Florida is renowned for its stunning beaches, warm climate, vibrant cities and growing tech community like Miami, Miami Beach, Aventura, and Fort Lauderdale. However, in recent times, the cost of living, including housing and food, in these bustling urban centers has surged, primarily due to the pandemic-induced real estate boom and increased traffic congestion.

Are you considering an alternative that offers a more affordable lifestyle without compromising on amenities and proximity to the ocean? There are various appealing living options in Florida, mostly in less urban cities that have less residents.

Two good examples are the lesser-known cities of Palm Bay and Cape Coral.

As a retiree or someone who can work from anywhere, these hidden gems provide the perfect blend of tranquility, access to nature, less traffic and reasonable living costs.

Palm Bay is located on the East coast of Florida, between Orlando and West Palm Beach, while Cape Coral is situated on Florida's West coast, close to Fort Myers.

Several clients of mine have recently decided to leave the congested cities of Miami and Aventura to live and work in less urban and more peaceful cities, especially in the Orlando area, close to the local lakes. I helped them sell their homes and they seem very glad to have made the move without having to start a new life in another state or country.

If you're contemplating the idea of staying in Florida and want to explore these cities further, I can assist you in selling your current home at the best possible price. Moreover, I can guide you on other cities and countries that offer less traffic, an attractive lifestyle and even more affordable housing options.

Together, let's embark on a journey to find your ideal haven in the Sunshine State!
