What is the best city to relocate to in Florida?

What is the best city in South Florida to relocate my family to? Moving from Ohio in the next month.?

  • My company is opening a South Florida branch and I am relocating from Ohio to manage it. I have a huge influence on where this be at this point so I am going to be a little selfish and pick the spot my family would be happiest in. Here are my criteria: 1.) Safe Area, Must have great school system (children ages 2, 5 and y) 2.) Would like to be close to the beach. 3.) We want to rent a home with in a bubble market (Miami, Fort Myers, West Palm, etc) since the prices are low. 4.) We want to be warm year round, but dont know what summer is like on the east coast versus the west cost. So... where is the best place in S Florida for a family to live?

  • Answer:

    They all have their good points and bad points. Miami-Dade and Broward both have loads of crime and illegals. If you can afford it, Key Biscayne is pretty idyllic. I don't know about Key Largo's school system but that's another place that would meet your criteria. Naples is nice too except there's so many old people there. I have to tell you that it's a pretty huge change from Ohio and your kids are going to grow up in a completely different world. If you haven't spent much time down there, I would seriously caution you. Maybe see if Sarasota is too far north for your company's consideration. It's pretty civilized.

Hey, Fort Lauderdale is a great place to move to. Miami and West Palm can be a little busy and dangerous for children; plus the school system in Fort Lauderdale is one of the best in Florida. They have great schools with good programs, and a variety of exceptional magnet schools. I grew up there and crime isn't bad for a city its size. Some cool surrounding cities of Fort Lauderdale are: coral springs, parkland, weston, cooper city, Lauderdale by the Sea etc.

Weston, it's in western Broward County. The public school system is fantastic, my parents work there, and I'm graduating from high school this year. It's warm most of the time, and the coldest it gets is the low 40s, usually around this time. It's no more than half an hour to the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, and it's also close to Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood airport. It's also a reasonable drive from the homes of the Panthers (hockey), Marlins (baseball), Dolphins (football), and Heat (basketball). I don't know how the housing market is right now, but there are plently of people who want to sell.

I'm really young and don't really know about prices and stuff but I would say the Pembroke Pines area is really nice. That's were I live. We're not longer than 15-20 minutes away from the beach. There are many school near by and I would say that this is an area for families. Closer to the beach is more like singles and a new couples. That's what I think. I wouldn't have a family in South Beach. It's very wild and like the party town. It's like summer all year around. Cools down a little in the winter but only a couple days lol I guess you can say we still go to the beach in the winter. I've lived here my whole life. I'm 19 (Don't judge me by my age, I'm not your average teen) http://maps.yahoo.com/index.php#mvt=m&lat=26.006557&lon=-80.253388&zoom=14&q1=Pembroke%2520Pines%252C%2520FL%252033026
