Contemplating a move to Florida sometime in the not to distant future. I'm looking for a condo on a waterway/canal, with a dock and lift for my boat. Trying to not spend too much money. I can find really decent properties in the Ft. Myers/Cape Coral area but I don't know anything about the Tampa/ St. Pete area.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a start. I wish I knew more of that market.

Wisconsin to FL - That's a long haul, but a great move!

Also check out www.tbo.com there's alot of good local info under the classifieds and such.

Btw- I made the move to tampa in '95 from Niles,Il. and i don't regret a single moment! Great living-Great weather

Rub it in Beeyatch!!! I'll get ya next time im down there! LOL!

I am going on 7 years... From Schenectady NY originally... (I know a few of you will know where that is).. Have not regreted a DAY! I love not having to winterize my boat, I even went out on it the day after christmas! A little chilly, but I could do it!

Thanks everyone. My mom has a condo in Cape Coral that we go to often. I love Florida. The weather is so much better for the most part than Wisconsin's.

There are days here however that are just sooo perfect. But when I start to think about the sub-zero days in Jan.....
NO THANKS.

Hopefully We'll be there soon enough.

Most people come here on vacation, leave on probation & then return on violation of probation.
Really a nice place to live.

Well, for what it's worth, I can only add the same sentiments as everyone else. I love it here, and being originally from Jersey, I can say with 100% confidence that it's the best thing I've ever done in my life.

You'd love the area, I guarantee it, and we could always use another member of the Offshore performance community. Hope your future move is an easy one full of good fortune and good experiences.

With all the retirees in Florida , I heard it was a waiting room for Heaven

Then bring on the "waiting room"!!!!
