OK, so here's my take as a Gainesville resident for almost four years. It's ok. Used to be better. Now the economy sucks. Can't give your home away if you choose to sell, but you can certainly buy a lot right now if you're looking. Mine will be for sale in a couple of months if you're interested!
It's not as hot as you may think, well, at least Gainesville. We're midway between the two coasts so we get a lot of breeze. There are beautiful hills and horse farms just south of us. Not a lot of older folks here in Gainesville. Also, don't know your political persuasion but Gainesville is a little blue dot in the middle of a big red state.
I don't care one bit for Orlando. Well, all of Orlando anyway. Downtown is very nice, because very few tourists go downtown. That damn mouse is everywhere there.
We're leaving here because of work, along with just about everyone else. The economy has really turned so bad that even though we're doing ok with royalties from music, there's just so little work around here that it's just not fun anymore.
Good luck.
