Thank you for the video! You didn't mention snakes so I am happy about that! I am a 43 yr. old single woman who is seriously thinking about moving to Ft. Lauderdale. I don't drive and I don't want to so I am a little nervous that you mentioned needing a car. I am hoping to move fall 2024. I will call you when it gets closer to the time! I want to rent - not sure if Victoria Park or Downtown is better. All I want to do is walk, drink coffee, go to the beach, learn how to speak spanish and play pickle ball and be happy. Please keep posting your videos! I feel that I get the "real" scoop from you!
It might sound crazy but I am planning to move in fall 2024 to the Fort Lauderdale area if nothing changes. It would be great to connect if you'd like.
We definitely have snakes…many native and invasive species. Born (in 1980) and raised down here (and can’t seem to get away, no matter how hard I try). I’m cool with snakes, but definitely don’t recommend moving down here. Ft. Lauderdale Beach sucks - the shore line is no wider than a residential street lane. Also, very over-populated. The suburban sprawl is vast, but property taxes are extremely inflated. The climate is no longer desirable, and if you’re not comfortable with reptiles, stick close to the coast - unless you’re near a canal - the alligators are far more dangerous and prolific than the snakes. Great cultural diversity and food options, though. This video is clearly made by a transplant - if you want the “real scoop,” trust a native.
as someone who’s lived in fort lauderdale for my whole life, mosquitoes and the heat are definitely the biggest thing of this place. alligators are really not a huge issue unless you live on a canal or near the everglades
I've lived all over the country and I now live in Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale is the closest thing I've found to living in New York City except it never gets cold and there is no state or city income tax. People who move here from other parts of the country sometimes have trouble adjusting to the fact that we have people from so many different backgrounds and cultures. But I really don't hear many complaints from the locals about living here. Most people seem to really like it, but of course people who can't stand hot weather probably don't live here anyway.
Funny you say that because I’ve been saying since I moved here that Fort Lauderdale reminds me the most of North Jersey out of anywhere else in South Florida
I wish I bought when I moved to Fll in 2018. Prices are so high now. Covid made everything double or triple the price. I’ve been trying to buy around las olas. Renting right there in just wasting money but I can just walk outside and feel like I’m in Hoboken. I kick myself all the time. I don’t even mind a town house but not these crazy prices:(

Another issue to consider is climate change. Environmental attorneys recommend that those who own property
Fort Lauderdale is a very nice place to live the night life is awesome

Actually, you're right. It's more like Northern New Jersey than New York City. Good call.@@livingsoflo
@@SoFloCo-ne4rkthat’s why Fort Lauderdale is garbage

Hey Rose, it depends on what affordable is to you. There's many different locations and prices range between 100k-400k
@@livingsoflo how about the crime in Century Village?
Only reason I won’t go to Florida is because I do hvac and refrigeration and will not work outside during the summer in Florida haha
It's brutally hot over the summer!
Oh that’s where I born to live
I’ve never heard a Floridian use the word “suburbs.” 😂😂😂 what the heck.

Those iguanas are too much. More people needs to eat them
I hate them
Dude....we're full down here. Stop encouraging more people to come here. WTF😒
