Life is about more than just money

Regardless of how much you might save, you will enjoy life more here than being cooped-up and snowbound at home, worrying about the costs of heating your home. Don't take our word for it, see the cost of living calculator and decide.

You will save money by wintering at Oleander Acres because your electricity bill will be much less than the cost of heating your home back home during the winter (even considering that you may need to leave the thermostat set to a minimum temperature).
