Location, enough room for a pool, and privacy in our back yard where the pool would go in. We did all three and are very happy with our choice. Would not do anything different given the budget we had to work within. If there is anything we would like to be better about our home it would be either a bigger garage or a separate golf cart garage. And don't underestimate the importance of the privacy in the back yard. I guess peoples home locations in their past life dictate this requirement. People who move from NYC might not be comfortable with privacy and prefer being next to a town square or on a busy road listening to sirens most of the day. Folks like us, who are from the country, value our privacy dearly, and one of the biggest problems finding the right home in the Villages is that almost all reasonably affordable homes are right on top of each other with back yards that literally kiss each other.
