How can you search for an aviation community ?

[dsmithlib]

We plan to move from our snowy midwest home in the next few years and have begun shopping. I am a homebuilder and as such have a couple of priorities. My strategy is locate one or two areas and then shop for the right home.

On an airport OR within 10 minutes of a vital community airport

An active aviation community - EAA chapter

With our own kind..... we are not celebrities and will never own a twin or a jet

Easy access to hangars

Less than 45 minutes to a mid-sized city with commercial air

Known assessments and tax rate

Well south of IL

I am looking to narrow my search by trying to find the target areas. There are many very good realtors but they usually have an interest in a specific area which they sell hard.

I have not been able come up with a good airport locator that allows me to figure some of this out.

Does anyone know where something like this might exist ?

Thanks.......

There seem to be a decent number of them down in the Carolinas and Florida.

When I was down in Florida there was a SLEW of affordable places and I am sure some might just fit into your criteria.

A quick google search turned up this site: http://www.floridaairporthomes.com/ along with many others.

My term was airpark home.

Florida is a very active GA state with LOTS of RV's flying.

I visited 2 airparks while I was down there and both had RV's based there.
