Other factors to consider when retiring to Florida

Where you choose to retire in Florida may involve other factors entirely.

Do you have family in Florida? Do you want to be near Orlando so your grand-kids can visit and go to Disney? Do you like a more relaxed lifestyle or a party lifestyle? Miami's South Beach and Key West aren't right for everyone, but they might be right for you.

How about activities? If you like to golf, do you want to live on or near a course? If you like to fish, do you want to be on the water?

If you decide to move to Florida, we wish you lots of luck. One thing's for sure: you won't be alone! Florida is getting crowded!
