Dunedin at a glance
Local notes: Dunedin
A walkable town with Scottish heritage, a busy Main Street, Blue Jays spring training and Honeymoon and Caladesi islands just offshore. Older cottages and waterfront homes command a premium.
Housing stock in Dunedin
Dunedin has about 21,305 housing units. 53% are single-family homes and 22% are in buildings with 10 or more units, and 11% are mobile or manufactured homes. 61% of homes were built before 1980 and 12% were built in 2000 or later. The median resident is 58 years old. About 12% of housing units are seasonal or occasional-use homes, so part-time residents are a meaningful slice of the market.
Senior and downsizing moves are common here. Ask about packing, estate sale coordination and partial-move pricing.
Hiring a mover in Dunedin
- Check registration. Florida movers for in-state moves must register with FDACS (Chapter 507, F.S.). Interstate movers need a USDOT number from FMCSA.
- Get a written estimate. Florida's moving law requires a written estimate and contract for in-state moves. Read the terms before anything goes on the truck.
- Plan around summer. Afternoon storms and heat affect scheduling from June to September. Book morning slots.
- Island and beach access. Narrow streets and bridge or parking limits in Dunedin can need a smaller shuttle truck. Ask about it up front.
