Okeechobee is a relaxed, small lakeside city centered on Lake Okeechobee with world-class bass fishing, boating, birding and wide-open natural scenery—perfect if you want low-cost, friendly basecamp vibes and outdoor downtime after shifts on multi-week assignments.
Larger population centers like Port St. Lucie (≈45 miles) and West Palm Beach (≈60 miles) are an easy drive for expanded dining, shopping and airport options, so you get quiet, nature-focused living with quick access to bigger-city amenities.
