We bought a pre-owned Bougonvilla on an off-set lot. Still had lots of concerns about the neighbors in the back, but got lucky 'cause one has no outside living area and the others aren't around and supposedly haven't been for a while. I can tell you this - we literally live outside on our enclosed lania which does not have heat or air. Our back faces east so we put solar shades for the morning and have found with the ceiling fan going and the slider open it is quite comfortable out there.
Love the floor plan 'cause our world is in the middle of the home and wide open. Split floor plan with the pocket door is awesome with guests. We get up early and don't bother those that like to sleep late. Only changes I would make is the lanai bigger 'cause we spend so much time out here. Now why I want it bigger I have no idea because we are quite comfortable. We extended the grill area to a patio the same size
of the enclosed lania and worke perfectly for a grill and an outdoor table.
Just sit in the home for a while and you will get a feeling for what works for you. We didn't want anything too big to take care of either, but I will tell you if you can find this model with a golf cart garage it will be the answer to your prayers.
Good luck and welcome and I hope this experience exceeds your expectations as it did mine.
