I will be relocating with my SO from Florida for a job in Gaylord within the next few weeks and trying to figure out the best area to live. Willing to commute up to an hour from this city (once we have winter tires).
We’re a young couple with no kids (just dogs) and hoping to find somewhere that doesn’t feel too isolated, where we could potentially make friends and still have some things to do nearby. We have temporary housing at least until Spring.
Housing inventory seems pretty limited, so I’m also trying to get a sense of where long-term rentals are most available and the best time to look before more places get tied up as vacation rentals. We’re open to apartments, houses, or anything reasonable that isn’t crazy expensive.
For locals: where would you recommend looking for year-round living? Does rental inventory or pricing usually change much going into winter vs spring, and when is the best time to find something?
This will be a huge transition, and would really appreciate any advice on what to expect and how to prepare for the move. Thanks!
