Where is the best place to live in Florida or near the beach in other states

Where is the best place to live in Florida or near the beach in other states?
My boyfriend and I are thinking about relocating to Florida from the midwest. We both love the beach and are looking for something that's not terribly touristy and maybe a good place to raise a family in a few years. Low crime rate and affordable housing is also important. He would prefer to be near at least a smaller city to find work, and I would love to be able to live on the water at some point. Would love to find a place with a sense of community and not primarily retirement-based or touristy. Any perspective and info is much appreciated!

I suggest living in Orlando, Florida. I've been on several business trips over there and It is amazing it's very clean and friendly a perfect place for you and your husband and future members of the family. Orlando is also where Disneyworld is located at so that is always fun and its also not to far away from a short roadtrip to the beach. I think it is the friendliest place i have been to and the weather is just right not to windy like at the beach but not to polluted and hot. Not to mention the prices they are somewhat cheap a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom is up for 1,275 a month so its a good deal. good luck!
