I thought it would be nice to hear why you chose Central Florida. If your reason is because it is where TV is located, please note it. IOW, if TV were in Fort Myers you would be there. It may seem like a meaningless distinction... but you may have chosen a the community for other reasons... regardless of geographic location.
We rented a condo in Ft Myers just prior to retirement to see how we might like it. Bottom line----it was too congested for us. We drove over to Central Florida to see what was available. As they say, the rest is history. Oh, one other thing, we spent some time looking over Arizona too---didn't care for all the "brown tones."
