Hopefully, it will not be as expensive as it is here in good old Long Island, NY. Do not get me wrong, Long Island is a beautiful place to vist, but to live here you need a big bank account.

I just moved here in Oct. from Long Island (New Hyde Park) --We said we would never move to Florida !!! Visited here and that changed everything
We closed here on Oct 27 --I retired Nov 1----
We find Taxes, Utilities, clothing and restaurents cheaer here --
Supermarket prices are about the same --some items are higher
The pace of things is much slower --its great !!
As others have stated all those negative comments from people go away once they visit --
And did I mention ---I gave my snow blower away to my son in Brooklyn !!
Good Luck
