Port Charlotte is pretty affordable now too for less than 200 k you can get a decently big house and a lot of younger ppl are moving in, but still super senior friendly
keep in mind too, people retiring want to be near beaches, restaurants ect.. so a place like Hawthorne.. wont do. most east coast areas are so expensive people just wont do it. And OF COURSE, you gonna get a newer decent house if your gonna retire..
Very thorough research, giving us many specific communities and even typical affordable properties you can look up! I can feel another trip to Florida coming on!
West Melbourne Florida. Close to great hospitals, two malls, a lot of restaurants. Close to Cocoa Beach, Kennedy Space Center and one hour from Orlando
I appreciate all your insights about issues i didn’t ever even think about in considering in looking for a place in Florida ... like places with high crime, drug trafficking and racism in certain neighborhoods. Thank you
Oh, remember gated communities come with fees.. usually 2,700 to 6,700 at most yearly .. hopefully. that pays the golf courses, lawns to get mowed, security, ect. HOA
Just a note on Port Saint Lucie..it’s actually separated into two parts, the city and the county. The city has it’s own police force. The Western section of the city is newly developed with plenty of shopping and restaurants. There’s also a section called Sand Piper Bay to the East which is the original planned community. It’s quiet and surrounded by gold courses, lakes and ponds. The county on the other hand is older and policed by the St. Lucie Sheriff’s Dept. The homes there tend to be more affordable.
Let the haters hate. They “want their towns back.”😢🤯 Those trying to “get away from ‘them’ “ are delusional, and are waiting for the 30’s...the 1930’s. Even many who live in Celebration realize you can’t create an isolationist utopia. Keep up the videos, you are usually spot on.
Jose I'm just saying it would be cool to see Frost Proof Florida a little more but, I get it it seems like a Long Drive my Friend. Still would be awesome to see !!! Also Jose in the Driving always Open with Hey TH-cam Family it's your Favorite Florida Driver Jose from Naples and KAT .... HAPPY NEW YOU BROTHER 2020 IS GOING TO BE AWESOME !!!! Cobra : )~
My daughter lives in a Port St Lucie beautiful home $228,000: veterans’ mtg! She is 1/2 hr from Jensen Beach’. There are many huge ‘Gardens’ with many types of Bamboo, bromelades, cacti, Palm 🌲🦚🌵🌴! It’s amazing the beautiful parishes, the vets and offer it up/let it go: totally you will find many ‘treasures’. Peacocks’ crossing; this state respects all animals + the gorgeous iguana’!!! Very friendly grocery stores and, even Christian dentistry! One of the most enjoyable places I think that are always more than friendly~~~. the WAWA’S: fuel, immaculate restrooms, fresh hot coffee, yummy breakfast, lunch & dinner bowls with awesome cold drinks (shows calories), friendly and helpful neighbors❤️✝️😂🐶🐶🦎. Clean beaches as well🦀🐚
I got to say Beverly hills is a very quiet and small town it's boring but if you want to go to Crystal River it's 20 minutes away it's 30 minutes to the gulf it's very affordable. It's also 45 minutes away from Ocala Florida Wich is where you will have to travel for work if your not retired
All types of odd news stories of violence and drugs originate here 😐 but yeah i drove thru often and it “looks” quiet. Seen hand to hand sales at the gas station all the time.
Jose Great videos you have , definitely helps me figure out where to go and not go to live .thanks for what you do . im in nh right now but looking to move to a good neighborhood in the future . very helpful
Love to hear your thoughts on Madison. I lived there for a few years with my mom & couldn't wait to get back to south of the Caloosahatchee river again.
gonna get my first SSI check, worked as Nurse Aide or Customer Service of some kind over 40 years, and am getting less than $1000.00 a month. So there are poor white retired people who have to still work, I do at least part time. Living in Hudson right now and our land lord lowered our rent to KEEP us here. As seniors they like that we are not destroying the property, and do alot of extras like the yard work. My 81 yr old husband still mowing the lawn as we cannot get anyone to come by on regular basis, the last guy spent along time looking thru my bathroom medicine cabinet while 'using the restroom' . And he LOOKED GOOD!! Fooled me.You are correct about alot though...its too bad. Quick story: I was loaning my car to my friends son for a date, and when he got in and heard the music on the radio, he suddenly changed it to a country station because I was listening to that "other music". A black station, I am white, yeah it shocks me too...LOL!
In Beverly Hills Fl you have Pine Ridge Estates that the houses are better than Citrus Springs! Pine Ridge Estates backs up to Black Diamond. Good homes there. The south side of 491 is the poor people houses but the north side of 491 is the Pine Ridge Estates with houses from $250,000 to $900,000 which is not poor people houses. Check this out next time you come this way! I enjoy your channel! Thanks!!
Ocala should be on every ones list I am here for eighteen years,own my condo paid little for a three bedroom,it's beautiful HMO is great,talking about hurricane I've no experience of that, so come on visit OCALA.
I love your adventure stories man. I'm looking to move from Texas to Florida in a couple of years. I want to try to get into the Villages. You have any videos on it?
Be careful ... The Villages is the STD Capital of Florida. Who knew old folks were so frisky! Seriously, I hear it is a very serious problem. An older nurse I knew lived there and she said it was disgusting. She regretted moving there.
This video is a joke, right? I am looking for cheapest places in Florida to RETIRE. Why would I be buying a house at 65 years of age?? I'll never pay the mortgage! Buying a house on my social security check?? RENT!! Retirees are 65 and over, for the most part. This video made me laugh, lol.
Nice area. I did a video of the green swamp way at the start of my channel somewhere. Traffic in lakeland SUCKS. lots of drug use but in a gated 55 plus your home should be safe. Lakeland is nice. other than the traffic. you will see lots of drug lifestyle antics out there from time to time.
You are wrong my friend! Sebastian is not the place to be!!! Do you realize that we have 25,000 people here now? Vero Beach has 16,000. All the shopping and entertainment is there. We have nothing! Just houses. A terrible place to live!!! Please don't put our name on the list anymore. Please. Please? The fishing is horrible! The traffic... horrible. The tourism? Horrible! The crime? Horrible! And we want to keep it that way! No Sebastian!!!!
Do you really think you can be able to change the future with your mouth? There is no stopping what is coming. I personally offer THE TRUTH to HELP people. You lie to people because you want that little town all to yourself. You wanna own sebastian? BUY THE WHOLE PLACE. And make sure when you die who ever inherits it doesn't sell it for something better. Can't afford the whole town? that shut up. The place will do what it wants. Florida is heading down that direction you cant and wont stop it. I just moved to alabama and even here growth is unstoppable.
SOUTHERN HOOD VLOGS , a little touchy aren’t you? It was all tung-in-cheek! You had better get over it living in Alabama son! Or your life will not turn out as you want it to be. Sebastian is a wonderful place. It is growing way too fast but that’s the way it is! Settle down pal.
My mom wants a house under $100k in a safe neighborhood near the parks. 2-3 bedrooms and 1- 1/2 bath not falling apart, but in good shape. Is there such a place?
the further WEST you go, the better. the EASTSIDE of the city limits get into some pretty RAW urban hoods, east of city limits pure slums - stay as far west as possible
I have lived in Florida for over 50 years and I can not wait to get OUT of Florida. There is nothing cheap here, you need lots of money, housing is going through the roof try to find a 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a 2 car garage for under $300,000. If you do, it will not be in a nice neighborhood and the crime will most probably be on the higher side. I can go on and on with all of the ligate reasons why NOT to move to the land of Hurricanes AKA Florida. It is not worth it.
your right, the people who have all the money dont consider the working class. they spend $400 on a glass of wine and than want to pay the guy cleaning their homes $20 less than the price quoted. I ve made more money in Alabama than i ever did working for the rich in Florida. horrible people. the more they got the more ridiculous they get
YOU think like poor people. These old rich people got 6 bedroom houses for two or one old person. Who will mow the lawn? are you serious? NOT a SINGLE one of these old people mows their own lawns that's for BROKE people.. a mexican that works for some landscaping company will mow the LAWN! you have no idea how these retired rich people live. The nothing that these rich people will mow their own lawns, that right there lets me know you HAVE NO IDEA how the rich people who retire here in Florida live. lets say you wanted to buy a 2/1 NEW in Florida.. oh wait, YOU CANT.. that does not even happen.. only 3/2 houses are built. you just dont know. Dont assume I am stupid, assume you have NO idea how the rich people live. 1/10 people or 1/5 households in this county are MILLIONAIRES.. thats NEW WORTH, LIQUID.. ready to GO.. that does not include the guy with only 798,0000... thats just MILLIONAIRES> you think they gonna be worried about WHO or HOW much lawn? PLEASE! you jsut dont know!
thanks for the 411 appreciate it and Le High? lot of crime, it floods, and the school arent that good why'd you wanna live in Le High when you can live in North Port and Cypress Lake is awesome! Best Schools GO Harlem Heights!!!!
you people need to show ( for a change). 1 bed room places & under $1,000. Do you people only think rich people want to move to FLORIDA. also retirement cheap places, in nice areas. even Detroit has them. no mobile homes.
Port St Lucie - North Port - Frostproof - Sebring - Cypress Lakes - Sebastian - Yulee - citrus hills - Spring Hill - Bokeelia (pine Island)
Thank you!
#Jose, you have to write a book about all these experiences!!
Port Charlotte is pretty affordable now too for less than 200 k you can get a decently big house and a lot of younger ppl are moving in, but still super senior friendly

Hi! Do you have a video about the best places to rent a 1 bedroom apartment that’s in a safer area for someone on a low income in Florida?
Just a note on Port Saint Lucie..it’s actually separated into two parts, the city and the county. The city has it’s own police force.

I appreciate your honesty.
Bradenton/Palmetto is a great place, affordable, shopping restaurants and close to the beach.

Great Job a lot of background info very informative

ocala has many great people, but sadly even more drug addicts and beggars, sorry.
Golden Gates Estates it is. Sounds like heaven.
Which one do you say is the safest?
Bokeelia, North Port, Port St lucie. PUNTA GORDA is the safest city in Florida according to statistics. Naples and cape coral also very safe/

always nice to learn! thanks
Tornado experts call mobile homes "tornado detectors." If there is a tornado around, the mobile homes will disintegrate.
I don’t care, I don’t expect to be there in the summers or during hurricane season.
Sir is there a place not too far from Hollywood Florida has night life restuarant malls affordable I not want to be in a retirement community
Interesting/amusing story about the lawn mower and the woman packing heat, only in Florida...
🤣🤣🤣 Saying I am from kentucky LOL - too crazy
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you were smart helping her, showed you had class and restraint.
john public not really, shows SHE HAD A GUN 🙂😂😂👌. I am a very calm person under preasure. 🙂
How about cheap land to buy in Florida that not a wet lands or have restrictions
Any place that is good for retirement for =
Belleview (in a 55+ community). Certain parts of Ocala.
Whats the difference between affordable and cheapest video you did?
This video is a joke, right? I am looking for cheapest places in Florida to RETIRE. Why would I be buying a house at 65 years of age?? I'll never pay the mortgage! Buying a house on my social security check?? RENT!! Retirees are 65 and over, for the most part. This video made me laugh, lol.
What do you say about Lakeland? Considering a 55+ community north of Lakeland.....
Nice area. I did a video of the green swamp way at the start of my channel somewhere. Traffic in lakeland SUCKS. lots of drug use but in a gated 55 plus your home should be safe. Lakeland is nice. other than the traffic. you will see lots of drug lifestyle antics out there from time to time.
My boyfriend has a monthly gig at Cypress Lakes 55+ community, it’s a gem. Wonderful people there...
Indian River county has high property taxes!
Love the lady with the gun.
