What is the absolutely best/worst place to live in FL?
Everyone knows at least one "this-is-an-armpit" and an "I could live here forever" place in Florida. Which is yours?
Not everyone can afford to live in Palm Beach and many would not even want to go anywhere near Miami, but there have to be places that are fabulous and others we all need to avoid.
What are they?

I would say opalocka would be a pretty bad place to live. I also remember an area called orange city near orlando. I was there about 5 years ago and there was litterally nthing but a few orange groves and little gas stations. TONS of bugs and ungodly hot and humid.
I love Boca, west Palm beach, Key West. I have yet to go to St. Augustine but i am a history lover and i think that place would keep me interested for a long time!

Lots of pretty nice places. I think for me Miami is about the worst. I won't even go there. |

The worst is either Opa-Locka or Riviera Beach, they're both pretty bad. The best can be debatable...

I have never travelled to Miami-West Palm area or Naples. Having excluded those areas I would say the best is St.pete, Sarasota, and Destin. Worst is Lakeland.
