We are relocating to Florida and I am loving the info on Dunedin! Their will be three families-1. Myself, hubby, kid 9. 2. My sister, her hubby , and perhaps two grown children 3. My parents
I have been able to get lots of information online but there are a few things I haven't figured out:
Are there a good place to find rentals? I would love to rent a house, parents might do a mobile home, and my sister will eventually buy. I would love to rent a place with room for my parents (especially if I can find something with a mother in law suite..apartment over garage sorta thing would be thrilling!)

Are there tons of foreclosed homes/businesses or is the downtown and town thriving as it looks online?



Any info would be very helpful.

It's thriving, at least it was the last time I was there in April. I'll be able to tell you more when I arrive in late November for the winter.

Yes, there's lots of real estate for sale, some foreclosures, and prices are very reasonable, but the area seems to be doing very well.

I can recommend a realtor if you like, I believe he can recommend on rentals as well as sales.

Housing wise you will find something in Dunedin for all 3 families...I would just research the schools for your 9year old.You have choices of private and public schools...my kids went to Our Lady of Lourdes in Dunedin but it's been almost 4 years so I don't know how it is now.Garrison Jones is a public school in Dunedin I would check out their scores,there has been big budget cuts in the Pinellas County school system.You also have Dunedin Academy and in nearby Palm Harbor Westlake Christian. Good luck...when we moved from NYC,Dunedin was the first place we lived in and we really loved it!!
