Default A few points to consider

- You may want to eliminate foreclosures and short sales
- Do you prefer block & stucco to wood frame?
- Not within smelling distance of any landfill or water treatment facilities
- Not in sinkhole-likely neighborhoods
- Quiet location - not so close to squares that entertainment can be heard
- Not next to a noisy family pool or pickleball court
- Not in a flood prone area. Not in a high risk FEMA flood zone.
- Not next to any major highways – no loud road noise
- Do you care how close your rear neighbors are?
- Any golf cart paths very near the lanai
- No bad indoor smells – musty, mildew, smelly pets, cigarette smoke
- Open floor plan, lots of light, if that is your preference
- No or very low bond, if that makes a difference to you
- Vaulted ceilings, if you like those
- Any preference for all-electric or all gas?
