Celebrities with Waterfront Homes in Florida

Why do celebrities come to live in Florida? Of course, many know the answer. They come to enjoy the weather, the beaches, the golf courses, and the most-often-mentioned income-tax-free life.

They also come to enjoy waterfront homes. Celebrities love waterfront homes, as these homes evoke the feeling of living in a magnificent resort while basking in the privacy of one’s own abode. Water views all-around and private access to boats add to the magnificence.

It’s no wonder that a big percentage of multimillion-dollar homes in Florida are waterfront homes. In the Tampa Bay region, many of the most expensive homes are on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, on the Intracoastal Waterway, on Tampa Bay, on Hillsborough Bay and other
large water features.
