It’s a nice college town and generally pretty livable with good amenities. Hilly in spots, more live oaks than palm trees. Home prices not crazy by Florida standards. Not too far from Jacksonville/Tampa/Orlando if you ant to spend some time in a bigger city snd Panama City Beach is doable as a day trip if you’re good with longer driving.

What is affordable? We'd need more to go on to provide the best advice. Are you work from anywhere?

The days of <$1,000/mo rents, and <$300k homes are gone from all places that single younger people are attracted to.

The further you live from the coast, the cheaper it gets....generally speaking.

I think the OP moved to North Dakota instead.

The most underrated and affordable parts of Florida are the places most undiscovered by transplants, i.e. rural and/or out of the way places not near the beach.

Deltona and Boynton Beach are nothing like each other.

My thoughts on Deltona are all negative. What's the appeal?

My thoughts on Boynton Beach are that it's South Florida. South Florida is either your thing or it isn't.

I personally think that the Gulf Coast (AL) and South Atlantic (GA, SC, NC) states are, for the most part, better places to start and raise a family than nearly anywhere in Florida when all factors are taken into account.

It's beautiful to look at. The massive live oaks draped with Spanish moss, the gentle rolling hills, the tasteful architecture in the older parts of town, a stellar parks system, the presence of an elite research university...

I love Tallahassee and would happily live there again if the circumstances were right.

How do you figure that? Tallahassee, being the capital of the state and the center of the state's cultural heartland, is actually quintessential Florida.

It's one of the prettiest cities in FL IMO. It's very hilly and green. I could live there and did live just east of there for a few years.
