Most of the people here are elderly so the violent crime rate is uber-low. It takes me 1 hour 10 minutes to get to Disney and 1 hour to get to the Tampa airport. However, there are some wonderful things about where I live: As soon as my lease is up in November, I will be relocating closer to Tampa. then again, with 2 more homeowner insurers pulling out of the business here in Florida, you will make up the cost difference by way of high property taxes and crazy-high insurance rates (auto and home- remember, not only are you in Florida BUT you are now living on the coast) Also, the highschool drop out rate is now 26%. On a positive note, due to the insanely high forclosure rate (over 2000 properties in forclosure) you can get a newer model home for next to nothing. Many of the retail shopping center projects that are in mid-construction are now being abandoned completely and like most places, are witnessing entire shopping centers closing all together. I'll address this issue in a moment but wanted to suggest several options for living within 30-45 minutes of DisneyĤ) Celebration if you can live with the covenantsĪs for anyone who is thinking of living in Spring Hill- Hernando County has the 14% unemployment rate with the primary industries being fishing and retail. I currently live in Spring Hill and can tell you that it is NOT an area that you want to live.
