[quote=Anonymous]It used to be that NE went to Miami, but not the case since covid.

Miami is very, very busy these days.  Traffic, grocery stores, restaurant reservations.... everything is really really hard. We lived there for 10 years - best years of our lives! We were on south beach and loved the action. But it's a new level of action now, and there's no control to the development or master plan.  We find it very hard to go back, and my friends who are still there are itching to get to quieter places (even though they love miami).

Naples is very stodgy and manicured.  Not my favorite vibe.  
Treasure coast is kind of randomly fun but not must to walk to. But very chill, old school florida vibe.

Ponte Vedra is a favorite of many friends.

If you're willing to live in land, there are really nice high end communities around orlando. Also, i like the college town (and affordable) vibe around gainesville.

In tampa, you could look around the upscale shopping area Hyde Park. Not sure if it's remotely affordable anymore though.

Finally.... best place in the state where all the newcomers are from the NE.... is Sarasota.  You can get a nice upgraded inland home for your budget, not in the absolute nicest neighborhoods close to the water, but pretty close.  Lots of shopping, restaurants, etc. Most (but not all) of the wealthier people here are liberal, or at least reasonable on politics. Life is good![/quote]
