The Top 5 Reasons People Move From RI to FL
Many moving companies in RI would rather keep you in the state, but there are countless reasons to move to Florida instead. Tired of cold winters, high taxes, and horrible roadways? The “Sunshine State” is calling your name!
- It’s always summer. Say goodbye to frostbite and potholes. In Florida, it’s summer year-round, so any day can be a beach day!
- Florida is the 5th most culturally diverse state in the US. In addition to a large number of permanent visitors (lovingly referred to as snowbirds!), FL is also home to a wide variety of residents from the Latino, Caribbean, and African-American communities, meaning you’ll never run out of restaurants to visit or people to meet!
- Living in Florida is cheaper! While it may come as a surprise, it’s actually cheaper to live in FL than it is to live in Rhode Island. Of course, this will depend on where in the state you decide to reside, but Florida has more-than-enough options to satisfy any budget, as well as a large variety of employment opportunities statewide!
You’ll never run out of things to do! Rhode Island has a lot to do outdoors, but so does Florida! From national parks to a wide variety of beaches, FL has plenty of outdoor activities to keep you busy year-round. If you prefer to stay indoors, consider popular attractions like the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum in St. Augustine or the Kennedy Space Center in Titusville to stay entertained!
There’s no state income tax! In the Sunshine State, your checks will be a little bit bigger, thanks to the absence of the 3.75% income tax you’ve become accustomed to (although you still have to pay federal income taxes).
Florida has many different communities spread throughout the state, so no matter if you’re a country person or prefer a big city, FL has a place for you. Here are a few popular cities the locals seem to love!
1. Fort Myers – The “City of Palms”
With the largest population of burrowing owls in the state, the historic estates of Edison & Ford, Manatee Park, and famous white sand beaches, Fort Myers is a beautiful city with a low cost of living.
2. Lakeland – “Swan City”
Famous for its many lakes, beautiful birds, and Downtown Historic & Antiques district, this city offers the amenities of a city with the pristine landscapes of a town. You won’t run out of things to do because there is a lively nightlife scene and a celebration downtown every First Friday of the month. The location is perfect, at about halfway between Tampa and Orlando.
3. Clearwater – Home to the 2019 “Best Beach In America”
A popular destination for many long distance moving companies, the city of Clearwater has many yearly festivals, a large diversity of local restaurants, and some of the most beautiful seaside sunsets in the US. It also has the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, which is home to Winter (the star of the family-friendly Dolphin Tale series!).
Made it to the “Sunshine State”? Here are a few places you won’t want to miss!
Siesta Key Beach – This beautiful quartz-crystal sand beach was ranked the #1 Beach in the U.S. for 2020 by TripAdvisor, making it a can’t-miss destination after you say goodbye to your favorite long distance movers. Rhode Island, sorry – it was fun while it lasted!
Walt Disney World Resort – Disney World is an iconic destination located in Orlando, FL. Four distinct theme parks are spread over 43 square miles, which is guaranteed to provide enough Disney magic for the whole family!
Everglades National Park – If you’ve never seen an alligator before, then this is a great place to start! The Everglades are home to alligators, crocodiles, manatees, and a wide variety of endangered animals including the evasive Florida panther! Fun fact: these 1.5 million acres of wetland are the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles live side-by-side!
