I understand this. And he can choose, so I am guessing he is leaning toward new. The Premier Village on 466 and the one in Pennecamp are only four years old and have the newer stuff, but the newest ones have even more updated appliances.
Here is my bet, Retiring will end up south of 466A and will find wonderful, welcoming and fun folks there. Just like so many of us landed in the perfect spot. He is having fun looking and digesting, mulling over things like palms or no palms, three car garage or two and golf cart, what kind of golf cart. Where do I want the sun to hit my home in the evening. Do I want a corner lot. What kind of view out the back? A pool or no pool? What kind of screen enclosure, pillars or not?
He has worked his whole life to enjoy the process he is going through right now.
I enjoy his journey.

Gracie, you know me well. I enjoy my smart house. Yes, I like the latest gadgets. I have the remote controlled lighting and blinds and fireplace and tankless water heater and some fancy push button stuff in the kitchen. A central vac with an auto dustpan. Wifi locks, etc etc. I’m able to be so dependent on electric, where I am now, because I can use a natural gas generator that kicks in for a power outage. The (new) homes I’ve seen so far in TV have all been electric. Salesman said all the new areas are electric. No way I can risk a smart house if I don’t have a natural gas generator in the event of a power outage. I don’t want to go down the propane tank route. I can live without (most) of the bells and whistles but I will need a minimum 3 car + golf cart garage. There are many reasons I’m leaning towards new. The obvious reasons and no less important, comprehensive sinkhole insurance. I plan to visit The Villages Insurance after lunch. All I know about sinkhole coverage is what I was told by the TV Real Estate agent.
Since I don’t drink, never have, I will use the wine bar space for something else
