It comes as no surprise that people from the north move to Florida every year in droves. For decades the migration to Florida was as obvious as the ripe colors of the oranges on the Florida trees. Now, as hundreds of thousands of Floridians start to miss the comforts of the north, a new movement is rising, one that has Florida residents becoming Halfbacks.
A Florida Halfback is a nickname given to Floridians that originally migrated to Florida from the north, but now prefer to live halfway back, in the scenic mountain and lake areas of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. The official website for those aspiring to be part of the Halfback movement is FloridaHalfbacks.com.
FloridaHalfbacks.com offers visitors a comprehensive guide to spending time in these beautiful mountain and lake regions with just a few clicks of a button. The website provides detailed information on real estate agents, cabin rentals, hotels, bed and breakfast inns, developments, campgrounds, attractions, and more for those considering a temporary or perpetual stay in the mountain and lake regions.
Advertisers sweeten the pot for those visiting FloridaHalfbacks.com by offering incentives geared towards Florida residents to spend time in the mountain and lake regions of the Southeast. The website is easy to navigate, offering visitor’s subject related pages on all of the Halfback regions. One can visit the website for twenty minutes and have an abundance of information that will facilitate their ability to enjoy the area.
Several factors fueling the Florida Halfback trend include cooler milder weather, less traffic, lower real estate prices, and significantly lower property tax and insurance for home owners. All of the above factors have made becoming a Florida Halfback an enticing option.
With the growth of interest in the mountain and lakes regions, it is no surprise that FloridaHalfbacks.com is growing rapidly as well. The just-launched website is already seeing an increase in daily traffic. Combine the traffic increase with a user friendly online forum community, and it is safe to assume this site will be a major resource for those looking to relocate to this special region of the country in the near future.
