Location, Location, Location. I know the old saying but it is a little different here. You could have the perfect spot and if you like to have friendly neighbors and don't then your spot is a dud. Everyone wants to be close to the square. I think this is the most overly rated consideration that new people have. Once your here a week it doesn't really matter. Bigger, fancier is bettererer. Not a chance. We have a Manufactured Home that is about 1500 Sq Ft and it is much too big.
1) Friendly Neighborhood without being overbearing. (You can find this out B/4 buying)
2) Being Close to the Neighborhood Pool and Shopping turned out to be important although we didn't know it beforehand.
3) Something smaller than what you are accustomed to because the kids are not going to be hawking a meal from you on a constant basis. As you age
smaller is better.
4) Take your time but don't suffer from Analysation Paralyzation. Jump in. Chances are you will be alright. Check the neighborhood for undesirables thru the
Police Dept.
5) I always wondered what the unknown would be? You know the Dealkiller! After two years No surprises yet. (A little surprised at having no power for a
week after
Irma). I believe lessons were learned by everyone and next time (God Forbid) will be better.
6) We hope you guys move into our neighborhood. It's older and not for everyone but it is where we are going to stay. There was some talk of moving but
that has
seemed to have subsided. If we want a house we will build new over here In the Hysterical Section or buy a house a few years old. Keep in touch. Your
house is here.
