What to expect moving to Fort Walton Beach?

Alright, I'm retired and Median household income is $66,556, which feels about average for the area. Rent is about $1,268/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 9.3%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $66,556 in Fort Walton Beach. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Am I overthinking this? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
