7. Easy Access for Visiting Family

Florida’s popularity means extensive airport networks and travel infrastructure.

Major airports in Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa make it easy for children and grandchildren to visit—especially during school breaks and winter holidays.

Many retirees find that moving to Florida actually increases family visits. Who doesn’t want an excuse to escape snow and spend a week in the sun?

Additionally, Florida’s highways and cruise ports make travel convenient for seniors who enjoy exploring beyond the state.
