[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some posters obviously have no idea what they're talking about. It's not about horses, retirees, or poor people.

Central Florida is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. This is has been going on since prior to the pandemic then got an extra boom during the pandemic. Lots of young professionals (both singles and families) are moving there. Areas that used to be LMC/MC are now becoming UMC. Lots of UC areas too.

Some of these pp's clearly have an agenda against Florida for going red and voting in Trump and DeSantis. You're entitled to hate the politicians, but you're not entitled to make up your own facts.[/quote]

Right but people don’t just wake up one day and decide to move to a rural area with limited job opportunities. That’s a different draw than say, Wesley Chapel or Oviedo that have the benefit of being accessible to a major city but also space, good schools, good weather. The reason exurbs are rapidly growing is because the cities are rapidly growing. OP said exurbs but given the “no industry” comment I think they meant more rural places, something like N. Central Florida between Gainesville and the Georgia line. I can’t imagine the draw to that kind of place unless you want a rural lifestyle with a bunch of land. It probably is horsey people and possibly retirees. [/quote]

I’m from the “Nature Coast” (called that because it’s only salient feature are the natural swamps, marshes, and scrub).  Few beaches because of the wetlands. Little industry, schools are pretty limited but generally safe. Went there with my spouse and they thought they were on another planet. [/quote]

I grew up in a major city in FL and there's a lot I love about the nature coast, but definitely a culture shock to someone from the DMV. I suspect that the growth it's experiencing (if any) is just slowly spreading out from Tampa rather than people specifically choosing that area. Not that people don't choose it, but [b]I can't imagine the average family from somewhere like NY or DC deciding that Homosassa is where they want to put their roots.[/b] [/quote]
sure, why not? Lots of people have no desire to live in a busy metro area like Tampa Bay. Traffic, COL, wanting somewhere more quiet/nature-y...areas like Homosassa are really popular with transplants.[/quote]

Because a lot of people from those areas would probably shit a brick if these were their neighbors: https://www.redfin.com/FL/Homosassa/23-Mayflower-Ct-S-34446/home/129591092 (look at the 3D walkthrough, not the photos)[/quote]

That Last Supper in the dining room is priceless.[/quote]
