Since I grew up in Florida and lived about 30 years here and on the Gulf coast in St. Pete and Pensacola, I didn't look all that much. My parents retired in Spring Hill at a place called Timber Pines. Where would you move if you had the chance to move?
We've been here 5-1/2 years and I have since looked at other areas such as Stonecrest and Summerglen, right up the street from TV, and around Leesburg and Clermont and none of these seem to be very appealing because they are inland like us, but have less to look at and see. I enjoy having a movie theater that is predominately villagers in the audience. I enjoy going to the square and listening to live music that appeals to me. Recently that would be Johnny D and the Starlights.
I have recently visited Spring Hill, that's in Hernando County about an hour's drive south of here along the coast. Not Timber Pines where my parents retired, which is built out, but Heritage Pines, it's another gated community and seemed really nice and a little newer than Timber Pines. They are also built out but more recently and is well maintained and very strict about who can enter. You're 30 to 45 minutes to Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Tampa and an hour to St. Petersburg. That's nice to have the ability to do, and the home prices are unreal, as in much cheaper.
Just here in our area, a builder is advertising new masonry homes on Hwy 42 across from Mulberry Rec Center. It's family housing, but for $189K you get 3BR 2BA, 2Car garage, granite, stainless steel, wood floors, the works. For a working person at the VA or in TV it appears to be ideal. I guess I'm always looking, that's hobby in itself.
