Why You Should Retire in Florida

Jan 05, 2021

Yes, these are just a few of the many things you will experience on a daily basis when you choose to retire around sunny southwest or central Florida. If you’ve ever taken a relaxing beach vacation, you know the feeling of the warm breeze in your hair and a cold drink in your hand under a palm tree — and at Medallion Home, we think you should enjoy this feeling every day, not just when you plan for it. 

 

That’s why we created our communities to provide the perfect balance between vacation luxury and everyday comfort. When you settle down in Hampton Lakes or Waverley in Sarasota, Watercolor Place or Aqua in Bradenton, or Lakes of Mount Dora in Mount Dora, not far from Orlando, you’ll enjoy a high-quality home with outdoor living space near all of the things you love in town and beyond. It’s finally time to say hello to 24/7 sunshine, relaxation, and fun! 

 

Why Do People Retire in Florida?

Short drive to the beach. Can you hear the soothing sound of the waves yet? Grab your sunglasses and beach chair… your days are now filled with lots of lounging! 

 

Community amenities. A clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, nearby shops and restaurants — with the different amenities varied by community, there’s always something to do! Open your front door and find everything you love, right at your feet.

 

Outdoor living. Life is better under the sun. With an outdoor living area like a spacious lanai, you can enjoy the simple pleasures of soaking up the sun right at home, whenever you want.

 

Open-concept layout. There’s nothing like having your friends and family over! Enjoy every minute of conversation and laughter without the barrier of walls in the way. 

 

Friendly neighbors. In a Medallion community, your neighbors love to enjoy the things you do, from happy hours and get-togethers to outings in town and more. 

 

Beautiful weather. It goes without saying that the Sunshine State is the place to be for beautiful weather. Finally, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the magic of sunshine and blue skies year-round.

 

No State Taxes. Can you believe it? In Florida, you never have to worry about income taxes, so your money and time is spent on experiences and things that matter most to you. Finally, you have the freedom you deserve to live the way that you want to, and do exactly what you want with your funds. 

 

Charming hometown. All of our communities are specifically built in towns that bring endless happiness into your life. Explore all of the charming local restaurants, shops, and attractions you love! 

 

Outdoor recreation. There’s no place like Florida to swim, hike, bike, play, and relax. From the beach to world-class golf courses and beyond, you have endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.

 

At Medallion Home, we believe that your retirement should be all about you. That’s why our communities around Sarasota and Orlando ensure that you always have the opportunity to do the things you love, day or night. From the single-family homes in Hampton Lakes, Waverley, and Lakes of Mount Dora, to the villas and single-family homes at Watercolor Place, you can choose the personal sanctuary that fits you best.

In Florida and throughout the country, PGT Impact Windows are the gold standard when it comes to storm protection. Here at Medallion Home, we initially offered these premium windows as an upgrade because of the investment but they provide so much benefit to the home and peace of mind to the homeowner that we've decided to make them our standard in every home we build. What Are Impact Windows? Impact windows combine heavy-duty aluminum frames with impact-resistant, laminated glass and a special silicone glazing process to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. That means that during storms and hurricanes, if flying debris hits your windows, they will stay intact rather than shatter, protecting your home from the elements and people and pets from shards of glass. But these windows can do even more. Noise Reduction Your home should be your sanctuary, one where you leave the outside world at the door and that includes noise. Noise pollution is a very real thing and can disrupt your sleep at night, focus during work, or even a good movie night. PGT's impact windows reduce noise from outside by as much as 65%. UV Protection The sun's UV rays are good in small doses to help your body create essential Vitamin D, but there's really no good reason to have them flooding the interior of your home. These powerful rays can fade your furniture, flooring, and drapes, making these items look old and worn before their time. Impact windows can preserve the beauty of your home and help you save money by filtering out 99% of UV rays while still allowing in natural sunlight. Maximum Energy Savings Heating and cooling a home accounts for nearly half of the average American home's energy costs. Security About 23% of all home break-ins are accessed through a first-floor window. Impact windows are designed to withstand repeated impact from a 9-lb, 2x4 beam traveling at 34 miles per hour. It's very, very hard to break an Impact Window (if it can be done at all). It's not the kind of challenge most burglars want to face. Return on Investment For all the reasons above, particularly in Florida where tropical storms and hurricanes are a way of life, impact windows are appealing in any home. These specialty windows can yield as much as an 80% return on investment, ensuring that you'll get top dollar should you ever need to sell your home. Now Standard in All Medallion Homes High quality, impact-resistant windows shouldn't be luxuries - they should be standard features. That's why we now include them in every new home we build. Enjoy the benefits of increased storm protection, noise reduction, UV protection, savings, and security every day. Contact us to learn more.
