    Lived there from 2011 to 2022 as a Canadian snowbird. Absolutely great place. Safe, close to nature, fairly quiet with a quaint little downtown area. Great neighbors.I miss the place.

    Tried to buy a condo in PG. Home insurance as insane if you can get it.

      It really depends on what it is. You said you tried so I assume that means you didn’t end up buying it. Was that the reason you didn’t buy it?

      @@LivinginSouthwestFlorida_ Insurance and HOA were too high with no end in sight. We decided to rent for the winters but that is increasing substantially every year.

      Yes, rental costs are going up substantially every year as well. It depends on how long you spend down here every year on how much sense it makes to buy but typically if it is 3 months or more it makes sense no matter what you do with it the rest of the time and if you spend less than that but are open to renting it out during the time you aren’t using it it still makes more sense than renting. It typically only makes sense to rent if you are staying less than 3 months and’s not willing to rent it when you aren’t using it.

    I drove over the harbor bridge once, the wakes from boats looked very brownish to muddy. Is that river realty dirty

      No, I wouldn’t consider the Peace River dirty. Though, if I’m being honest, Florida in general does not do a great job of regulating contaminates going into its waters. However the Peace River is in much better shape than many others. Mud and silt being stirred up happens mostly when there has recently been heavy rains and the fresh water is flowing faster than usual and that area is where the river meets the harbor and you can get a mix of the fresh water hitting the incoming tide which may stir up that mud and silt.
