Of course, you would. That’s the best way to relax and enjoy your new lifestyle - no work involved, only play. That's 55+ communities in Florida.

Do you want to be active all year round?

South Florida temperatures in the winter average around 70+ degrees during the day and rarely dip into the 50s at night. Its year-round semi-tropical climate, moderate rainfall, abundant sunshine, and escape from frost, snow and ice all combine to make Florida a mini-paradise and an appealing place to live. It's the best state to enjoy boating, scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming. Also, you can enjoy your favorite outdoor sports, like golf and tennis or fishing, almost every day.
