The Suncoast is situated on the central west and southwest part of Florida, with its communities cozied up to the Gulf of Mexico.

Many retirees bask on beachfront real estate, while others prefer living on one of Florida’s many rivers, like in the Rivé Isle communities. Starting around Tarpon Springs, a Greek-American community, and stretching down to nature-soaked Naples, the Florida Suncoast has some of the most well-known cities in Florida. In fact, new homes in Sarasota, Florida, offer prime real estate in one of the Suncoast’s most popular retirement communities. Florida’s Suncoast also has its share of inhabitable keys, or coral reefs, including Longboat Key, Siesta Key and Manasota Key, for those who wish to live an island-inspired lifestyle amongst Florida gated communities. Other popular cities include the Tampa Bay area, one of the largest metropolitan regions in the state, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Fort Myers, Venice, Cape Coral and more. Whichever city you choose, the Suncoast offers warm waters and temperate climates year-round.</p> <p><strong>Living in Florida</strong><br /> Florida boasts one of the lowest overall tax burdens in the U.S., coming in at No. 45 of 50 in a 2004 rating.
