If you’re looking for a great place to buy a piece of property located directly on the beach or at least located close to a beach, and you’re looking for a place in Florida, then you’re in luck! Florida is one of the most popular places to live these days, and why wouldn’t it be? Beautiful beaches, incredible sunsets and awesome weather year round!
I have always had a certain affinity for Florida, in fact its considered my second home and with good reason! As of late the real estate market has been pretty high, but very recently the price started to drop drastically making it a prime time to buy real estate. Some good places to look at are Naples, Islamorada, St Petersburg, and Venice Beach. The prices I’ve seen thus far for the properties located in these places have been very fair. A lot of these homes look like something Donald Trump would own, but they are still something that the regular or above regular person could buy. This is great news for you! Here are a few houses in the cities aforementioned along with price samples just so you can see what I’m jabbering on about!
Naples – 3 bedroom two bath 1985 sq ft single family. Year built 2007, waterfront home, custom pool, beautiful neighborhood, $459,000
Islamorada – 3 bedroom 2 bath 1,596 sq ft Single-Family Home. Meticulous solid concrete home is nestled in a secluded bay front gated community surrounded by approximate 12 acres of lush tropical hardwood hammock in the Heart of Islamorada. Spacious living area opens up to a grand screened in porch – this home is perfect for entertaining. Lot Size: 10,580 sq ft – $795,000
St Petersburg – 6 bedroom 4 bath 4,917 sq ft Single-Family Home. Magnificent Venetian Isles Open Tampa Bay. Night Lights illuminate this truly custom home.

Of course that’s just a few of the hundreds of thousands of places for sale in Florida, but just so you get an idea of the variety in pricing as well as statics. Homes aren’t the only thing for sale obviously, you can also take a look at apartments and condos as well. A few months ago I bought a home in Islamorada after visiting there with a friend, I just loved it so much I wanted to stay! The home I bought was 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, private swimming pool and the home is located on the beach, its utterly amazing and even though the price was in the 800s my payments are only about $3k per month, of course I put down a little over 300k but still it was right in my price range and uh, it’s on the beach!
Really if you do enough research and really look around, chances are you will find something in Florida that you absolutely fall for but has an affordable price you can work with. Florida really is a beautiful place to live, check it out the next time your searching around online so you can see what I mean!
