We are in our 2nd home in TV. Our 1st home was near Spanish Spring's we are now near BW. Neither have gas. But frankly I dont see the issue. Our monthly electric bill here is less than what my gas and electric were together up north.
Both areas have a mixture on younger seniors and older.
The VLS listings online always show the bond amount. We bought our 2nd and the bond was paid off. So there are those opportunities out there in a 10-12 year old home.
Bonus is insurance is cheaper on a younger house, major repairs are not needed yet, landscaping is generally in good shape. Older homes tend to need a lot of landscape maintenance.
Overall don’t box yourself in to an area without looking at the whole picture.
Also don’t cheap out. If you do you may end up not liking the home and spending the money down the road anyway when you decide to move. Average Villager moves 2-3 times.
Good luck.
