8 Great Reasons to Move to Florida!

1. First off will  have to start off talking about the beautiful weather. For the most part Florida's 6-month summers are warm with blue skies throughout the state, which is attributed to the fact that no point in the state is more than 60 miles from Atlantic or Gulf saltwater. That also means that no matter where you live in Florida you are no more than an hour's drive to an gorgeous sandy beach. Winters are mild with occasional cool to cold air. Coastal areas tend to be slightly warmer in winter and cooler when it comes to the summer. With the exception of Hawaii, Southern Florida is one of the warmest places in the United States in winter. If you are tired of the snow than how can you not love it here!

2. Having no personal income tax in Florida, which means you get to keep more of what you earn. Oh, don't forget to ask about the homestead tax exemptions.

3. The prices of homes in Florida may not be the cheapest in the nation, but look what you get for your money. It's Florida! Compare the benefits of living in Florida with any other state and you'll see why Florida is the best choice.

4. Florida is the home of several fantastic theme parks including; Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, Sea World, The Holy Land Experience, Weeki Wachee Springs, Silver Springs Nature Park, Fairchild Tropical Garden, Miami Seaquarium, Parrot Jungle & Gardens, Lion Country Safari, Butterfly World, Monkey Jungle, Flamingo Botanical Gardens and Wildlife Sanctuary, Everglades National Park, Key Largo Undersea Park & Molasses Reef, Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. This list could go on for pages but we think you get the picture.

5. Fishing. Fishing season in Florida is all year long. Florida has its share of world record catches and more than it share of fish altogether. If you like to fish, saltwater or freshwater, this is the place. Here you will find all types of great catches. Come sink your line here and pull up a whale of a time.

6. Florida has a over1,197 mile coastline with 2,276 miles of tidal shoreline and 663 miles of beaches. Alaska has the longest shoreline of any state, but you probably wouldn't want to go swimming there. The Florida Beaches are among the finest in the world. In fact, Florida beaches are on top ten lists every year. Florida beaches generally have warmer water when compared to the rest of the US. Surf tends to be higher on the Atlantic coast with relatively little surf on the Gulf coast. Surf temperature is warmer on the Gulf coast throughout the year. The sand is finer and whiter on the Panhandle beaches of Pensacola, Panama City and down the Gulf Coast of Clearwater Beach. Beaches on the Atlantic side are darker in color with a coarser texture, and Daytona Beach's hard packed sand is suitable for motor vehicle traffic. Isn't it time you sink your toes in some sand.

7. Those concerned about top-notch healthcare will find that since Florida is a major retirement area, some of the best medical centers in the nation are here, with some of the latest technology and treatment programs available. Along with the top hospitals in this area, you will be able to find all your Health care needs here.

8. Tired of all the snow, chaining your tires before a drive or shoveling your driveway. To some, this is the biggest reason of all. Remember, you don't have to shovel heat! These are some of the reasons to move to Florida, but whatever your reason, Florida is a Great place to live, work and play. Check it out, you may never want to leave!
