1. If you are social and active and plan to be out and about a lot, extra lanai space may not be priority. If either of you still work from home, maximizing living space is important.
2. Unless you are both working, ditch the second car. As another poster said, the garage is where you store your stuff; don't forget sports equipment, bicycles, cardio drumming balls, pool noodles, etc. And if you are doing your own lawn maintenance, lawnmowers, edgers, trimmers, chemicals....that has to go somewhere. Plus vacuums, mops, brooms, all end up in the garage as closets are not big.
3. Many people move and adjust their wish list after they get here. Just get here!
