Advice on a low maintenance home
I'm looking to benefit from other peoples experiences re buying a home in TV in *advance* of actually moving there. (we'll be coming from up North).
I have someone who will stay there occassionally until I retire in 5 years time, but what are things I should avoid?
Some thing I can think of -
- Pools (avoid as there are already plenty of public pools)
- Big yards.
- Big lots (ordinarily it would be great to have a big lot, but is that a disadvantage in TV because it means more lawn to mow etc??)
- Avoiding palm trees (to much work and cost associated with keeping them trimmed)
- Stucco finish (I figure vinyl siding is easier to manage and doesn't require painting)
Would you agree on the above, and anything else to add?
Although a personal preference, what is a "good" home size for 2 people to maintain on their own without too much hired help?
Thanks in Advance.
