We are in the process of buying a condo in Boca for our parents to use and when we were down there in March, Palm County had a mask mandate and it really didn't seem any different than up here. I was told other places didn't have the mask mandate and it was completely normal. The building we are buying in still has Covid restrictions in place but we had our orientation yesterday and they said they expect them to loosen them soon. I don't know if I could do Florida all summer. I had a client in Tampa and spent a few months there over the summer and it was brutal. If we ever move down south I think we will still spend the summers up North at our house in Martha's Vineyard.

It's sooooooooo insanely h-e-l-l hot in the summer. I don't know how I lasted 4 years down there. Definitely was not for me.

It isn’t for me either. I don’t even mind the heat—it’s just not my kind of place at all.

We have had some lovely short vacations there, but I lived down there for 3 months with DH before we got married and couldn’t wait to leave.

I didn't like anything about it other than the proximity to Disney. lol Wasn't the right lifestyle for me and I didn't really like FL living, there were so many gated communities which felt weird to me. Nice place to vacation but I couldn't live there again.

Did you live in an area farther away from the water? I ask because when my parents lived there they were more on the coast and while it was hot, when we traveled more inland to my inlaws, you could tell the temperature difference.

We were on the coast, maybe 5-7 minutes from the water. We were east coast, Palm Bay/Melbourne area. Inland is stuffier but the coast is still SO hot. And the humidity!!!!
