What Longboat Key does better than anywhere else
OK so The unemployment rate is 0.6%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $143,365, which feels pretty solid for the area. Rent is about $2,969/month for a decent place. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Low crime in most areas
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited cultural events
- Not enough green space
