We have lived in the Boston area our whole lives and have been looking for a place to move for a few years now. We always liked Florida for the year round ability to be outside enjoying the sunshine! I don’t mind the cold too much but my wife hates it now so we will give it a try and see how we like it. I don’t think we will move back up to New England full time again, I would love to spend my time exploring down south as much as we can!
We did the counters in the kitchen and a new sink, as well as redid the floors. The rest of the stuff is too expensive to bother doing and won’t be a good return on investment so we are good with that. Bathroom floors are done as well, and I think it will be done at that. Now the biggest problem is cleaning the place out so it’s ready hahaha. We’ve collected a lot of stuff over time! Comes with having a toddler that’s for sure lol
Lucky on the Florida house! We are kicking ourselves for not buying a place for 75k when we could have. Now those houses are going for like 250 sadly lol
We are looking at southern or southwest Florida. I want to be on the gulf side so there's less severe hurricanes lol
Yes! I bought mine in a depressed market. I am from Connecticut and I LOVE Boston! My grandfather's people are from there. It is one of my favorite hangouts back home. That and NYC.
I have never lived back up there as opportunity never knocked, but, still love New England. Florida is great for the year-round outdoors, especially if you love boating/gold. I like southwest and I also lived up in Mexico Beach on the Panhandle. Sadly, the entire street was taken out by Hurricane Michael. Usually, there is more hype than damage, but, it can be damaging.
Well, sorry for talking your ear off!
But, the hurricane parties are the best!
