Family Heads Back to South Florida

In the past few years there’s been so much talk of people leaving south Florida and heading north.  It seemed that was all I heard a few years back.  But homes have become affordable once again in Miami and surrounding areas.

I read an interesting story of a family who headed to North Dakota lured by the promise of small town life, sweetened by the offer of free land and money to get their home purchase on its way.

It’s been four years since the Tristanis moved and they’re apparently trying to come back to south Florida.  The beautiful weather here is just one of the many reasons.

You can read their story here.  It’s a shame that the efforts of the development committee were not taken to heart by the surrounding community.  Clearly, for things like this to work, everyone must be on board.

The Redland, just southwest of Miami, is a lovely place to call home. I love the fact that things are quiet here.  And I’m never more than 10 minutes away from most things I need.  It’s really the best of both worlds for me.  I haven’t cleaned snow since 2001 when I left New York.  I can’t say that the snow’s been missed. =)
