Planning a move to the Sunshine State is very exciting! Whether you're retiring to spend your days at the golf course or moving your family because you're tired of putting snow gear on the kids, a move to Florida is going to be so great for you. In fact, thousands upon thousands of people just like you do this every month.
As the move grows closer, you probably have a few questions. You've already looked at townhomes in DeBary, FL and you know you'll love your home. But, what is living in Florida really going to be like? Does Florida have a springtime you can enjoy like the area you are leaving? When do hurricanes hit? Is it really that hot? The short answers are yes, soon, and yes- but let's go into more details for all of these questions and more.
#1 There is a reason they call it The Sunshine State. The majority of the year is sunny and warm. With more than 200 sunshine-filled days a year, Florida offers its residents warm and sunny weather nearly all year round. While spring up north may be muddy and chilly, in Florida it is some of the best weather on earth. Spring, which runs from late March to May, sees warm temperatures throughout Florida, and very little rain. This means it is the perfect season to set outside, kayaking, playing on the playground, golfing, walking the path in your neighborhood, or simply sitting outside on the back porch.
#2 Florida is a true melting pot. As you get out and about in your new neighborhood, you'll find that those living around you in the townhomes in DeBary, FL are very diverse. You’ll meet residents of every age, religion, and background. In addition to Florida Natives, many residents include winter snow birds and transplants from different states who have moved here for the same reasons as you. You may even find neighbors from the same area as you who root for the same sports teams!
#3 The beaches are going to be absolutely packed this time of year! That is why spring is the best time of year to enjoy theme parks, outdoor dining, shopping, and parks. There are a lot of parks in the area, including Gemini Springs, Lake Monroe Park, and Rob Sullivan Park.
#4 You'll see a lot of visitors. Florida is so great this time of year that everyone wants to enjoy it, from winter "snow birds" to spring break tourists. These visitors come mostly from mid-December to mid-April and leave when things really start to heat up. This time of year, the restaurants, roads, and theme parks will be pretty packed. When they leave, you and the other residents will have the place to yourself again! If you can brave the outdoors in July, you'll find it's mainly you and those who live around you left in the area.
You're going to love living in either a new townhome or one of the single family homes in DeBary, FL. This area is one of the best in the country for many reasons, especially during the spring months!
