But that doesn’t mean you can’t still find your own little slice of seclusion in the Sunshine State. “When you wake up in the morning, the only noise you hear is the birds outside,” says Rodriguez. “And people who live here work to keep it peaceful.” If you’re in the market for a home that affords that combination of peaceful privacy and easy convenience, check out Outer Homestead.
