The Florida climate is really hard on houses, roofs, plastic window frames, etc. With a new or almost new house you don't have to worry about replacement for years.
What really defines "north" and "south"; for instance, is the village of Fenney considered "south" ? What about the Brownwood area, what is that considered ? ? Are ALL villages between 466 and 466A "North" ? What about the older villages near Spanish Springs AND the villages across highway 441 that are always called "historic" villages, are they considered "north" also ?
