Default I like gas too

I too have had both all electric and gas homes. I highly prefer gas for cooking, but I cook a lot. I prefer gas for heating up north (feels warmer to me than a heat pump - heat pumps recirculate warm air - I think the gas blows out warmer); however, that said, if you don't cook all that much it probably doesn't matter. Most years (I'm hoping this one and last is an exception) I don't think you will have the heat on all that much to really make electric vs gas an issue for heating.

If you really want gas for cooking and want a newer home, the villages closest to LSL I believe have gas - I know Sabal Chase and Largo do, and I think Virginia Trace, Sunset Pointe, Mallory Hill and Caroline may also have gas - check the resale listings on TheVillages.com to make sure. Age of these Villages is probably 3-6 years. Not sure about Poinciana or any others. Bonds, although they may not be paid off, are also less to begin with than new construction.
