Florida's Transformation Over the Last 20 Years
Ah, Snow Birding! The annual migration of retirees from the chilly Northeast to sunny Florida during the winter months has long been a cherished tradition for many Americans. Among other popular destinations, Florida has emerged as a top choice due to its pleasant climate, beautiful beaches, and diverse attractions. Over the last two decades, snow birding in Florida has undergone significant changes, driven by various factors.
Lifestyle and Activities:
Snow birding to Florida is no longer limited to beach days, bingo games, and golfing. Today, part-time Floridians demand a more well-rounded experience through personally tailored activity calendars and premium resort-inspired amenities. Although our communities traditionally do not offer short-term seasonal leases, our residents enjoy the stress-free, community centered environment facilitated by our site team members and our SUN calendar that they come back to year after year.
Staying connected:
Say goodbye to the dusty condo rental! One of the most noticeable changes in the seasonal migration to Florida over the last 20 years is the impact of technological advancements and increased connectivity. The widespread adoption of smartphones, Wi-Fi, and technological literacy among mature adults has opened the door to many new opportunities. Today, snowbirds can easily research rental options and potentially lease sight unseen, find local attractions, and stay connected with family and friends for longer stretches of time.
Seasonal Housing Market:
The housing market in Florida has experienced notable changes in response to the snow birding trend. With an influx of visitors during the winter months, the demand for rental properties has soared. This surge in demand has resulted in the construction of new vacation homes and the conversion of existing properties into short-term rentals, potentially driving property owners into rental communities.
