Thinking about moving to Florida,,,

Finding the houses in the price range is not an issue. The real scary part is not knowing what the area is like. We're not interested in being right in the mix with all of the tourists, and as far as living outside of big cities,,,,, let's just say I'm married to a red headed country girl that doesn't play well with others so being off the beaten path is right up our alley. Thanks for all the responses so far.
