10 Florida Towns So Cheap and Beautiful, You'll Wonder Why Nobody's Retiring There

There are ten towns in Florida right now where you can buy a home outright for what most retirees pay in rent alone somewhere like Naples or Sarasota. Lakes so clear you can see your feet standing in four feet of water. Historic downtowns nobody's bothered to gentrify yet. Property taxes so low, longtime residents sometimes forget to budget for them. So why isn't everyone retiring here? Real estate agents who specialize in retirement relocation say the answer isn't a secret, it's just unglamorous: no beach, no theme park, no famous name. We're counting down all ten, ending with the one agents keep calling the best kept secret in the entire state.
