My sister lived in Pensacola for about 8 years and then in Cocoa Beach for another 8 or so.  I visited many times and enjoyed both places plus some trips down to Miami.

But I do not have any plans to move to Florida.

I go to North Port each January (south of Sarasota) and it's obvious how many new subdivisions are going in there with cookie cutter houses behind walls with no yard to speak of.  I can see the allure, you probably have a golf course in there somewhere and a club house.  It seems a bit unvaried and sterile to me personally.  No income tax is nice.

The prices seem to have gone up a lot also.

Most do not.

Punta Gorda has a lot of courses within developments. Mine included.

We have our week ending banquet at some development that has a golf course and country club setting.  The food is, well, mediocre, but they're serving about 100 folks.

So, yeah, probably only a few have a GC.  Maybe they have a club house and pool.  The signs out front advertise things like $400s or $600s, they aren't exactly cheap.

There is no "cheap" here, unless you want to live in the middle. The coasts are where the money is - East in particular, in the 3 counties.

I'd live in the middle with a mediocre golf course and a clubhouse with a decent bar and OK food

cause it would have to be "cheap"

You just paid more $ for a freaking car than what a house in the "middle" costs down here.

We've been going to Anna Maria Island for 10 years.

I always thought we'd buy eventually but I'm kind of shifting to explore mode. We tried Aruba this winter and got a few more spots we want to see.

Five more years until the kids are gone so who knows how we'll feel at that time. Might be priced out of AMI by then.

Ideal scenario would be residence on the gulf side of Florida and a cabin in the Driftless, most likely Wisconsin side.
