Lots of people doing that in Florida will probably regret it if we truely now are Hurricane Alley. New trend might be more folks living up north in median sized cities closer to family and big city life but reasonably priced and close to nature as well but perhaps coming to Florida for the winter season only. Some area a couple of hours north of NYC along with areas you mentioned might really take off after falling off the radar the last 25-30 years. I like my house and I like change of seasons too. 1 full acre, 20+ 200 year old oak trees on it that will probably live another 200 years, excellent privacy from neighbors because of trees and how the house is situated, custom built cedar and stone. House is very very unique with a huge semi-circular deck 15 ft in the air on one side, ground level on the other (we built into the side of a hill) that overlooks trees not neighbor's houses. We have 4 bedrooms and 5+ bathrooms (counting the basement). 3400 sq ft not counting finished basement. Well water is excellent as well as plentiful. Now I can have that (50 mi NW of Chicago in an excellent school district) for 600K or a 2 BR condo in a stupid florida hi-rise condo for the same amt. Is this supposed to be a serious decision? Mish
