Homosassa isn't a place to start a career honestly. It's a small town and pretty rural, like you said driving to tampa wouldn't be the best its an hour away.

Port Saint Lucie is near Orlando, about 200 miles away from Homosassa lol.

I love it to death but its not a place to start a career/family but more of a place to retire.

If you are looking for somewhere really quiet, then Homosassa is good, couldn't tell you about jobs though, just know that its not crazy there, all my customers up there have been nice courteous people. Nearest track at that point is probably Gainesville. Good luck on whatever you choose, it is nice to drive the car all year long without worrying about rust or ice.

Homosassa is a great little coastal town. We go scalloping out there every year. Like what was said previously though, it is rather small and I'm not sure what job opportunities would be presented there. I can tell ya though, if you like bay scallops, that's the place to be. Good luck w/ wherever you end up!

My brother worked there at the new power plant they're building there ... pretty desolate area, but, I would imagine it will improve with time. Compared to the rest of Florida, real estate is still obtainable and the cost of living is much better/lower.
