Starting a new life in Florida has proved successful

Jonathan Marriott grew up in London where he lived with his wife and two children and ran a graphic design business.

It was in 2004, that Jonathan decided to start a new life in America and as his wife had family in Florida, he chose to buy a home there.

“The American lifestyle appealed to me and as our children are still relatively young, Aliza is now 13 years old and Ruby is 11 years old, it was the perfect time to make such a life changing move, before the children got too firmly entrenched in high school and so forth.
There is also a different attitude to life out here. People seek to be successful and achieve. There is a whole different approach to many things which make a pleasant change from that in the UK in recent years. Schools are good and facilities superb. Also of course the weather can alter your whole approach, giving you opportunities to pursue outdoor hobbies and sports year round.

Another factor is the space we have here compared to the UK, both in terms of size and aesthetics. Whether it be the homes we live in – like for like to the UK, the same family will be living in double the space; the roads we drive on - no “high Street” is less than 3 lanes in each direction; the aesthetics of the urban areas – blue lakes, green golf courses and palm trees line the local roads. You feel a lot of freedom – literally and figuratively – in addition to the “can do” attitude. We have never regretted our move”.

Jonathan has now secured a business partnership with Gordon Homes, a highly respected and successful major development company specialising at the luxury end of the property market.

“I felt that Gordon Homes, were building the type of property that appeals to those who appreciate the finer things in life. Traditionally built, in prime locations, they offer everything that a buyer is looking for in a home” added Jonathan.
