If there aren't many activities in the north, maybe we should consider moving further south but it sounds like there's enough of everything. My husband was very excited about the archery range in the north.

There is a lot of positive feedback about the North, which makes me very happy.
There’s an archery range in Fenney too, which is a gorgeous village full of beautiful, huge live oaks south of 44 (wish we’d bought there).

If you want to be able to socialize with your Hawkin’s friends you’ll be doing a lot of driving between the two locations. At least an hour and a half by cart one way, or 45 minutes to an hour by car. Keep these things in mind when making your decision.

Also, you won’t have a garage with a manufactured home. Just a carport. That was a huge NO for us when we moved here in 2022. The bigger the garage the better.

The advice you’re receiving to rent first for awhile to get a better feel for all locations is very wise. Best of luck!
