As a resident of Florida for the past 40 years---I nominate Cape Coral, Florida for your move. We are a new city and now have 144,000 people. We have hundreds of miles of canals--a beautiful river--The Caloosahatchee--- close to the Gulf of Mexico ( as our river goes to the Gulf). We are a bedroom community to Fort Myers --and have affordable housing. We are 140 miles south of Tampa and 140 west of Ft. Lauderdale. Come on down and give us a look see. You are going to love it here. We are basically Republican and have a very active Republican Club, which I am membership chairperson and would love to invite you to join us.
Appreciate the kind welcome. I've bookmarked a site for Cape Coral and will definitely be checking it out.
