1. where can you not find retirement places in florida?
2. Throw a rock in any direction, and I'm pretty sure you'll hit one.
3. go on line kissemee...lots of places to check
4. Plan ahead. It took me several years and many trips before I found the right place for me. I don't list it here because what is right for me may not be right for you. Search for Florida retirement on google or yahoo. Analyze all the information you can get about each place or area. You should be able to quickly rule out many places because they are too (close / far) from the beach, too expensive, residents too old (or too young), etc. Group the ones that look the best by area. Next call each place, ask the salesperson for the story about why their place is so great and why theirs is better than the other places. The reasons they give could be very important to you or they might not. Take very good notes! Many have a preview trip offer. Stay a day or two and they will pickup the tab (or discount) for the hotel, meals, even the flight. Ignore those that offer to return your money if you decide not to buy or apply it to the down payment. (Too much pressure on salesperson to sell you something.) Next plan a trip to check each area out. Try to arrange things such that you can visit several nearby places on each trip. At some point you'll ether find the ideal place for you or decide that Florida is not really where you want to be.
