Consider grocery stores, doctors, and places you will go often.
Think about how much time do you want to spend getting to the above.
I would try and be a golf cart ride to a local shopping area and within a 5/10 mile ride to doctors, restaurants and larger shopping areas.
Pay attention to how close you are to your neighbors, how private you outside area will be. What traffic will you have on your road. Headlights shining into your home.
And talk to everyone you can......people here are friendly and helpful and it's easy to open conversations. They will tell you where they live and what their decision process included. At the squares, at the bars, at the coffee shops just ask.......it will be helpful.
