Pretty much every New Yorker thinks about leaving New York City at one point or another. As we all know: it’s expensive, space is tight, and the weather can be brutal. Popular places to relocate include upstate, New Jersey, or across the country to California.
There’s another option where real estate is affordable (especially compared to NYC prices), the economy is robust, and it never snows: Florida’s Orlando and Daytona Beach area.
