Retirees Flock to Alternative Sunbelt State Amid Florida's High Prices.
More retirees are looking for alternatives to Florida due to high prices and are turning to other Sunbelt states like Alabama. A couple from Minnesota purchased a coastal home in Baldwin County, Alabama for $955,000, which comes with a pool and pool house, and is located on a small barrier island with a gated community accessible by only one bridge. The house offers a beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico and reminds the couple of their trip to Italy.
