Buying a place on the South Florida coast has been a dream for millions of American retirees over the past decades and a main driver of in-migration to the state.

But now, a combination of factors—including a slowdown of the Florida housing market, rising HOA fees and higher property insurance premiums—is turning this dream into a nightmare for many Sunshine State homeowners.

Many are being forced to sell their homes and relocate, whether within or outside the state, while local lawmakers warn against a rise in homelessness among seniors in South Florida.
