might be looking to move to florida
Whats up everyone, I might be looking to move to Florida! Anyone have any suggestions as to a good, clean spot with alot of job opportunities and nice people thats still near alot of people that ride? I understand rent isnt that expensive down there compared to NJ and I wanna be able to ride year round. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Job opportunies?
Depends what you do. Anything technology, IT related.....this place sucks. Very hard to find a job these days.
Construction is always booming!
On the west coast if you are outside of the cities like Tampa and Clearwater you will save alot of money. I am 45 minutes from Tampa, I drive 50 minutes to work everyday there and back, round trip is 110 miles. I originally paid just under 50 grand for my house and I refinanced last year and I now pay $535 for my mortgage, that includes property taxes and insurance. I only have a 2 bedroon, 2 bath, 1 car garage house, but $535 in Tampa probably might get you a 1 bedroom apartment....might!
I bought a 1/2 acre lot last December about 20 minutes north of me in a nice subdivision for $9500.
Things are a little cheaper here than other areas.
Ask alot of questions and get costs of living before you decide on an area.
Good luck. Let me know if you need anything more specific.

not sure
I know there is plenty of jobs in Jacksonville but there is only a couple of teams here. We go down to lakeland sometimes but ride a lot in St Augustine. Housing is cheap and not as much traffic as every where else.

hey i would definetly agree with mid and south florida being good for contracting and construction jobs i am from clearwater and have had to move to assfuck ga and i hate it. the tampa bay area is awesome and there is a little bit of everything there from busy downtown apts to small little quiet beach towns the miami area is awesome because there are the most riders there and the population is mostly all young 20 something people but you cant mind a large hispanic population which i dont think you will because they add a lot of spice to the area and the jobs there are very good but you kinda need to know spanish. whatever you do dont move to orlando the jobs there are very plentiful it is the 2nd fastest growing business district in the us (austin tx is 1st) BUT it has to be the only city in fla i hate it is full of nothing but ghettos and foreign people who dont speak english and besides why move to fla and not be by a beach? north fla is to me nothing but an extension of ga. it is small country towns and there are not a lot of bikes and you will not be able to ride year round. remember if you do not move to a city by the coast it will be colder because there is no warm sea breeze. hope this helps!
