Welcome.
We have not seen any new pre-built homes in the Villages set up for both gas and electric dryers. Are you certain about that?
We have never had anything but gas dryers in all of our (8) homes. Our new place in St Catherine is gas for the dryer and range and hot water, and that is fine with us. Gas dryers do typically cost about $100 more than electric, but are usually less expensive to operate.
With respect to the post about safety of electric-only service, I guess that they never read of accidental electrocution of anyone or house fires from electrical short circuits or circuit overloading or from electrical appliances. Either gas or electric has some real but very small risk. Choosing between gas and electric is just not a big issue for us. Choose what you are most comfortable with. Personally, we would not go to the expense of installing a 240V outlet for an electric dryer, but others obviously feel differently.
As for cable, we have Comcast in the Villages and in our Condo in a Chicago suburb. It works for us. When we are away from one location for extended periods we can opt for a reduced service plan at that location that is very reasonable cost-wise. Do not know whether Spectrum offers that option or whether it is important to you. Occasionally Comcast has been a pain from a service standpoint, but it has not been frequent, and I doubt that any cable provider is completely trouble-free.
In the big picture, these are good issues to have. You are moving to a great place, you have good choices available to you. Enjoy!
