Are there any emerging areas for long term rental investments with Condos in Florida

[Mitchell Atiles]

I’m looking to invest in the Florida condo market for long-term rental income and am hoping to get some advice. I’m especially interested in identifying up-and-coming neighborhoods or lesser-known coastal areas where properties are still affordable but poised for growth over the next 5–10 years.

For context, I’ve mostly been researching popular spots like Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. However, established areas can often come with a premium price tag and thinner margins. Instead, I’m curious if anyone here has insights into emerging “hidden gem” neighborhoods—places where new infrastructure, improved amenities, or shifting demographics could drive property values and rental demand in the near future. 

Thanks
