Answer 1

HI Marine MOM. Its brooklyn. You answered my ques. about the villages. I really wanted to speak to you further but when I tried to e-mail you it would not work! Iam fairly new to this website so I have put the ques.out there on how do I reach some of the people who ans.my ques.As far as your ques.about a safe place to live,my friend built a home on the west side of FL.in Cape Coral.She just loves it and the most important thing is that it is across the bridge from FT.Myers She told me that Ft Myers is a town that is growing and it is very family orientated, good schools and the crime rate is very low and watched very carefully by the police and city council and PTA groups.So,if you wanted to go to that area it would be ideal for what you are looking for..

Answer 2

its a pretty nice, quiet suburb, but its rapidly growing and the crime rate has risen a bit over the past few years.

i would say avoid areas near Fort Pierce as the crime rate is higher over there.

the best place to live is the area around Port St Lucie Blvd or more toward Jensen Beach.

Answer 3

A year or two ago it came to light that there were more indoor pot farms (grow houses) there than anyplace else in the US. Many people who have houses there are snowbirds. So there are a lot of neighborhoods with part time and transient residents. (Which provided cover for the 'grow houses'). My advice would be to find more established neighborhoods with a majority of year round residents.

But there is a reason the snowbirds love it. it is a nice quiet area for the most part. But more expensive than it used to be, especially for insurance.
