Parent: I love everything about Templeton Academy! They are very supportive of my son's challenges and provide it when needed. The teachers are team players with the parents as well. The project based curriculum is awesome! It gives the students the chance to learn to work as a team and also use critical thinking skills. The class schedule is unique as well where the student will take 2 courses per semester for 10 weeks and still get all their required credits. Even though school is virtual right now, my son has met some friends. Oh and the class sizes are nice and small. Another thing I love about Templeton is how they praise the accomplishments of their students. My son is featured on their social media pages for winning 2 scholarships for being a philanthropist. I highly recommended Templeton Academy for a middle and high school choice. You won't be disappointed!... Read 28 reviews

Current Resident: I was raised with a father in the military and have been many places -- moving almost every 2 years. I moved here when I was 17-years-old and fell inlove with the area and the people. I love the laid-back, relaxing feel of the area. Love being able to go to a waterfront restaurant, eat fresh seafood and listen to area musicians at most of the local pubs. Beautiful skies, great weather, best place I have every lived....

Current Resident: Retired here almost two years ago after having lived in the three counties south of Martin. There is simply no comparison when you consider the congestion, quality of life and unobtrusive political environment. The world appears upside down these days with activists and compliant media looking to change all sorts of longstanding institutions. With no data with which to back up their cases. From the (near) moment I arrived in Martin with a seamless, speedy and polite auto and license registration process in Hobe Sound to the friendly Publix and golf course staff, I have been completely satisfied with my decision to migrate north to saner pastures. And don't for one second forget the lower tax and cost of living environment. Come to Martin, we'll love to have you.... Read 12 reviews

Current Resident: My experience with lee county is its a great county for as long as I've been living in it. Ever since I've been here the county has always done its best to make the residents happy. For example putting up gas stations, offering new jobs, and building new schools. By doing these things it makes the residents of the county happy because it gives them a place to get new jobs and a have a well educated and bright place for there kids to learn in. Although, one thing I would change about lee county is its night life. The nightlife is very dead and there's nothing to do. Therefore, if they can have places to go to or have fun activities to do, it would be so much better.... Read 16 reviews

Current Resident: I’ve been living in citrus springs for a bit know and all I have to say about this place is that it’s a rich area of arts and greenery. There’s so many kind people that leave here. Neighbors that save to you while you drive back to your house the elderly that strike up conversations that are just light hearted. It’s a close knit community but it isn’t suffocating.

Current Resident: for the most part, this is a great place to live just not a lot to do. The schools are very equipped with up to date learning tools that give a cutting edge advantage to the primitive equipment from past skill set programs. With this advantage, you will be a success in the profession you have been trained in including those related to that field. For example, I went to Manatee Technical College for a Patient Care technician. With the skills I learned, I was able to do Home health aide at an Assisted Living facility, I was proficient in organization and time managing to become a manager at Walmart and further my education by enrolling in a University becoming a surgical technologist. Now I am currently a returning student at Manatee Technical College's LPN program that will prepare me, once again, for my future advancements towards becoming a Registered nurse or even a Registered Nurse Anesthetist....

Current Resident: Transportation infrastructure means that I lose about 10 miles per gallon driving locally vs in a rural area, which comes with cost. Rent is difficult to sustain as a low income student in a local college, but my peers with higher family contributions to their education have little to no issue finding rent within their price range.

Former Resident: I really enjoyed living in Flagler Beach and Palm Coast. I lived in a brand new building from 2010-2012. I could walk to a giant Publix and everyone was always really friendly there. Now as far as the beach goes, the water is not really warm but yes you have something to do if you like fishing, there is lots of it around. Driving is really straight forward if you take A1A and you get the sense of what is new to town there going south. I used to go to the humane store to donate and shop for the animals and make friends. Getting gas is actually really convenient anywhere. It is a nice location if you go to Orlando for anything. I would recommend people live here if they worked from home and liked to go surfing because it is really laid back. People desire better entertainment options but the fact is, the city is not that populated still. Maybe one day they can bring in a stadium or something comparable!... Read 13 reviews
