My criteria would be:
Weather
Crime
Shopping (didn't want Walmart only. Wanted Target, Best Buy, etc etc)
Activities other than golf, cards, shuffleboard
Decent Library available.
Easy airport access.

Library is just o.k... but with new one being built nearby all should be fine.
Airport didn't work out too well... but I don't want leave anyway.

My main wants covered nicely. Bonus is good neighbors. When we left our condo in Miami after 19 years... didn't know names of ANY person in the building (with 420 units!!).
