First, let me welcome you as a member to Allnurses!
Florida's once decent cost of living has been eroded by the high cost of property and insurance. Property values are coming down from their inflated prices, but rents and costs are still higher than they were in 2000.
The high cost of insurance because of the hurricanes has also inflated prices and eroded the low cost of living Florida once enjoyed.
Salary are typical of the Southeast.........low.
There are other compelling reasons to move to Florida and I love it here.
Good luck in finding somewhere you like. Please ask any questions.
