Highlands County Florida - A "Cool" Place to Live

As Highlands County's "Coolest Realtor" I'd like to share with you why I love Highlands County and why it's the coolest place to live. Well, we have some of the coolest communities --- Avon Park, Sebring, and Lake Placid, where the coolest of cool people live. The lifestyle is fun, friendly, cool and causal. In Highlands County, a morning of golf makes for a perfect afternoon and getting dressed for "The Club" translates to socks optional!

We have an affordable cost of living and no state income tax. The median price of a home is $195,000, a lot less expensive than either of the Florida coasts or the urban areas. We are within a two-hour drive of either coast, two international airports, Mickey World, and the rest of the other major Florida attractions. We have luxury homes in beautiful golfing communities, to a cozy cabin on a pristine lake, or a quiet place in the country. For those of you who fly south in the winter, you can find a nice cool (or should I say warm) place to live for less than $81,000. Now that's what I call soooo...COOL!

If you have really cool hobbies and recreational needs, then you will find it all in Highlands County. Whether it's bass fishing on one of our 88 crystal clear lakes, or playing golf on one of a dozen or more championship golf courses, playing tennis, birdwatching, biking, canoeing, playing shuffle board (or as the cool people say shuffling), or antiquing you can find it all here in Highlands County!

Highlands County is a cool place to raise a family. We have a low crime rate, wholesome living, and good schools with dedicated teachers. Cool kids love Highlands County. We have really great sports programs from baseball, soccer, football to just about all cool organized sports. The Children's Museum of the Highlands is very cool for kids, moms, dads and grandparents. But most of all, our great outdoors is the coolest playground of all.
