Best place to live / boat / work / play IN FLORIDA
Since a lot of you guys are down here and google sucks for this kind of thing ... where is best?
We are thinking of somewhere between Palm Beach and Miami, but we may not even end up moving.
Has to be south of Orlando.
Has to be on one of the coasts - I think I'd prefer ocean, but Gulf may be OK.
Has to be somewhat reasonable (oceanfront condo or river / canal home) at or under $1mil.
Not too crowded.
Not deserted.
Plenty of fun $hit for two young people to do.
Any links to real estate would be nice too.

To make sure my gut feeling was correct, I recently checked some MLS data to compare residential sales in Tampa for May of 2006 as compared to the same period a year earlier. May of 2005 had 1437 residential properties change hands as compared to 983 in the month just ended. If I am calculating correctly, ...(more)
