We have a manufactured home on the historic side. 1100 sf is plenty for the 2 of us, but what helps is we have a large screened in porch where we sit in the early evening. before going in to watch TV. I would say that is the biggest benefit. Gives the feeling of more space and it is a place to get some outdoor air, without the bugs. We like it better than a climate controlled lanai (why have 2 living spaces). Outdoor patios that aren't screened are kind of useless considering all the bugs in Florida.
Also, I would look for a home that has a newer roof or roof-over, newer A/C and appliances. And a golf cart garage is nice, but not a neccessity, if you have a carport big enough for your car and golf cart.
