You can even combine the trip with a vacation. Off-peak season from June through October offers much lower rates and packages, even at 5-star hotels. And bargain tickets are offered to the Orlando theme parks from DisneyWorld to Universal. First, check out your desired home or condo locations at Lang Realty. Communities Then visit VisitFlorida, the state’s official marketing site that lists all the “deals” and partners in cities where you’re already looking. Roundtrip airfares are cheaper too at Miami International, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Palm Beach International airports. “Save Big,” as much as 80%, is the message from cruise lines serving ports in Miami and the Port of Palm Beach.
Nothing closes down in the off-season here anymore. Moving to Boca? There are eight free “Summer in the City” concerts in the open-air Mizner Amphitheater that include “Hamilton”: Movie of the stage performance on July 24 to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary. Boca Ballet Theatre’s two summer performances are Aug. 1 and 2. Delray Beach has a summer greenmarket and free movies in the square.
All the art museums, from the Norton in West Palm Beach’s Art After Dark to Boca and Fort Lauderdale keep a full schedule of exhibits and programming for adults and kids. Not to mention summer city and private day camps with revolving registrations, most weekly, and specializing in everything from tech topics to cooking. House-hunters are well aware of the weather this time of year and what to expect. We’re subtropical, not just warm; we’re closer to the sun. So don’t forget to wear a hat and sunscreen. There’s always our beautiful beaches.
