1. I was wondering, what is the difference between buying a home with single pane window versus a double pane window? Is one type better than the other?
2. Does a double pane window protect a home better from hurricanes as opposed to single pane?
3. Are hurricane shutters needed in the villages?

Sorry if this question was ever asked before. This site that provides great information by all of the TOTV members.
IMHO, double pane windows serve the same purpose in FL as they do up north. Insulation from heat/cold. Helps reduce A/C-Heating costs. Also, on the golf view lots, may slow down the errant, misguided ball a little bit.
