Florida Ridge, FL 268 Apartments for Rent

Fun Fact: Most people in Florida think Florida Ridge and Vero Beach share a zip code. Not-So-Fun Fact: That means you have to be extra clear when giving people directions.

Here are a few quick facts to get you in the know for Florida Ridge: Florida Ridge is a small township with a population density of 18,164. Like Vera Beach, it is a part of Indian River County. Florida Ridge runs dubiously close along the neighboring towns of Vera Beach CITY--and they may even share some municipal services, like water and electricity--but Florida Ridge is a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or unincorporated Census Designated Place (CDP), and thus not a city. Except for a few legal technicalities, Florida Ridge has all the looks and economic advantages to keep up the façade as a Vera-Beach-City-wannabe, but it doesn't need to. Renting an apartment or condos for rent in Florida Ridge will not be too much of a challenge!

Planning a Successful Move

If you are not a Floridian, you may want to acquire a Florida's drivers license early. Florida law requires you to obtain your license within 30 days of establishing a residence or face penalties. Round up essential documents you will need to produce on different occasions; these document include:

• Certified proof of birth

• Credit card report

• Birth certificate

• Social security card

• Character references

• Voters registration

Familiarize yourself with property taxes and tax laws in general to avoid any unnecessary challenges or compliance issues in your new locale.
