Be aware of how the sunlight will affect living in your new house.

Our house faces east. Our lanai faces west, so it is very nice in the morning but not in the afternoon. We have a patio in the front of our house, so we often sit out there in the afternoon because it is shady.

Our bedrooms are on the east side of our house, so no light comes from those rooms into our living space. Since the west side of our house has two windows, we get plenty of light coming in our house. People whose house is too dark either get used to it or have solar tubes installed.
