At this point we are closing on a CYV. I’m sure a bigger garage would have been a plus however and it’s a little off topic in sense but here’s what we wanted a were able to buy.’

1. No grass
2. Tile floors throughout ( we have 2 dogs and sometimes one has accidents)
3. In the North End in either Chatam or a neighborhood nearby ( we rented in Chatam this past winter) We were able to buy in Calumet Grove

I’m sure once we start using the CYV as our winter home we may find 3 things we wish we had. If we were to move the Villages full time I know we would prefer a home not a Villa. Yard work? I enjoy for a couple of hours per week. We had the choice of a very nice home on a corner lot with lots of grass, the reason we didn’t choose it we will be seasonal residents and we did not want the concern of having someone cut the lawn in our absence.

I think 2BNTV said it best:
1. What the wife wants
2. What the wife wants
3. What the wife wants. LOL

Just so happens that’s about what happened with our purchase.
