Wouldnt mind living in California either but the property values are much more expensive there. In Florida you can buy a lovely house much cheaper than in either the UK or California.

Very true about house prices....when we thought we may have to move to CA....we found out that the same house with the same builder would cost us $150k+ more in CA than FL.....quote:Originally posted by esprit

California's also got earthquakes and landslides and I'd rather have heat, humidity, bugs, etc, etc than an earthquake any time!

I agree with the property cost. But earthquake is nothing in CA..I mean it's pretty harmfull. The building has been built for earthquake proof.

Just want to edit..I mean earthquake in CA is harmless...not harmfull. People sometimes just stay sleeping while it comes.
Is anyone have experience how it feel being in Orlando at hurricanes season ? It's really bad or..harmless. And how about flood..is anyone has experience with water in their livingroom ? Tell me about it. I really want to buy property in Orlando or Kissimee area..but don't like the flood and Hurricane blast my house.[:I]
You can get things happen to you home in most parts of the USA...and central FL gets away lighter than the coast in hurricane season....floodings not a yearly thing....I think the last time was....1992...I'm not sure....the trouble now is with new houses built on lowland and near water catchment ponds.....a good realtor would be able to tell you where there could be flooding.....and if you get a good builder....he would of made sure he never touched land that would flood.....but not all builders are good.....so a good realtor is a must.....quote:Originally posted by yun

HI,
We live in Maine and only visit our home in Florida. Like England, Maine is cold and boring, too. The winters last forever. We are thinking about retiring in Florida in about 15-20 years. My husband works for the department of defense but will be retiring soon. I am a teacher, but I can teach anywhere. And we would love to take care of our own home someday. Only one more kid at home (15 years) and we are home free!!!
One nice things about Maine, though ... no earthquakes, no hurricanes, no poisonous mosqitoes or snakes, no alligators, only an very rare tornado ... sounds good. If only it wasn't for those long, cold winters. It feels like a deep freeze.

We get hurricanes on the Cape....I'm hoping not to see one while we live here....but it gets very windy at times....and it floods in places.....I just find it boring here in the summer not being able to leave because of the traffic....so I can't wait to move to FL....quote:Originally posted by dhussey2
