We plan on being snowbirds, and living in the Villages Dec-April.
I was considering an east facing house, since the sun would set in the back
lanai when it would be warmest in the winter months. Does that sound logical?
Again, thank you all so very much. I knew I came to the right place to have my questions answered !

Bond is paid with your taxes. It’s a yearly amount. You can pay off full balance at any time. We have never paid off a bond, because our investments far exceed the interest and balance each year. Each house the new buyer assumes the balance.
First house lanai faced west, not a fan, 2nd house east, winter was chilly, 3 house lanai faced south. Could only use very early and late at night, hot as a match.
This house lanai and pool faces north/east. Summers lanai is perfect. January we have a fire table, which makes our time enjoyable.
If you are building, You can choose Gas stove and gas dryer, or electric. No choice you get tankless heater, south of 44.
After living between the 6’s from 2007-2022, you will notice one big issue. Lack of police presence for speeding on all streets.
South of 44 you get Wildwood PD. Speeding tickets are issued, and you will see their cars not only during the day but several all night long. I would travel between our two houses moving light stuff between 2a-4a. officer at Meggison and 44. I would wave, as I travelled by, and every night he drove past the house while I was unloading. I always thank WPD for patrolling the neighborhoods, when I see them at outings, for patrolling and actually writing tickets.
So for us extra taxes, actual police presence worth every dime.
