For about 15 years we lived about 10 miles south of Vero Beach and were on the Beach. Sure you know where that is. Moved here 13 years ago to get away from the lousy hurricanes. Know Vero Beach very well and use to go to lunch there, etc. Having said this I would seriously recommend you make the move. You can control any exposure to the Virus by managing your activities. Regarding your move, the more important and critical thing is location, location, location. We rented a couple of months for 2 years before making the move and finally settled on what has turned out to be a terrific location. Compared to Vero Beach this is a mecca of activity. If you are bored it is your own fault. I won't try to cover what is still available but rest assured it will keep you busy if you want to be busy?? Regarding purchasing a home. You have the normal choice of New or Previously owned. We decided to go for previous owned and picked an area we liked and then started to follow the real estate as it became available. We lucked out as the previous owners bought and lived here 3 months before moving to a much larger home and therefore left a Designer Home. We made a prompt bid and all was excepted. I can't say enough how critical that it is to look for the right location and then decide where to move to. I don't see any reason to delay making the decision since you are going to go to a Village which will have more than you can utilize. Good Luck. !!!
