    Default Real Estate in Florida

    So my family is looking to buy a fancy place in florida for the winters..
    Preferably along the west coast i guess as thats less prone to huricanes (or is it not?)

    Anyone got an idea where to look?
    What are good real estate sites to look for offers?

    is the west coast really safer weather wise?
    or would you say its the east coast?

    I've never lived in florida so I couldn't say, but if you are using it for winter time only then it doesn't really matter.
    Hurricane season is from june to october.

    Historically, the north western coast has had fewer serious strikes from hurricanes. I don't live in Florida but I am 45 Miles from the Florida State line at Alabama. But, basically all of Florida is some what vulnerable. Plus Building codes are pretty strenuous to try and minimize the amount of damage caused.

    Theres a bigger risk of a huge earthquake on the west than on the east, so you are safe from that aspect

    And less tornadoes than in the Midwest, so safer in that aspect.

    And No volcanoes at all.
