Hello,
Looking to move to Florida. I have 2 kids (Grade 1 and 4)
The following are important:
- good public school or somewhat affordable private school
- not more than 30 min from the beach,
-we are nature lovers so parks are imprtant too
- with easy access to kids activities (my daughter swims, my sons plays the piano)
- most importantly, we'd like to live in a safe place with educated people as our neighbors.

What is the best place for us?

Many thanks for your input.

What's your budget? Do you want a gated community? How much will you spend on an HOA? By "somewhat affordable" private school what do you mean? Numbers matter. Do you have jobs lined up already?

What do you mean by "educated people?" Educated people live in all areas, and ignorant people live in all areas. There aren't many areas that check resumes on prospective homebuyers and those that do, won't be accepting anyone who posts on city-data looking for a place to live.

FL is full, no need to move here.

If money is no object:

Palm Beach County—Eastern half of Boca Raton (east of Military Trail)
St. John’s County—Ponte Vedra Beach

If you’re willing to bend somewhat on being 30 minutes from the beach (more like 45 or so):

Palm Beach County—Western half of Boca Raton (west of Military Trail)
St. John’s County—Ponte Vedra
Broward County—Parkland, Weston, Coral Springs, Cooper City and Davie

Good luck!

Research Jupiter, Fl, it's not as crime ridden as other Florida cities and it looks like it's for wealthy, conservative folks if that's what your looking for.

Areas that immediately come to mind are Palm Harbor, Westchase, South Sarasota County, Lakewood Ranch, and Jupiter.

Knowing your budget would be helpful.

You posted this same question back in March. You request is way too vague for anyone to answer. And why do you want to move to Florida (as opposed to anywhere else? This is an important question, because your reason may determine far better places for you to move than Florida.

Good catch Gypsychic. I saw that the OP has a budget of $500k for a small ranch. I concur with those who suggested Jupiter but I think the budget is going to be a problem. The OP just won’t be able to have a lot to choose from in that price range, unless they’re willing to give up being close to the beach. Plenty of homes in Central Florida in that price range, but beach access is at least an hour or two away.
