Yes. They are both regions that had major growth over the past several decades because the Disney company decided to build theme parks there. I've never been to Florida, so I was curious.

Comparing the 2 is akin to comparing apples and kumquats, with OC, FL coming up short.
So much misinformation from people who don't live here. I live in Palm Beach County in one of the nicest and most expensive towns. You can still rent a nice two bedroom condo or TH for $850 to $900 here. You can also buy an inexpensive condo or TH here for $75,000 and a decent small house for $125.000. Condo fees are in the $150 to $200 a month. Car insurance about $1,000 a yr. for later model car and good coverage. Real estate taxes about $1,200 to $1,500 for house with homestead exemption. Insurance included in condo fees, and on house about $1,500 a yr. Utilities, elec (ac on most of yr) water, sewer and garbage about $225 a month. Now if you buy a big expensive home on the beach or inter coastal, well that's a horse of a different color. By the way, I am only about 4 miles from beach. There are cheaper places in Florida for sure. But I don't find these prices bad for the type of area I get to live in and all that is available here.
I just got a home insurance quote for $1800 on a SFR rental n Sarasota/Bradenton. If I lived there he said it will be $2600/yr. So condos and townhomes have full homeowners ins included?
Do I really need hurricane insurance? seems like a condo/or townhome is the way to go to be on 2nd floor and above possible water damage.
