I agree with you somewhat. Though I want more tropical sites. Not woods. And yes the area outside of TV is awful. I’d rather be by beaches. I lived in ft lauderdale and liked the beach area. However buying a condo on the beach or close buy is expensive. Depending where you buy. HOA can be up to $500 and hurricane insurance is crazy. You have a condo even a street or two from the beach, you will be required to have hurricane insurance and it’s big bucks. We have friends who have a condo on Cocoa Beach. I would live by the beach in a heart beat. I don’t go into Leesburg either run down old city. Yep don’t like the woods, want beaches and tropical scenery.
