And if you want to rent...ha, ha, in a nice neighborhood, of course, 1bd 1bth $1100
2bd 2bth $1300 and 3/2 as much as $1600. So if you move here not only will the cost of living be high, the pay will not match. And yes, we are planning to move.

Same with Orlando, and we're planning to move, too (whenever we can sell our house, that is!)
