- 10 Cheapest Places in Florida to Buy a Home. (nice places)
Welcome back. Let’s take a look at Florida.
Affordable housing in nice places is getting harder and harder to find these days.
Today we will list 10 places in Florida that are affordable and still a nice place to live.
So what is affordable? Well, that would be places that have a cost of living and housing around the national average. What is a nice place to live? That will be a place with a crime rate and unemployment below the national average.
We also look into how the locals grade their town or neighborhood.
Florida has a great housing market if you know where to look. If you are from Florida you may already know about these places already.
Florida has been gaining population for the last few decades and it really doesn't look like that will slow down anytime soon.

For 2023, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the housing market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.
@Craig Daniels Given current recession pressures, it is unlikely that the stock will yield substantial returns in the near term. However, it may be a suitable investment opportunity. I will monitor market conditions and consider purchasing when there is an improvement in the relevant economic indicators, any idea which stocks this may be?
@Craig Daniels You are right! I diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above 1.3m in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds .
@@tatianastarcic magnificent! can you please share more info on the coach that guides you? really could save me much
@@richardhudson1243 Having a counselor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor is Melissa Scott Glazner who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.
I agree. Things are very unstable and unpredictable. Someone once said what goes up must come down. Personally I see this annual increase in home prices of like 15% a year (absolutely insane) crashing and stabilizing back where it was supposed to be (3% annually increases)
When did $350,000 for a 3 bedroom home become "cheap?" Insane! I bought a 3/2/1 with a gorgeous stone fireplace on a 1/2 acre lot in Ocala - great neighborhood - for $135,000!
When? 2020.
Which is so sad.
Good for you, Charlene!
I bought a 3-2 in Zephyrhills in 2020 for $125k .
2020
Exactly
I've lived here all my life and the cost of everything has gone up 200% in the last 7 years. 7 years ago I paid 850 bucks a month for a beautiful 2 bedroom condo 3 miles from the beach. Same place now is over 2000 a month! And no wages haven't gone up. They only increase, if you're lucky, by 2-3% every year. I am thinking after living here all my life I might have to move when I retire. Retired people are moving away from the state that's known as the retirement state! 🤨😵💫🤔😳
Yes, very sad. I live in Jupiter. Rents are up by 60-70%! It’s insane!
Yes it's crazy!! We don't make enough to live here! It's all these people moving here because there is no state tax making everything go up. I'm looking for second job right now.
Too many morons are moving here from everywhere and killing it for us!!
I'm a native Floridian and I wouldn't live in any of those places he named.
Am so sorry to hear that It’s just awful it’s because of all these fuckers from everywhere moving here !! They are kicking us out . This is Despicable
We need a new update for 2023, prices went up like crazy
Grew up in Winter Springs*** nice town, enough amenities, nothing stands out but it checks the boxes and 20 minutes from Orlando!
I had lived in the Tampa Bay Area for 25 years. It’s mostly flat with little in the way of scenic topography, the beaches are not very interesting, and the variety and amount of bugs are way worse than in the tropics where I now live. The politics of the state are insane. I would never move back.
Super surprised that Yulee FL wasn’t on this list….low cost of living, great schools, low crime, and close to the ocean!! It’s a growing community with more retail/shopping being built rapidly, along with parks, trails, and lots of outdoor activities for everyone to enjoy!! ☺️
Aye I live there!!
I bought 3/2 new construction for $248k last year. Only 1222 sft single level w nice backyard, extremely low hoa and 10 minutes from beach. I love Nassau County. It’s now over $310k…and it hasn’t even been a full year.
Shhhhh 🤫
I avoid Yulee at all costs! They have crammed too much into too small of an area. Traffic is a joke now. Yes, I live in Nassau County.
@@blessedbloominghomestead9134I agree. I was shocked
I’ve lived all over the United States, Florida is a paradise to retire to. There’s something for everybody. Especially artists’ groups.
Hello👋dear, how are you doing?
It truly is. For all age groups. For seniors too. With the tech, hospitality, tourism, agriculture industries booming a lot of jobs for the working age group people too. Many cities offer affordable housing prices.
I'm in west palm beach, everything has gone up 50% all the new Yorkers moving in. 1 bedroom apt that's on the outside of the ghetto is $1800! Studios are literal boxes in someone's backyard that have no kitchen (no fridge/ sink/ oven) nothing. As a single mother, I am hemorrhaging money. I don't go out at all. And thus brought me to this video of trying to figure out where to move. Thank you!
Yes, I agree WPB, entire Palm Beach County is very expensive. Been here more than a decade now and finding it more and more pricey here!
Being a Floridian all my life, these are not the cheapest places in Florida to live..... you are way off the mark
North Port isn't bad if you compare it to the price of Tampa, Orlando, and other bigger cities in the state. But yeah, Florida is starting to get really expensive.
I would love to hear some recommendations on less expensive places from a Floridian. People joke about Floridians, I love you guys!
He added some additional stuff. Like crime rate. So pretty much nice and cheaper places to live.
@@justcurious4756 But Tampa and Orlando are more desirable places to live than the cheaper places in Florida.
Agree
The places in Florida that people actually want to live in are expensive as hell. The inexpensive places are generally nowhere near the coast and have little to no industry. Great if you’re retiring on a budget but if you’re hoping to get a job that actually plays well, you won’t find one.
Agree, safe areas of Tampa bay you have to be ready to pay at least $2k/month for a 1 bedroom, anything less and you are In a sketchy area or right outside sketchy areas so careful your car doesn’t get stolen.
I liked Florida a lot when I lived there but you couldn't even find a job at a 7 11 in 2008 don't know how it is now had to move back to NJ to get work but miss Florida for a number of reasons
Fun fact about Lake Jesup: it has the highest concentration of alligators of any body of water in the world. If they all came of the water at the same time, you could cross the entire lake from one end to the other on alligators backs. It’s 13 miles long.
Unfortunately these places are getting more expensive.
There are no separate towns near Jacksonville, all of Duval County is called Jacksonville since consolidation in 1968.
I live in the panhandle of Florida in a small town named Defuniak springs. We have a fairly low cost of living. There are many other places in Florida other than central and south Florida to live. Amazing that there were none of them on this list lol
You still have cold weather
That’s because the types of people the panhandle has.
Not a fan of the weather, but Florida does have an amazing Governor, probably the GOAT for FL.
Grew up and traveled FL growing up. Couldn’t pay me to even visit after seeing the rest of the USA, or even the South East US. Sorry. Cost of living to wages and housing not worth it. You guys can keep it.
I grew up in Florida and we truly don't need anybody else moving here! I wish more felt like you.
I checked out 'all over' FL about twenty years ago, when searching for a new place to live, leaving an overcrowded SO. CA. I fell for the area west of Ocala after seeing the 'horse country. But then the real estate woman who was a native said if you see a puddle of water assume an alligator is living in it, but you will be ok. That and watching the weather channel and the storms I opted for a flyover state in the middle of the U.S. with lots of rivers, lakes, and tall trees. Am very happy with the decision. Much lower cost of living and very low crime in the rural areas.
Where did you move if you don't mind to say? I was thinking about buying in FL, but to be honest I'm scared of the alligator population. I wouldn't mind cold at all, at long as its safe and in the cheaper side. This 395k it isn't for me ay all.
Yes I'm curious too 😊
Ya agreed but no jobs out there sadly
Lived 30min north of Tampa for over a decade and enjoyed every minute. But now there are so many people moving to Florida its not nearly as enjoyable as it once was. Traffic everywhere and they expect many more moving in for years to come. You can only cram so many people into these areas.
Agree, I cringe having to just go down the street to the grocery store, too many people from all other states that move down here to escape their problems but bring their problems here; I’m planning to leave 2022
Which area?
Y’all are going to become another Texas soon then..
I live in South Venice, Florida in Sarasota county.
North Port, Florida is also a part of Sarasota county!
North Port is probably the fastest growing community / City in Florida!
Six flags once considered building a Six flags in North Port, Florida!
When I was a kid in high school North Port Florida was all dirt roads, partially paved with plants growing up through the asphalt!!
Now 25 years later it is one of the fastest growing cities in Florida and one of the largest cities, per acre!
You're still close to the Gulf of Mexico but it's a 30min drive.
We made it to Florida and now we are following your guide knowledge
Not only is there Wilber by the Sea, but also we have Howie in the Hills.
I have to Google that, ( Howie in the Hills) I'm interested in how it got that name
@@bigmamassoul8323 On May 8, 1925, Howey-in-the-Hills was incorporated as the Town of Howey. In 1927 the name was officially changed to Howey-in-the-Hills, to reflect the location of the town in an area of rolling hills.
St. Augustine, Palm Coast are nice places to live.
Keep that quiet!
Your idea of cheap and affordable is not the same as mine, but thanks for the tour.
Compared to other parts of Florida, like Miami where houses are easily $700k for a starter home, these houses are cheap and affordable.
8:05 as a former resident of Rockledge,Fl it's a nice place to live. It's mainly a city with families and the older crowd. so I wouldn't recommend anybody under the age of 30 to live there. I recently moved from there but loved being able to be less than 30 minutes away from Cocoa Beach, Patrick air force base, and Cape Canaveral.
As a fellow Floridian local to Miami, it would be helpful to note what is the employment / job market like in each of these cities. So you can live there, sure, but what are people doing? Also, for those traveling throughout Florida, there are three major climate regions of the state, with their own characteristics, from North Central and South Florida future a diverse range of population and price ranges for whatever lifestyle you like to live by the ocean!
North Florida is better (Friendly) than South Flordia( Rudely) !
You’re right cuz there’s too many Yankees down there.
Awesome list ! Well done !
Native of Virginia from the lower peninsula and now I reside on the Treasure Coast in St.Lucie county and I personally really like it here overall!. I enjoy the St.Lucie West area and Tradition area, as well driving down the A1A and going to Jensen Beach. I would say Port Saint Lucie is relatively safe for its population and the county as a whole although I’m not crazy about Fort Pierce. I do like the close access to the I95, US1 the Turnpike and the A1A. There’s a good bit of stores, shopping and food places to venture to. As for houses it’s going up and houses are always being built on any land that can be used. I lived for about a year so I’m still learning so much about the region, but I’ve loved Florida ever since I was kid, all in all I’m content👍🏾
Hampton??
@@rodneyhoward8423 no sir born in Newport News, but lived in York county, Williamsburg/James city county and chesterfield county
I worked at St Lucie West in 88 and 89 and there was nothing else on that road between 95 and the turnpike. I went there a year ago and couldn't believe it
Any house in Florida built in 1995 or after by law has to have hurricane straps on the trusses that connect all the way through the walls to the foundation. So roofs don’t pop off anymore, unless you are on the coast and get a direct hit. Then your whole house is gone.
Tavares, Del Rio, St Cloud, Port Orange, Longwood, Oldsmar, Rockledge, Secret Cove, Winter Springs, North Port. Cool!
Thanks man. Have a bless New Year'
I'm a Floridian and I love your videos😁 Just one correction, Lake Jesup is chock full of gators so I wouldn't recommend swimming in it!!!!
I live in Tavares, Florida. Yes it's a great little town. Actually I think the population is 10k but doubles in winter. We are the sea plane capital of the US. I live on the lake and it's very nice. Yes we have about 4 very large lakes here, though there are over 1,000 in Lake County. Major bass fishing competitions here too. We live 7 minutes from Mount Dora. Crime is low. House prices fairly reasonable, depends where in Tavares.
I take it the homes are cheap in the center part of Florida like okeechobee
@@floridaroadways No, not cheap. Okeechobee is in the South Central area I think. I live in the central part between Tampa and Orlando, right in the middle of the State, 1 hour to either Atlantic Ocean or Gulf. Coastal South Florida tends to be most expensive and areas close to Disney.
@@sandrabentley8111 it’s cheap compared to miami. If you buy a 3 bed house in miami it’s cheap. In okeechobee it’s a good buy for 3 bed. True south Florida has the most expensive homes. I wouldn’t mind buying a 3 bed for $390,000-550,000 in miami but prefer Key Largo.
My buddy and old president of my company I worked for just opened the Twisted Biscuit diner there!
And about the employment? Easy or fair
just hearing you is so funny.... in a great way! i love this
Greetings from the PPRC GOOD video. Looks nice but couldn't do the humidity.
Hurricane Ian wiped out so much of North Port, close friends can find no evidence of their home.😢
Sorry to hear about your friend's loss.
I live in Tavares and it is central florida 36 miles west of orlando, residing in home of 20 years. Royal harbor 55+ community ( i am not in that age bracket yet) but nice community.
Im glad he didn't say any of the nwf area because we have some.of the worst houses around here running for $350k. I was looking the other day and there was a horrible and I mean absolutely disgusting trailer for $250k and it was built in late 1970s. Apartments here for a 1 bed 1 bath run for $1500 and our housing is 18% higher
I've lived all over FL for the last forty years. The most accurate information is in the comments
Yes. Exactly!! I've been all over and.. this dude is wrong.
Florida always has a higher unemployment rate than the national average :/ it's tough to make it here if you are not retired and living off of a big lifetime savings because of intermittent unemployment. I work in the fashion Industry and have lived in FL for 20 years but when I do find myself getting laid off or the business I work for closes, I find in FL it takes much longer to find a good job than in other states. The incredibly low $275 a week maximum re-employment compensation in FL is pretty cruel. Come here with money if you want to avoid a crisis from time to time.
I live in the Secret Cove area of Jacksonville. Definitely a great place to live. Nice mix of single family homes, condos, townhouses, and apartments. Shopping nearby at St Johns Town Center, and Avenues Mall. 11 miles, 17 minutes, to the Beaches. Better hurry though. My condo has increased in price by 50% since we moved back here in March 2017.
VIP
Agreed Jax has so much value. My mom n dad lived in Switzerland off 19 for a while. She says only buy in st johns never Duval. But I beg to differ, I like san marco too
@@jonathansansone8025 - I think you meant SR 13. I used to live in Mandarin, and frequently rode my bike through Switzerland to get to Orangedale. It’s a beautiful ride. San Marco is also a great neighborhood.
@@danielwyvern8892 yes my bad, i knew it was in the teens, great area
@@danielwyvern8892 What about Arlington and Regency?
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you for your info on 10 cheapest cities in Florida. Live in Orlando rent is too high looking at other options.
Longwood is ok just you feel kinda like being in a forest. Try Altamonte springs which nice, Sanford is ok, Apopka, avoid pine hills as that’s just a dump.
Florida has become an area you can only buy a house if you sold your house in another state and moved here
I would never ever ever ever move to the MIDDLE of the state of Florida.
I have been working in the Industrial Construction business, out of state (FL). Seems like rent and housing cost have been going up for the last 10 years., a decent home in Florida is costing around $250,000 up to 325,000 Dls.
One of my my best friends from college lives in North Port nice laid back town! in between Fort Myers and Tampa and close to Sarasota so the drives up to the city aren’t bad or if you want to go a little further south aren’t bad but Siesta Key and Englewood beach are really nice as well!
What??? I-75 has some SERIOUS traffic jams down that way!!
You gotta put Hallandale Beach Florida and Hollywood Florida on this list .
If it’s not Texas or Florida I won’t live there. Give me sun and warm weather all year. Good video Briggs 👍
Last year, Ocala, Florida was the 5th Fastest Growing City in America. It's got the beautiful rolling hills of Horse Country to it's west, the Ocala National Forest to the east, and is just over an hour from either coast. There are some of the best natural springs in Florida nearby, and the population of the city itself is only about 60, 000.
Wait... I shouldn't have said anything about it! To be fair, it's north central Florida where Walmart, pick-up trucks, gators, and swamp buggies rule, so just forget I mentioned it.
I've been living in Ocala since 1996. I hate it but it's hard to leave. It's like a black hole. There's not a lot going on here which is why it's nicknamed "Slocala". It is home to ADTR which is cool though.
I have nothing against Ocala but every time I pass there on I75 there's always a traffic jam
Its amazing just how much building and growth there is!! Rt 200 completely packed! More and more housing being built!
True, the I-75 exit to FL200 backs up often, same with the Belleville Exit with all the building going on there now, and Im not just talking The Villages...
Ocala is the hottest and coldest place in Florida.
Moved from Colombia to Miami and live there for 4 years, moved to Orlando and we've been 1.5 years and it was the best decision ever made. We just purchased a house in Sanford and we can't wait to move again.
You enjoy moving??
I heard Columbia is mostly pretty nice these days. The drug cartels and the communist rebels are mostly subdued. I heard this about 4 years ago, probably.
Love the downtown Sanford vibe with all the restaurants, bars, shops and vendor markets. There is always something happening in Sanford - such a great place to hang out on the weekends.
There are no Cheap places to live in Florida . Those days are long gone .
I live in boca
So true
We live in North Port and we love it here!
Ah, Lake Jesup. Such a great lake for tourists to go swimming. . .
🤣
LOL! You will need to be Indiana Jones to even walk near Lake Jesup and I am originally from Michigan living in Florida now 10 years!
I hear only Democrats are allowed to swim there. I used to live in Lake Mary. Love the big lizards in Lake Jesup.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im a Floridan The funny thing is that people keep thinking “what about alligators!” “crocodiles!” especially Hurricanes(Their not that bad I promise) yeah if your walking your dog I would advise staying away from a lake espically if theres signs that theres a possible aligator or is a perfect home for an alligator to stay for a while someone from your neighborhood post on your neighborhood s comminuity website said that she thinks she saw a alligator sunbathing, I would just change the routes taht I usally walk every day with my dog so he dosent get dragged down into the dirty waters also! Tampa I dont know if its a good place to live yet but for me its pretty good.
1. Hurricanes
2. 0 snowy winters, the only seasons are summer and fall. Both completely unwantedly overinviting things
3. Tied to #2 it is far far far far too populated just like California, Texas, and New York
4. It will flip like a coin from affordable to unaffordable (just like Arizona did right after Biden became the president)
5. Too too too too many mosquitoes (I can tolerate reptiles and arachnids but not cockroaches and mosquitoes)
About hurricanes not being "that bad" I just don't believe it. If it can break down my house along with my treasure inside of it (or cause something else like a tree to break it), shut down all my power, and even kill me like a tornado can then for me it is not worth living where they will be
You can't be a native Floridian. You are too literate and they would NEVER encourage people to move here. By the way, if they are native Floridians, I'm a native American.
Hush!! Keep some of the FL secrets a secret.
I like how he picks places no Floridians live. None of us pay that much to live here. Lmao
Show me. I’m looking to move there. Because I know you guys know the deal
@@neikadavis7693 You wont regret moving to Florida. Forget all the negativity in the national press about Florida. It is a really nice place. Just research a lot of places online and then your heart homes onto one city or region. Then research more and you will know which place you want to call home. Then look for home to rent or buy and settle down. Every region has a very different vibe. South Florida [Miami/Ft Lauderdale/West Palm beach] totally different from the Orlando area which is very different from Tampa/St Pete. Then there is Destin and many wonderful cities on the panhandle. Then Sarasota, Naples and a ton of cities on the other coast/Gulf of Mexico. Not to forget Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, and many other charming towns.
I live in Tampa Fl and it can cost a lot. I rent a condo 4/2 for $1800 a month in Carollwood so yeah and rent is still growing higher & higher
Im from Longwood and you showed some of the worst photos of it. The historic district is so cute and we have weekly farmers market and craft fairs. Its super close to entertainment and only a 30 min drive to downtown Orlando.
Also like to add, it isn't super friendly for poc in some of these towns listed. Just an fyi.
Too fumny - I'm in Lake Mary and thought the same thing - horrible way to show off Longwood . Same with Winter Springs which is super cute. Oviedo, Lake Mary and Winter Springs are always chosen as one of the best places to live.
I live close to Winter Springs. It’s very pretty.
True Floridian and your prices are way off. There are much better places that could’ve been on this list. The best place that you have on here is probably Ocala and even with all of that all of these places really don’t have anything and they have to drive extremely far to go to places which is a given the more rural you go. Orlando has lots of options for either shopping recreation etc. just to crowded…bottom line once you stay 45 minutes out from the city center of Orlando you’re going to do bulk trips to the grocery store.
*I was in Tavares the other day it’s ugly hell over there. No good jobs.
*I hate Jacksonville 🤮
*Ocala is cute but too close to Kissimmee/Poinciana which extremely congested
*Port orange is full of trailer park home.
*Longwood is just bland.
*Winter Springs is cute but not much there.
Jackson ville is the bomb!!! Lived there for about 10 years
Thank you so much for this video World According to Briggs. Florida is my absolute dream state to live in.
Why?
Why wouldn’t It be? Endless parties and things to do, warm all year, and all the sunshine I could ever need. Who wouldn’t want to live there?
I visited St. Augustine and really like the place. I just look around at prices to live here or near by. I just visited and move on to my cheaper states the Carolina's.
Actually, Port Charlotte,FL #1. No city taxes and lower county taxes. 2miles South of Northport (used to be North Port Charlotte! hehehe)
Port Charlotte housing is more expensive, Charlotte Co. schools aren't as good and frankly it's kind of played out - there's no room for growth. Port Charlotte is quickly becoming a bedroom community to North Port since NP (which is already bigger than Port Charlotte) still has a huge amount of buildable land.
Del Rio gla
Thanks. Im retired in Mexico, but lived in Orlando, N.Miami Beach, Cross Creek, and Was retired in Key West until Irma. Been watching you for years, but never commented b4. Namaste
I was going to retire in Merida. Where do you live?
I grew up in Wilber - by the Sea, its great no condo. It's only about a 2 mile long. Lived on the beach. !!!!!
I love watching your videos but the picture you put up right before Del Rio , this is funny now , but it's my neighbors house in LONGWOOD Florida lol . Got your pictures mixed up maybe lol. Not bitching it struck me as funny, when those folks move they take it all hahahahaha
Nort Port, FL has very high property taxes and in the property taxes they are paying for a hospital that is in Sarasota, FL that people in North Port. FL don’t even use. They normally end up in one of the 4 hospitals in Charlotte County, FL
Love ya Briggs, but what about Hurricanes?!!!
Keep ur videos coming.🎄👍
Ocala had less of that. Don’t know if it’s on this list.
Hurricanes are not as bad on east coast or even central Florida, but in central florida it’s more humid, but east coast gets hurricane weather of course. Mostly wind and rain, But we don’t get the severity of it like the gulf does
@@deewilson446 yes ! thank you, oh yeah i lived up north for almost 8 years it hated it, (vermont ) the people were as cold as the winters, itried it, hated it, and their summers are 90s+ and humid humid ! kinda like middle georgia summers, im in georgia right now helping a relative, but im headed back home to florida (east coast ) end of this summer, i cant wait !
Love the vid. So happy to see my city is number 1. The boom of construction here shows people know about it.
If it's in Florida and cheap, you don't want to live there.
no muzzles and better than a blue state
Nah man.
@@pixelsticks8637 yep. Some people look for freedom of choice in their housing options.
@@darinp5612 yep...for the win!
I lived in St Cloud its pretty good, safe beautiful and yes many insects.
I bought an older condo (3/3, 1700 sf) here on the south side of Jacksonville (Baymeadows area) in 2019 for $145K. Quiet neighborhood. The unit next door is the same floor plan (mirror image) and needed some work. It sold for $225K a couple of months ago. The new owners have renovated it and just listed it for rent at $1,975.00 per month. There are a lot of new housing starts in this area, as well.
Wonderful video
No hurricanes for moi. Thank you!
I enjoyed this video so very much. Thank you. Listening to the crime rates it got me wondering where the lowest is...you probably already have a video for that so I will look around on your channel for it. Also where are the least expensive homes...decent ones, move in ready if nothing else mattered and someone wanted as much home as they could afford. I love your videos!
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Frostproof Florida should get honorable mention.There are 4 cities in Florida that start with Winter,Winter Springs as mentioned in this video.Winter Park,Winter Haven and Winter Garden.
Winter Park is beautiful, but may bankrupt me.
Yep. Grew up in Winter Haven. Went to school close to winter Park and winter Garden.
I enjoy the scenic highway SR 17 that goes through Frostproof. I drove through there -- took the scenic route -- on the way to Lake Wales from Lake Placid.
The best place I found to live is in my van down by the river. waterfront property no hoa no property tax can't beat it
You mentioned Jax twice: When you were really were describing two neighborhoods or developments. Ditto for Orlando. Some of these I would describe as towns and not cities.
Nice...I've been following you for 2yrs
Awesome! Thank you!
My dad lives in Northport and loves it🙃🙂
Some of the most recent infamous murderers are also from North Port. Must be nice 🙂👍
We just moved there and love it!!!
Nice video! I live in Florida in the New Port Richey area. Oldsmar I wouldn't really say is cheap, but it is a very nice place and highly desired. North Port is definitely a cheaper place that is a decent place to live. They have some beautiful beaches down in that area around Sarasota.
I have seen North Port in the media alot in the last 5 months. Looks nice to live.
Lake wales, fort Meade, Dade city, Zephyrhills, Quincy, Mulberry
Omg Winter Springs is #2!!! My home city
Seems like everytime someone starts talking about Florida there is always mention of a gator chomping somebody. It always makes me chuckle. However nobody ever talks about how many pit bulldogs attack somebody maybe in Illinois or Indiana.
Yes, makes me crazy! Always some gator ringing doorbells, walking across golf courses, or something! And hurricanes! As if there is a hurricane weekly in every neighborhood in the state! But the dumbest statement I've heard so far is someone saying they'd never live in Florida because of the love bugs. 🙄 Never have seen one myself but know of them and no big deal. I lived in Texas over 30 years but never saw a scorpion, armadillo, or tumbleweed. People can say what they want. I'm happy in Florida!
@@dianaoliver8493 I live in SE Georgia....I see lovebugs in my part of Georgia at certain times of the year...I always say to my husband...they need to get a room....haha....I travel and visit Florida often all the way to Key West. I love the rolling hills of Ocala....reminds me of southern Indiana where I grew up....We have alligators in my area of SE Georgia....I am about 2 hrs from Savannah....Live in a small town of about 20 K. Nice little town, close to interstates, major cities in Georgia...Good spot, decent cost of living....and 2.5 hrs from the Florida line....I won't be moving to Florida, just visiting...I am close enough and the climate is similar in many respects especially in summer.
@@eh4236 Wow! Small world! I was born and raised in NW Indiana, about an hour east of Chicago.
My in-laws live in an area in Florida where lovebugs are more commonly seen. Still never bothered me. What I hate is skeeters, lol.
Lol @ get a room!
I’ve Lives in Florida all my life 41 years I’ve never seen it like it is now inflation has takin a new meaning and before long everyone will be broke .
Congrats on 700K🥳
Thank you.
The first thing, or I should say person, I thought of when you said the name Wilbur was Mr. Ed's owner. 🐴 😊
Kissimmee is having a housing shortage because of everybody moving there. There are tons of homeless people in hotels and motels because of this and rent for a 1 bedroom is 1000 and up and good luck even finding that because unless you're rich and can afford to buy your own house there you will be most likely renting a room from somebody in their house for between 700 and 1000. I'm from kissimmee.
Florida sucks i rather live here in new jersey the money is fast and better
Facts... All the homes are bought up by snowbirds and outta towner's... Who THEN double the price of their mortgage... So they get renters to pay it off while profiting... Good luck getting anything done if something goes wrong. And 192 is nothing but smacked out people nodding out at every bus stop... And every motel is infested with dope and the Star motel had about 100 people squatting for over a year after the owner cut the water and power off ... Ahhh good ol "Disney magic"😏
@@keegandelaney1535 thats why i moved back to texas wher the money is good orlando is a crap town i wouldint live ther if u payed me
I have been in Florida 6 years my apartment went from $800 to $1,400 and they are raising it again I can’t afford it my pay rate never went up
@@Amylynnp777 i left florida because low life new yorkers are trying to change the florida rules im glad i dont have to deal with that anymore my sister and brother inlaw are in tge process of changing that now with the housing lot of east coasters wont live ther long
In 1990, I bought a two bedroom, 1 bath ranch in Beverly Hills, Fla. Citrus County. for $30,000 even! I sold it in 2004,
for $55,000! The neighborhood was fine, 10 miles from Inverness & 14 miles from the Gulf! I recently heard that
these same houses are selling for about 100k, so why wasn't that area included in this list? Personally, I think that
Florida housing is just going through one of its "price bubbles" which will evaporate, leaving new buyers losing equity!
Probably not worth living there according to the list.
1990…
I lived in floral city 1987 till 2001.
I live in MN I like warm weather but I don't want to be worry most of the time because alligator in my kitchen or in my back yard or walking my dog but constantly looking around because there's alligator might drag the dog , no thanks it's cold here but it's peaceful and safe in my town
Finally someone knows of Tavares !!!!! Go lake county🎉🎉🎉
My family lives in tampa and I moved my stuff there from wisconsin then a hurricane went thru and i move my stuff back up to wisconsin it's a lot easier to move snow then to constantly rebuild a house let alone the insurance cost more cause of Hurricanes
😂😂😂😂😂
good point
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
We are going to Florida for Christmas, we are bing watching your videos 👍
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs Can you please investigate where the biggest expat communities in Mexico are? Especially the one where Jessie Ventura lives, or an expat agritopia in Mexico on the ocean. OR, a special on agritopias in the US, like the 'One Small Town' Ubuntu startup near Austin, Texas?
I'm thinking I could live close by for way less and have lots of Americans living nearby, so I won't feel cut off from the US like I did when I spent 15 months in Mexico City.
Next time check out Gainesville, Florida!!!!
Beautiful place Florida
Love Florida, I live in Safety Harbor (across the bay from Oldsmar) as a 23 year old male and I bike everywhere and everyday is a dream. I just don’t understand why people complain about it so much, cause shocker the whole state is very different everywhere you go, and when I travel I find something cool off the beaten path. Idk I just tell people give it a try, cause Florida right now is growing. And I personallly think for the better, I have friends from all over the world and we all are on this adventure together and there is so much to do. Right now there are so many new shops and restaurants popping up (Thank you Governor DeSantis!) even my neighborhood has homes that are being renovated or even new homes. It’s very exiting being apart of the growth of Florida and you will never get bored.
This sounds like the type of place I’m looking for, for a temporary time. My worry is being bored(which no offense, most of the places I. The video looked that way) and not having easy access to everything. I need to be close to the ocean, good public transportation as a back up, lots of diverse stores and people, and plenty of nature(that’s actually enjoyable vs everything wants to eat you) 😝. I live in a very metro area outside NYC so there’s always something to do ;). Also a very safe are is a big priority to me.
@@erinaustin2157 Safety Harbor is very safe and nice. In Pinellas County if you ever get bored, it’s your fault. Nature is beautiful here but if mountain hiking is your thing then I would not recommend it.
@@retiredpornape Agreed, Pinellas County has a lot to do. There's some pretty bad areas to avoid, but most of the area is still pretty safe.
@@erinaustin2157You're in a metro area, so you are used to slow flow of traffic. Mixah's bike seems like a good solution to me. I don't know about public transportation because I've never relied on it, but things to do in The Tampa metro are varied & plentiful. Nature abounds and if you leave the gators alone, they'll leave you alone.😉
@@erinaustin2157 Yah I grew up in Fairfield County, Connecticut. I was very close to Boston, Philly was a 3 hour train. In Florida, the Tampa airport is 20 min way, downtown is 25 min. Hooneymoon island is 15 min away, same with Clearwater beach. Saint Pete is 35 min, Sarasota is an hour, we have weeki wacki an hour away with it’s beautiful spring. Orlando is 2 hours away and Miami is 4 hours away. Traffic In the area is very timed in Pinellas county, so just know when those tiems are and you can somewhat avoid traffic. I would say everything is SUPER accessible. My suggestion if your looking at the area. I would avoid anything below the gulf to bay road line, So good towns are Dunedin, Saftey Harbor, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, East Lake, Odessa (more land for your money) and Oldsmar. Right now Dunedin has about 10 new shops being built, they have a brand new city hall which is beautiful. Idk I’ve been here 4 years and I’m still finding new things to do. Connecticut was getting boring and unlivable with its taxes
It sure isn’t Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach County. Miami my home town since 1956, moved in 1982, but it’s extremely expensive to live in these three counties.
What county is Davie in and what are your thoughts?
St. Cloud used to be nice but it's just another Disney outpost now. Takes an hour to go anywhere due to traffic.
I believe there’s a lot more cheaper areas to live in Florida then the ones mentioned here
You are correct. Every single town he mentioned is at least half way up the list.
Places are cheaper for a reason that could be everything from low unemployment to pollution there is not such a thing as somewhere nice and cheap in America because of cheap financing
