There are young Villagers everywhere so don't pay any attention to age. If you buy a home in an unincorporated area, one not part of another city, you will only pay property tax to the County. Paying property tax to the County and a City can almost double your tax bill. A real estate agent should tell you if the hone you're looking at is within a cities limits, example, Wildwood, Fruitland Park, Leesburg, Lady Lake. That is something that cam add thousands to your tax bill and you are getting nothing in return. Also, since you have a dog, consider a home with a fenced in back yard. I moved here 21 years ago at age 46 and still live it here as I'm sure you will too. Welcome.
