I was looking at new homes but they seem a little close to the turnpike and just started looking at older homes yesterday...so excited!
One thing you should really consider is the orientation of the house. We have a 3/2 designer which backs to a villa wall. The wall is fully landscaped, our lanai is glassed-in, and our oversized patio has a pergola. Our lanai faces north/northeast and is shaded and comfortable almost all day. We love our lanai/patio and spend most of the time there. If fact, we eat most of our meals in the lanai which has a mini split, a/c heater.

Good luck with your search.
