I know commuting sucks but ask yourself if you would rather live somewhere that you do not have to worry about your family when you are on a trip. I miss saltwater fishing terribly but not the rest of the garbage I had to deal with. There is no sense of community in Florida because everyone is from somewhere else. Driving in Florida is outright dangerous. Hurricanes seem to be getting worse every year. It is no fun having to get home and trying to board up and evacuate when the weather is going downhill. It was an adjustment getting used to winter again after moving but at least I do not have to do yard work in the winter. There is no income tax in Florida but property taxes, homeowners, and car insurance is expensive. South Florida has the highest rate of car theft in the country. These are facts of life living anywhere in Florida. Good luck with your decision. I try to look at things on the positive side but these are things you will deal with living there.

I second Parkland. It’s an upper middle class area out by itself. 25 minute drive to the employee lot. 4 bedroom houses start at just over $500,000. That’s a good thing because it keeps the scumbags out.

When I was considering South Florida, I found some new home communities in Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, and Royal Palm Beach that have decent public schools and location. The buy in is $350k-$500k +. The furthest from FLL was Royal Palm Beach. I left FLL at 09:00 and pulled into the community at 10:06 using I595 and the turnpike. Returning took a little longer because I drove toward the coast and used I95 and US 1, about 1:25 total. A lot of traffic lights that direction.

Not selling anything, not a realtor. Pilots like their toys including boats.
