state. By the time a hurricane gets to you it is no more than a category 1 and the trees shake a little. I know of no sink hole problems in Plant City and there is continuous building of new homes. The weather is mild until July and then the temperature and humidity soar until around the end of September. The cost of living is fairly high and jobs are abundant. Many people move to the area every day which makes me wonder when the city will be stuffed to capacity. City water in Florida is extremely expensive but the electricity cost isn't. My 2000 sq. ft home electric bill averages $140 with my water bill as high and sometimes higher. Living outside the city limits does away with the high cost of water/sewer/garbage. All in all it is a great place to live but it is getting too hot for me! I'm looking to head North to a cooler climate.
