We all know that the Sunshine State, with all its beaches, eternal sunlight, and humble income tax, rules the retirement nest.
And the retirement town of Sebring, just a short drive south of Orlando, is the perfect place for people who want to live in the middle of the state for less. There’s been a huge influx of retirees moving to this area for the last couple of years.
As home prices in Orlando, Miami, and Sarasota keep inching upward, more seniors are giving Sebring a closer look. Retirees typically look for homes that are between $80,000 to $250,000.
Tomoka Heights, for example, which is a gated retirement community, is a major hot spot for perceptive retirees in this price range.
Home to Lake Istokpoga, Lake Okeechobee, and Lake Placid, this retirement town attracts people who dream of spending their golden years reeling in fish. Sebring is a world-renowned bass fishing destination!
