Florida has always relied heavily on the tourist economy, so residents' income can rise and lower on a seasonal basis. If you're a single person with an unstable income and you need a place to live, consider a house share. When homeowners find themselves in an economic crunch in Florida, it's common for them to advertise to find a roommate to help out with the bills. While this is common throughout the state, room share houses are more common in some parts of the area than others.

Central Florida
Orlando, Kissimmee, Davenport and the surrounding communities were all built as a reaction to the tourist attractions in the middle of the state. Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and a number of other attractions call tourists from the world year-round. This caused builders to create entire communities of large vacation homes, meant to be rented out by the week. Ever since the economic troubles began in the late 1990's, landlords have had trouble renting out these pricey houses to vacationers, and people looking for rooms to rent have benefited from the situation. If you're looking to house share in a 2,500 square foot house with a built-in pool and a library, you'll have a variety from which to choose. For just a few hundred dollars a month you can find rooms to rent in luxury mini-mansions. You'll have three or four roommates, but you'll have room to spread out and avoid each other, for the most part.

East Coast
The east coast of Florida, from Daytona down past Cocoa Beach, is known as the Space Coast. The area has been hit with a large economic downturn in the last few years, and many homeowners are looking for find a roommate to help pay the bills and mortgage. Couples whose children have grown and moved out often have extra rooms for rent, and the price can be very reasonable. This part of the state is known for its natural beauty, between the sugar sand beaches of Daytona to the water and wildlife of the Intercoastal Waterway. If you love fishing, boating or just enjoying peaceful scenes of water and nature, you'll love this part of Florida. The economy makes it easy to find rooms for rent in the area, while the environment makes it an ideal place to stay.

Finding a room share in Florida can be a simple process all across the state, but if you consider geography before choosing an area, you'll have a simpler time choosing the right place to live.
