As metro areas throughout Florida continue to gain value, we’re hearing more and more people asking a big question. What’s the next spot to keep your eye on? Of course, it all depends on what your goals are for real estate. After all, buying an affordable single-family home might entail different factors than purchasing a condo for rental income.
At the same time, there’s been much attention paid to sleepy coastal towns throughout the state. From hip, quaint downtowns to stunning ocean-front views, Florida real estate has a few gems, as well as diamonds in the rough. And today, we’ll look at a few!
Port Charlotte for affordability near major metros
You won’t hear many people talking about Port Charlotte… not yet anyway. Because this area is between several major metros, it hasn’t gotten as much attention. And with Sarasota and St. Petersburg to the north and Cape Coral and Fort Myers to the south, you can understand why that’s been the case. For Florida real estate, these metros are gaining incredible value. And that’s exactly why Port Charlotte is worth looking at. In the coming years, more people might be turning to this spot for affordability.
Melbourne for quiet, beachside Florida properties
This is another area, on the east coast of Florida, that’s not often mentioned. But we’re hearing more and more people talking about this coastal city. For one, the beaches are amazing. There’s also plenty of outdoors to enjoy. Yet, the real estate has remained cost-effective and the community fairly laid back. In coming years, we’ll likely see more interest in this city when it comes to Florida real estate.
Dunedin for a quaint downtown experience
This tiny coastal town in Florida has real estate that’s getting snatched up very quickly right now. While there’s still affordable properties if you know where to look, the area is growing quickly. And when you visit, you’ll see why… the small downtown has become a locals’ paradise, with tons of craft breweries, hip dining, and more. Still, the community has retained its small-town Florida charm, which has made it all that more special.
Anna Maria for upscale but off-the-radar
Our final stop today is Anna Maria. We’ve talked a bit about what Anna Maria has to offer, and for Southwest Florida real estate, it’s worth a look. Now, it can be more upscale than our other choices. But because the island is well-hidden, you feel like you’re in your own slice of heaven when you’re here. Depending on your lifestyle, this one might be just the right fit if you want to get away from it all.
Are you in the market for up-and-coming Florida real estate? There’s still lots of possible value to capture, and I’d be happy to show you the possibilities!
