Florida is leading the nation in tourism with its year round hot and sunny climate, swaying palm trees and unique combination of snow-white beaches along the Gulf of Mexico and crashing surf along the Atlantic Coast. The Sunshine State's population is rapidly growing and new construction is popping up almost daily increasing home values and offering all types of housing options and many active homes for sale.

Prestigious universities such as the University of Florida in Gainesville, the University of Miami and Florida State University in Tallahassee (Florida's capital) cover the state from top to bottom. Beautiful residential real estate in Florida can be found all over cities such as Pensacola or Destin in the Panhandle, Orlando (DisneyWorld!) or Tampa in the central part of the state, the Atlantic coast's Daytona Beach or Cocoa Beach, Miami's South Beach or, of course, tropical Key West down at the tip.
