Nancy, a 68-year-old retiree, moved back to Virginia from Florida due to escalating costs and the heat.
“There’s so much you don’t know about living in Florida and owning a home in Florida until you’re actually living it,” Nancy said.
The Census Bureau’s 2022 American Community Survey found that between 2021 and 2022, nearly 23,800 people moved from Florida to Virginia, while almost 33,000 moved from Virginia to Florida.
AdvertisementNancy moved with her husband to Cape Coral 11 years ago after four of her five kids moved there.
They settled on Cape Coral for the beach access and warm weather, and for the first few years, they made the most of their time there.
