Same, the original post was paralysis by analysis, or for people who must plan and have a reason for a decision

The only difference for us was
1) We had never heard of the place prior to the lifestyle list
2) We bought on day 5
3) there were no bridges, no rec centers, no shopping nearby, and no houses next door, and we had heard of people who had moved he in retirement from years ago at work, but not even acquaintances.
4) but we got to design our own house to exactly what we want, and we love it!
5) and we love the location, not because of bridges, golf cart paths, or rec centers, but because of a 3 mile nature walk around the hog eye. . . everything else is luxury

Each couple must decide for themselves, based upon their financial abilities and their health. Lots has changed in the last 5 years, including your situation and within the villages. Please don't think that your way is the only way, there is only one of you and millions of us. .
