A good way to get info on a city that I have never been to, and compare it to other cities...?

Question

I'm moving in Sept. I'm looking at going back to Austin. I've already lived there though. Right now I'm thinking of a handful of cities in Florida. I've heard that places like Pensacola and Destin are pretty and very affordable...how do I know if they are bad for crime or no jobs...etc.

What are some affordable places to live near beaches?

How do I find this kind of info?

Answer 1

I would contact a real-estate agent in the area.....tell them that you are looking for a condo - see what they pick for the area in which to move.
