We all know Florida is dubbed the "Sunshine State” thanks to its warm and often sunny weather. It’s a top state for relocation when weather is a factor, especially for snowbirds looking for reprieve from the colder climates of the Northeast and Midwest.

While our summers can boast high temperatures, we’re lucky to have seasonably good weather during the other three seasons, with winter being very mild compared to other parts of the US.

What does all this weather talk have to do with golf, you ask? The better the weather, the more tee times you can take advantage of, and the benefits of owning a home in a golf community are pretty interesting, too.

Four weeks of winter, you say? Yes, that is pretty accurate for us Floridians. 

Living in a state like Florida, which tends to have mild winter weather, is a plus for many people. Maybe you haven't realized it yet yourself, though.  We thought it might be fun to come up with a list of reasons why everyone should appreciate living somewhere that only has four weeks of winter. 

Living in a downtown area has many benefits over living in a subdivision, master planned community or on acreage on the outskirts of town.
