Best places in Florida to live? -

Lookin to move to Florida but not really sure what areas are the best. I m lookin for somewhere not too far from things to do, shopping, and pretty close to the beach. not really sure which parts have the best weather too; e.g., parts impacted less by storms...n for now lets just say that $ isnt a prob. Any input?

You need to specify if you mean north or south cause they are completely different. The northern part of the state has a lot of southern roots in it, so if that s your kind of thing then go for it. The south part of Florida has a more SoCal feeling to it. I lived in West Palm Beach when I was younger, and enjoyed it there. I heard Ft Lauderdale is pretty nice too. Miami isn t too bad either, but it s a big city, so take a little pre-caution there.

Coral Gables... so close to Miami (5 minutes), and lots of shopping!, close to the beach and some of the state s best restaurants!

englewood! its a nice little town close to tons of beaches, private and public
