I'm in the process of moving in the next few weeks. My first house (a Lantana) was gorgeous. But it didn't have a large lanai or golf cart garage. After living here for four years and getting into a routine, I realized that my lanai was way too small (only 6'x27') and could only fit two chairs. My garage became cluttered, and couldn't fit both cars and a golf cart, so one car had to stay in the driveway. Also, my wife always wanted a "view", so when the opportunity to move arrived, I put my house on the market and took the plunge.
My advice, is to think about what you are going to do, and what your needs will be for your activities. Ask around about your neighbors (but don't ask the seller), and give consideration about your location relative to your doctor's office, food shopping, rec center and pool location and street traffic. It's always better to live at the end of the street away from all the traffic.
Good luck.
