Naples
And no, we do not mean the one in Italy! It would be much more expensive than moving to Florida, but given how amazing the neighborhoods are said to be and how desirable the town is, we cannot say it wouldn’t be as popular as moving to Italy.
In the end, Naples is one of the best choices you could make when it comes to relocating during your retirement years, as it is famous for its gentle weather and amazing sunny days, the gorgeous waters, and the beautiful beaches, which are dubbed “sugar sand” beaches too due to their appearance!
Naples is also known for its food scene and other fun activities such as dolphin viewing, as well as its amazing locations on the Gulf of Mexico. The rent here is a bit high, coming up to about $1,317, but the lack of significant rainfall and the relatively medium-sized community makes up for it. You could truly have a few quaint golden years on a sandy beach and you will not get enough of photographing the sunset!
Myles VanDuzer is it really $$$$$? curious we are close to it prob. less than an hour. we are in the hood, but great neighbors.
Where in Florida? I can’t find a listing?
They are a bunch of liars. Ron DeSantis is a great governor and he loves America.
If you don;t like Florida and what it offers, move away, I’m sure Chicago, LA, NYC, SF, Boston, Philly, anyplace in New Jersey, Delaware, Asheville, even Denver, will welcome you with open arms and be happy to take your income.
Chris – If you think FL is not welcoming to gays, you haven’t been to Key West – it’s a haven for the LGBT + community.
I love FL & Gov DeSantis.
Florida used to be New York with palm trees. Now it’s to the right of Texas. The politics are raw, rude, and leaning toward Gilead. Families should avoid it. The schools are not supported by state budgets, the attacks on fine books and even colleges is shameful, voting can be a frightening experience, a terrible and threatening place for LGBQ+ people, and families do not know if one of their children is not straight. That happens later after the education system has already failed them. Righty seniors think it’s paradise. People carry guns, young women can’t obtain appropriate healthcare, schools are a mess, and diversity is smothered. As a lefty senior, formerly active in politics, I do not anticipate a swing toward even the center for at least a generation. I’m sick of the rancor and have recently moved away to a blue state. The people are much more respectful and polite. Remember, Florida used to be a slave state and the deep and painful divisions are it’s heritage. The love of or hatred of Cuba is a big factor. Why so many righties hate socialists (they think we all are) and communists and are fine with a fascist dictator, I’ll never know. So do your homework folks, before you move to Florida. If you think you can avoid the scourge, think again. It permeates everything.
My first year in the Navy after basic training was Key West, FLA. & I loved the weather, on the coldest nights I went into town, wore casual pants, short sleeve sport shirt & a light windbreaker, slept under a sheet & light blanket, loved it.
Way too conservative and the rumors of promiscuity and rampant STD’s doesn’t sound speaking to be. Also state in quite a mess under DeSantis. Not for everyone.
Why would we not be thrilled with SpaceX?
Myles, I wondered the exact same thing. My brother has lived there for 6 years and says it is the most wonderful place he has ever been.
