There's just the two of us. One son & wife live abroad and the other super busy with television news. We sold the designer and downsized to a CYV, 3 br 2 baths, inside laundry. Also, we had become seasonal residents, 5 months here, 7 months elsewhere. We have plenty of space, about 1450 square feet. The lanai is enclosed, we put remote-controlled awning over the patio, the wall backs onto Tamarind Grove so our view over the wall is blue sky and trees instead of somebody else's roof. The privacy is great and the dog can meander. At 85 lbs, he probably won't be taken by a hawk. The landscaping is stone, so no worries about a lawn maintenance guy disappearing when we leave for the summer. The people in the neighborhood are very friendly. I couldn't be happier.
