I would agree with renting a few months first. I didn't. I chose an area that's in the center and I love my neighborhood. but if I had to do it again, I might choose a place closer to stores, etc. That being said, for me, no activity anywhere is too far. I can go to Brownwood in the same amount of time as Spanish Springs. Sumter Landing is a really quick trip. I love my neighbors so I lucked out there. I bought a courtyard villa because I have a dog and discovered many single people choose these because they have pets, or they feel more secure with the enclosed areas. my friends in my neighborhood are a decade older than I so they may be less inclined to join new things but there are many single groups you can join to find others in your age group to do things with. I bought a resale for many reasons but among them was that the bond was paid, it came with washer and dryer, had an updated refrigerator and stove, blinds on all windows, ceiling fans, and a larger lot than the newer ones. when I was looking at new houses some had washers and dryers, blinds, and or ceiling fans but most did not. that's quite an expense to incur right off the bat. I think renting for 3 months would be the way to go.
