Niceville, the nicest little city in the South, has been named Florida’s best place to live by the travel website, SmartTravel.Tips. Niceville topped SmartTravel.Tip’s recent 10 Best Places to Live in Florida.

“It would have been tempting to include Niceville on our list of the 10 best places to live in Florida based on name alone, but luckily Niceville has more than earned its place for other reasons.
