Housing in Florida consists of apartments, condominiums, hotels, retirement communities, and houses. Common types of housing in the state include Cracker-style homes, Ranch-style homes, Caribbean-style homes, and condominiums with architectural styles including Spanish Colonial Revival, Victorian, Mediterranean Revival, Art Deco, Pueblo Revival, and modern.

In 2020, there were 3,903 hotel properties in Florida, consisting of 458,721 hotel and motel rooms. In 2019, the American Automobile Association reported that Florida was the 2nd cleanest state in the U.S. by hotel cleanliness, having 485 hotels in the top 25%. Orlando, Florida, was the 4th cleanest city in the country, having 69 hotels in the top 25%.

Apartments are that of a larger company such as a leasing company. These homes are usually single unit residences that are rented on a monthly or yearly basis with the owner of the complex. Apartments are most commonly used by small families, couples, and singles due to their lease flexibility, lower cost, and smaller size. Although nearly every city in Florida has apartments, the larger cities tend to have a much higher volume of these residences.

Many of the condominiums in Florida are considered high-rise condominiums and can feature architecture styles from art deco and more modern forms of architecture. These stand alone buildings are often home to hundreds of individually owned homes that are slightly larger than their hotel counterparts. With the rise of timeshare in the 1970s, many condos in these condominiums are group owned and shared throughout the year amongst the different owners. Condo owners usually share joint facilities such as pools and beachfronts. These communal amenities are commonly shared expenses with each owner being responsible for their share of the cost involved in upkeep.

One common home in the state is a cracker home. Historically, the cracker home is either a farmhouse, townhouse, or a plantation, and began appearing at the turn of the nineteenth century. Characteristics include wood-framed construction, a large front porch, horizontal wood siding in both the exterior and interior, an elevated first floor, a revealed fireplace, an overhang, and a steep roof. The cracker home was made to withstand Florida's harsh climates, and is known today for its energy efficiency. It is prevalent in Naples and North Florida. The home also allows for additional rooms to be attached to the house if needed, forming a compound.

In the Key West, houses also use the Caribbean housing style. Caribbean housing takes influence from The Bahamas and was prevalent from 1825 to the 1890s. It is made of wood and masonry, and characteristics include a courtyard, balcony, and a loggia.

Mediterranean Revival architecture is a housing style common in Palm Beach and Coral Gables. It is an adaptation of Spanish and Moorish architecture, and its popularity has kept it in practice.

Modern architecture is a vernacular style of housing that was in practice from the 1920s to the 1940s and was mainly common in Miami and Miami Beach. During this time, South Florida was embracing Art Deco architecture, and modern architecture consisted of metals, plastics, glass blocks, and glass panels.
