"Undiscovered" islands or beach towns in Florida?

Asked by pallen123 (1519points) March 22nd, 2009

Anyone know of underdeveloped islands or beach towns in Florida that have long term growth potential? I’m interested in possibly buying some land near the beach or a condo. Love Sanibel but it’s very expensive. Interested in a place that may grow in popularity over time, but not necessarily the next Palm Beach.

I’ve heard that there may be growth in the future in the Florida panhandle, up by Cedar Key and Panama City. That seems to be one fo the few underdeveloped areas of Florida near the coast.

We have a place in Dunedin, near Clearwater. It’s very built up but nice and there are opportunities to buy quite cheaply because of the recession, but I wouldn’t call it undiscovered.

Check out El Jobean area, it isn’t far from nice beaches.

Compared to other places in the world, undiscovered does not apply to Florida. If, however, you want a condo or beach place, now is the time as janbb said.

Waterfront condos in popular places have dropped in price by 3/4 or more. Central Florida has been hit very hard by the current recession.

I prefer the West Coast to the Wast. The area around Sarasota is gorgeous.
