Class A Lots in FL

I'm pretty new to the forums, so if I'm in the wrong one to start this discussion, please let me know.

My wife and I are about to become 6 + 1ers from the great land of taxes, New York state. We've got a 40' Itasca Solei pusher and I'm looking to purchase a lot within a two hour radius from Miami where we have family. Ocean nearby is not a necessity but is preferred. The most important things are security and pleasant surroundings.

We've been all over the internet but it does get confusing because we really don't know the area, especially since lots range from 50K to 1m+. We are going down in July for the birth of our 6th grandchild and will have some time to scout lots at that time.

Does anyone have any suggestions for great locations with a good reputation where we can start? Any realtor/broker references? Better yet, anyone got anything for sale?

As I said, if this is in the wrong forum or I'm somehow off base, please let me know.

    Check out Aztec RV Resort in the Ft Lauderdale area. Prices are quite varied, but the resort is very nice.


    X2...it is inland in Margate, FL....but you would never know it as it is surrounded by canals, has 2 large swimming pools and many other amenities.

    Monthly and annual rentals plus lots for sale.

    Aztec is indeed very nice, but when we were there, we were the only English speaking people in the area where we were parked. Unlike Miami which is Spanish, Aztec is French. Nothing wrong with that, just a bit of a challenge. Time for a couple copies of Rosetta Stone !
  • I agree with trying the Gulf Coast anywhere south of Fort Myers. Life is way slower than driving I-95 down to Miami. Daughter lives in Fort Lauderdale.

    Then again, it depends on your financial situation. Maybe renting an apartment in NY. You gotta downsize sometime.

    You may first want to contact a Taxman!!
  • Ocean Resorts on A1A north of Ft. Pierce might be a good location for you. Ocean, private beach, marina, tennis, huge pool, and etc. This resort is a private co-op and not listed in any CG directory.

    Disclaimer: I own there and my lot is NOT for sale.

    Thanks for the info. Also, I see by your signature block that you have a '69 Road Runner. I bought a '69 GTX when I got back from 'Nam ... best damn car I ever owned. 440, 4 speed, posi - fast like a bullet. I still hate myself for selling it. I've got a 2003 'vette now, but I still miss that GTX ...
