He is bang on about the cultures. The east is more hustle bustle, traffic, north eastern escaping the cold, multi cultural, better food choices and built up. West is more laid back, less traffic, more spread out, mid western vibe and politically conservative. Mid westerners tend to retire to the west coast, north easterners tend to retire on the east coast.
Not only is he bang on, but he could run for the Presidency on that explanation. Fine job Troy!
Politically, it’s not exactly like that anymore. St. Petersburg is an extremely progressive (leftist) town. Jacksonville is more conservative and Miami has become more red too as the large Hispanic population votes more red.
The SAND is different: west coast sand is generally white powdery coral which remains cool even in blistering heat. The EAST coast sand is basically crushed stone, which retains heat and will burn your feet on a hot day.
Thanks for sharing - I agree
Thanks for sharing
West is best.
Panhandle sand is crushed quartz that came from the Appalachian mountains. That is why is so white and different.
@@marknewton6984 no waves tho
On the East Coast the sun goes down earlier in winter and the tall buildings on the beaches leave you in a cold shade. No sun sets.
Good Insight - thanks for sharing
I would much rather watch a sunset. Than a sunrise.
My father had a condo unit on Longboat Key,,,Casa Del Mar,,,,loved visiting I winter.
Long-Term Florida resident here... I would not lump all of the FL East-coast together. There is a tremendous difference between South Florida, the Treasure Coast region, and North Eastern FL (ST Jax/St Augustine area) To the beaches, culture, economy etc The keys are it's own category altogether
I agree. Wholeheartedly. I cringed when he said northeast beaches like Daytona & Cocoa Beach. As a Jax Native I was like “huh”? Every FL Native knows that Central FL beaches start from Daytona Beach and go down to Vero Beach by Indian River County, where the landscape turns to South FL. And I’m pretty sure the West Coast of FL has as much coastline as the East Coast if not more if you include the Panhandle around the Big Bend. Makes me forget how hyper local Floridians can be meaning they only really know about the regions they live in or frequent the most lol.
Came from NY, went west coast. Sunsets > Sunrises. Plus after 30+ years of hustle I want the slowed down pace.
Thank you for this video, Troy!
Great video man, I used to live in Jax beach back in 2001, it was a calm chill young vibe where everyone knew everyone, now its changed, a lot grittier and more homeless and crazies unfortunately. When I go back to Florida, im definitely hitting the gulf side.
Don’t go to St. Petersburg. It’s the San Francisco of FL.
@@ethanlculver oh damn, that bad huh....hard to find a good spot nowadays
Thanks for this helpful video! Keep on doing it!
Very informative video. Thank you Troy.
Great video. Thank you, Troy.
I chose west coast 4.5 years ago. I love the tiny waves, they don't knock my old ass over. And I came from NJ, so why would I want to be around the people I moved away from?
very useful. Many thanks.
Thanks Troy !
The beaches on the East Coast suck you might, as will be in California. The beaches on the West Coast with their sugar sand is the ultimate
Great video!
This is excellent video.
The Atlantic is cold and rough on the Southeast coast minus seashells vs. the Gulf is like warm calm bath water with shells.
West Coast has more beautiful beaches with whiter sand but are prone to red tide. Generally, East Coast is more exciting, more "naughty", more congested, and tends to attract a lower "quality" of people...which must include me b/c I'm in Miami Beach
Wish I had found you sooner. Fortunately, we were extremely blessed to choose the East Coast. We found a very reasonable home on the Space Coast, just five minutes from NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and so we call it Paradise with rocket launches! Love your informative videos! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Bethany how loud/ disturbing are those rocket launches? We want to find a place in Satellite beach but may have to settle for Merritt island for cheaper
@@Jkburd - The noise from a rocket launch is not as loud as a jet aircraft and only lasts for a minute or two. It’s more of a rumble than a loud noise and can be felt as well as heard. We have been as close as they allow at Kennedy Space Center’s Viewing Area ( approximately 3 miles) and as far as thirteen miles away. The noise is not a factor at all from either place. When the booster(s) return to the cape, there is a sonic boom that happens as it is re-enters the atmosphere at, I believe, twice the speed of sound (or more). It sounds like an actual “boom” - kinda like the sound of two vehicles hitting one another or perhaps a large gun shot. It’s actually a double “boom-boom” sound and shakes the ground. There are videos of both rocket launches and boosters returning on RUclips with sound that is exactly what you will hear and feel. Hope this is helpful info for you.
@@bethanyhuber2598 thx!
Just about to begin the process of a new build in a subdivision in Parrish. Beautiful home, reasonably priced, and 30-40 minutes from Anna Maria. Wish me luck 😉
I built my house in Parrish in 2010..no regrets other than the huge number of people moving there but I cant blame them. It is a beautiful area
Nothing like the beaches of South Walton. 🐬 30A is paradise.
Blue mountain:)
Enjoyable video
Appreciate you feedback.
Looking forward to possibly moving to Florida in the near future, would love to have some assistance with finding a property fitting for me and the family.
I like both coasts but spend more time in the emerald isle now because of location. Florida, what's not to love🏖️🌴🌞❤️
Lived on both coasts.
Ft Myers Beach had a laid back vibe; alot of happy campers. 😅
I loved the East Coast some years ago; lived in various places in Palm Beach County (Boca, Deerfield, Delray). Late wife and son attended school and university in PBC. It became a bit 'invaded' recently with people lacking respect for neighbors and property.
I'm now 62, currently staying in the NE part of the Country (near the Poconos in PA). Moved north in 2020 when COVID took over SW FL. I miss the Sunshine State everyday 😢😢
I'm watching videos on all areas; would like to move to a small town area (not hours from a beach, quiet, affordable). The Villages is far from my 'dream place' to retire.
Looking to rent for now; open to babysit a snowbird's residence short term.
Did I say I miss Florida everyday????
Liked the video!!!!!
Funny, we are from the Northeast in Maryland and really enjoyed the area with access to DC Bmore, Ocean city and the Poconos. We are the same age as you and retired to Punta Gorda just north of Ft Myers. We love it here. We are on the water with a boat and a pool, but we go back north at least a couple times a year to temorarliy do the metropolitan thing (Smithsonian, Kennedy Center, concerts etc) for a little bit then come back to escape the nonsense daily gridlock. We feel we get the best of both worlds!
@@blaster-zy7xx Punta Gorda is nice; I have considered there also!!
I still have my 239 number (F.Myers). When people ask and I tell them where that number is from, almost 100% respond with, "What the hell are you doing up here??? 😂😂😂
I miss Florida everyday.
Great analysis, keep making videos!
Your video goes along with something I heard, that Miami is where you go to be seen and known, and Las Vegas is where you go to disappear.
NICE INFORMATION APPRECIATE THAT.LOOKING FOR MOVING FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA WEST COAST THANKS 🙏.
Thank you for the kind comment. Hope we meet someday in Florida
I liked the title, but I wish you did the East vs West Differences. I don’t believe I got them. You just said that west was different vibe. I did learn that there are more beaches on east that west does not have a nude beach. Please redo. I really like the concept.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. This was an earlier video of mine and I am looking forward to improving this one (re-do) - Best,
This was super informative, thanks Troy! P.s. I'll email you as I'm looking for a place in Florida :) - Cindy
Miami is northern Cuba.
South Florida is the best part of Florida cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale and key west, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, have a different lifestyle from other parts of Florida beautiful beaches and restaurants and good nightlife.🙌🏻❤️🇺🇸
It's much faster pace on the East Coast - I like to visit there.
@@FloridaRealEstateInsight East Coast can’t compare to South Florida
For walkability and bike riding close to water but away from loud busy roads would you say the east coast or west coast is better? (not big cities, normal sized cities/areas) Thank you!
Can't beat west coast beaches!
Also west coast biatches 😁😁😁
I agree. Love the West Coast!
Eh no waves gotta pay to park or hard to find parking except Bradenton and siesta key
Depends on who, and how many people, farted at the beach that day. Was it windy?
Closer to retirement we thought about a winter home in Florida. We like the beaches but also like hiking and kayaking. What area would give us all that ?
Brevard County.
I have been considering moving to Florida. I am more familiar with the east coast - Miami area than the west coast. I have only been to the west coast once. I love Haulover Beach.
If you love Haulover Beach, then East Coast is a good fit for you. The west coast has noting like that over here.
@@FloridaRealEstateInsight I love all beaches, but I haven't been to any beaches on the Gulf side yet. I believe that the Florida Naturists have been trying to establish a clothing-optional beach on the west coast. Americans are too hung up about simple nudity, unlike Europeans. I am conservative and from the Midwest, but I enjoy the Latin, international vibe of the Miami area.
Wife and I are from Miami, and we are tired of the rat race. It's come to the point where the traffic is unbearable. The people are rude, disrespectful, and uneducated. We moved to Pembroke Pines, where traffic is sometimes better. I have lived in Miami since 1974, and it's not getting better.
We recently bought a waterfront lot in Port Charlotte that does not require flood insurance, and seawall was completed last month. We have elected a contractor to build our house, and it will be hurricane resistant where we won't need insurance. Boca Grande Beach is gorgeous. Tampa Aerial Media has videos on the area.
Hope this helps.
@@roadrunnergtx68 Thanks for sharing
From Pittsburgh. Don't know if we are Northeast or Midwest but West coast Florida seems definitely more appealing.
Thanks for sharing
Used to be fishing and diving vs Old timey quiet coast. Now it’s all nuts
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Troy. I live in SFL and want out of the heat and humidity. Looking to move to NC or TN. Do you think you will ever move to another state?
Thanks for your feedback - I foresee having my Winter home in Sarasota, FL & Summer home in Flat Rock, NC
Gulf vs Atlantic..I think Atlantic water is little colder then the gulf..sands are different as well..
Hollywood beach is awesome
West coast has good surfing. Mavericks in the winter time has huge waves 25 foot plus.
Thanks for sharing - Actually the East Coast has better surf than the West Coast.
Mavericks, code red 🤙🏼
South Coast is the best Miami and Broward County, Hallandale Beach ☀️.
what part of California did you live I lived in ventura area
Funny how he doesnt even know that there is a Northern California with farms and country folks...
Is North Fort Myers and The Punta Gorda area safe ?
Well that saddens me to hear that
As a native Floridian this was the 1st time in my life I ever heard Miami being referred to as the “central area” of the state when it comes to beaches if you include the Keys. Uhhhh…that’s going to confuse a lot of new people moving to FL lol. Here’s a better breakdown for you:
NE FL beaches: (Fernandina/Jax Beach/St Augustine) great surf, more local vibes, good mix of gritty/party/quiet options, not touristy with the exception of St Augustine. Definitely some GA vibes mixed in here.
Central FL Beaches: (Daytona, Ormond Beach, Cocoa, Space Coast) - best surfing in the state, but watch for sharks, party culture strong here, it can get quiet too if you live in Melbourne. Close to Orlando!
Southeast Fl: (West Palm Beach, Ft Lauderdale, Miami) - Party, Loud, Expensive, Fast Paced Life, Latin/International Culture, very touristy.
Southwest Fl: (Tampa, Sarasota, St Pete, Naples, Ft Myers) - white sand, green gulf water, a good mix of South and North FL, not too quiet but not too loud. Party in St Pete, but kick back in Sarasota at the Siesta keys, most non native Floridians tend to live on the SW part of the state. Old/Rich live from Sarasota to Naples, the young and party centric live in TB/St Pete/Clearwater.
NW FL aka the Redneck Riviera: (Pensacola, Destin, Panama City) beautiful sand and water, outside of Spring Break and Mardi Gras it’s pretty slow here. Tons of Bama, Louisiana, Mississippi & GA people here.
Key West & the Keys: it’s another country, might as well be an extension of Cuba lol. Island Time all the Time.
Just a general question… out of Atlantic and gulf sides… which beaches are relatively clearer in the water
definitely west. less polluted & crowded
There’s a lot of difference between the color of the water in the West Coast an East Coast. The east coast water is much darker like a gray color , but the water on the West Coast is beautiful. Sometimes it’s almost emerald green.& the sand is much whiter .
When I studied the state ten years ago.. planning my move, Jacksonville is actually a coastal city with lower Hurricane risk, and the reason is that the coastline on the East has a little diagonal . Further West in Jacksonville, and further East in Miami, but I think the reason Jacksonville is spared is due to Weather fronts pushing hurricanes slightly away from the coast there, and they make landfall in the Carolinas instead. Naples was supposedly also lucky, but not this year. But since SW FL just got creamed, they aren't due for many years now... statistically.
Good insight - thanks for sharing
Do hurricanes care about statistics? My impression is they like to break norms and set new records. 🙂
Jacksonville is south Georgia 🤟🏻
@@653j521 are you aware of what HAARP is & does? Look into it.
We moved from the central valley of CA to the west coast of FL. Just south of Tampa/St Pete.
We'd like to buy 1-5 acres of land that we can build on.
Suggestions?

Can you tell me what good cities are there to live in the West Coast of FL? And some of the most affordable ones not meaning ones with high crime. Thanks.
Sarasota is mostly great but very expensive and they try to be snobby which is ridiculous.
Your parameters cancel each other out.
What beach are you currently in shooting this video bro? It looks like the Gulf Side!
He’s on the west coast.
Hi
What are the best reasonable cities to live in Florida?
Good Question - Future video coming - yet reasonable in Florida usually also means High Crime.
Which coast has the best scuba diving?
Try the Springs in North Florida - amazing!
No one mentioned the fact that generally, the west coast attracts more midwesterners, and the east coast attracts more New Yorkers, Bostonians, etc.
Not enough surf on the Gulf, more hurricane and red tide prone also. If you wanna retire and just do nothing on a beach and bar hop then the gulf coast is for you.
Active lifestyle all day long on the East Coast. Plus all the rocket launches and Daytona raceway.🤙
I Loved Panama city beach Its Beautiful. Cost of living in 1996 was not good and wages even Worse, the Police only made 725 an hour and 911 Dispatch only made 525 an hour. So I moved back home.
Yes, the wages in FL have been too low
I think I like the west coast.
Miami is the Seattle of Florida then.
Don't forget about water quality. Red tide and algae blooms .
I Just move to Costa Rica from FL to much BS in Florida with Hurricanes taxes and insurance compañías trying to get all you money
Miami is not even close to the center east coast. Miami is a big busy city and nothing like the center east coast. The center east coast is Sebastian and Vero beach which are still pretty quiet but have been growing quickly.
stay east coast of Florida if you are from up north.
The reason that you know so much about the nude beaches there is because?
LOL
Everyone move to Florida 🎉🎉🎉
As long as it doesn’t become a blue state.
The west coast gets red tide
This is true - thanks for sharing. I will bring that up in a future video.
What does it matter Florida is just too expensive. They want 150,000 for a trailer that was demolished by hurricane
We call it snobby
To me, the matter is moot. No ocean beaches for me.
Thanks for sharing
West Coast has red tide
It does .... also has Sunsets :)
I would
say if you’re thinking of moving to Florida…DON’T.
I prefer the ocean to the gulf
Florida is where woke goes to die👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing
Yadayadayada!! Get to the freaking point!!!!
lol - thanks for feedback.
Don't NYC our beautiful Florida !!!!!
Your face is far too close to the camera. It’s very uncomfortable to watch you.
Good feedback - Thank you for your input
Oh shaddup.
That’s what you took out of this video…jeez…
