In the video, Rajput spoke about the lifestyle, outdoor spaces and community amenities that, according to her, make Florida special. She said, “I think that once someone comes to Florida, they won't move to any other state. There is a lot to explore in Florida, beaches, amusement parks, springs, and even these communities have so many amenities and facilities available.”

‘Now I feel like I can't move to any other state’

“We came to the pool this evening to spend some time. This pool is right by the clubhouse near our house, so we thought we'd come here with friends. My son and his friends were really enjoying themselves, and the water in this pool is always warm. There is also a separate kids' pool for children,” she said.

“Apart from the pool, there is a park, a kids' play area, plenty of trails for walking, and lots of nice places to relax. There is also a tennis court and a basketball court where you can always see kids playing. So in the evening, whenever we get bored, we come here with our friends. Every resident can also bring guests along with them. After living in Florida for five to six years, now I feel like I can't move to any other state.” she said.
