Pensacola Area and Florida apartment rental
The Flora-Bama Interstate Mullet Toss
(850-492-0611, www.florabama.com)
Located at the Florida-Alabama border, the Flora-Bama Lounge, Package, Oyster Bar & Grill is well-known
for its Interstate Mullet Toss and beach party, where participants toss mullets, a fish indigenous to the
area, from Alabama across the state line into Florida. The fish-throwing is done in late April on the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
Florida apartment rental is definitively increasing and is
expected
to continue to increase in the coming years. Several factors contribute to that fact, weather,
demographics, structural developments and government interest to name a few.
Weather could not be better considering the hard and strong winter season in the rest of the country.
Demographics is a factor for Florida apartment rental increase because Florida is still under populated
when you compare it to other states of the union. Structural developments is another factor of Florida
apartment rental increase if you consider the many high rise buildings under construction in the market
today. And government interest if you consider the tax dollars they collect in property tax alone. All
that under consideration, Florida apartment rental is way, way up.
