For many, Florida has become a preferred destination. There is the warmer weather, easier lifestyle, abundance of activities including theme parks, fishing, golfing, boating, and strolling on endless white beaches. But before you pack your bags, sell the house, and load up the car to move let's take a few moments to explore other attractive points that draw people to the Sunshine State.
1. You are not the only one moving to Florida.
Florida boasts 11 of the most populous metros in the U.S. 9 of them are among the 25 fastest growing in the nation. Each year the migration to Florida stretches the population, now topping over 21 million.
2. Variety of places to choose.
Many people are attracted to Miami, which is not only a major international business zone, but is the 8th most populated metro in the U.S. If the robust lifestyle of Miami and South Florida is not your ideal, then perhaps the panhandle (Pensacola to Jacksonville) would be more to your liking. Key cities like Pensacola, Tallahassee and Jacksonville offer the small city vibe. Central Florida is the epicenter for major amusement parks like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, and the Space Center. Orlando is a gateway to Central Florida. Just a little further north in Ocala you will find "horse country" and Silver Springs State Park.
3. Other key factors that draw people to Florida
- The cost of living varies depending upon where you live
- The state offers new residents a diverse lifestyle
- The state attracts a significant number of retirees
- New home / apartment construction is booming
- No state income tax
Not certain that you want to settle in Florida, then let me suggest you spend a little time in the state exploring its treasures. You will find what you are looking for in Florida!
