The reasonable cost of Living of Highland Gates vs a FL Ocala retirement community.

Cost of living in a Florida retirement community as vs a more reasonable location such as Highland Gates Community in North Hall County .2 miles from the North Hall Community Center.

What will you pay in Home Owners insurance in a Florida retirement community?
 At least double. The high level of occurrence of storms and hurricanes in FL is almost certain to impact the cost insurance. Though the numbers do have some small variation depending on how far you are from the storm surge, You can bet that you will be paying a sight more in FL storm  ridden shores than in the mountain gate

Will my tax bill at Highland Gates in the serene and beautiful Mountains of North Ga be less than it would be in a Fl retirement community?
> Almost certainly, the bill will be based on the value but the rate is surely lower.

Did you know that FL  Has a 2 tier real estate tax system, new home owners pay more than long time home owners. A great deal if you have been there a while. Nothing quite like being considered a tourist in the state in which you reside is there?
However here at Highland Gates at the foothills of the fabulous Blue Ridge Mountains where the air is crisp and not saturated with humidity, you will be treated like a resident, once you actually reside here. Not 20 years from now. In Fl the tax bill on a 200 k home annually $3,820. In hall county where the lovely Highland Gates resides your effective average tax rate for a 200k home will be approx. $2180 dollars annually. On a retirement budget, I know which I would prefer to pay annually.

So visit Highland Gates, and enjoy a higher standard.
