Relocation guide
Moving to Florida from New York
More households leave New York for Florida than any other route in the country. Most are trading a high-tax base and a co-op board for a title deed, a garage and a shorter winter.
Why New York households make the move
- No state or city income tax — the single largest change to your net worth on day one
- Property taxes that buy square footage instead of a maintenance charge
- Direct daily flights from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Tampa to all three NYC airports
- Homestead protection and no state estate tax for legacy planning
Where New York movers usually land
Miami Beach & Bal Harbour
Closest in energy and walkability to Manhattan.
Palm Beach & Jupiter
Quieter, established, strong Northeast community.
Tampa & St. Petersburg
More home per dollar with a real downtown.
