Thanks for that.
My main concern is people saying it's hard to make connections in the north, as social groups are already formed, and we'd probably be some of the youngest people around (about 68).

In new construction areas, everyone's moving in at the same time, so it's easier to make new friends.
Also, it looks like they're taking a new direction on amenities, like Harry and the Natives, the lake house and kayaking at Lake Okahumpka, more outdoorsy stuff, more woods. It's going to be interesting!
