With winter fast approaching the cold is chilling down the entire North American continent, If you live in the northern states there is a pretty good chance you have already had to shovel some of the Polar Vortex snow that’s been dropping all over the country at record levels.

Its time to start looking for your new retirement home and the Daytona Beach area ( Flagler Beach )  is rated as one of the top 7 places to retire in the country.  Lets make it number 1 as it still gets all the seasons of the year without the extremes.  You still have to wear a jacket a few days of the year and you will want to put on light cardigan in the evenings of fall but you will not be pulling out the snow shovel and scraping your car in the morning just to get beyond your driveway.

Lets forget all that is cold and look at all the great homes that are available here in Central Florida. Below you will find a few featured homes for sale as well as links to look at what else is available on the market.
