We've had several houses facing different directions, but our current Gardenia is the best. We like lots of light so are very aware of the shifting patterns. The only way we would go from now on (as is our current home) is West front and East lanai and South living room and guest bedroom windows. Gives the most light all day. Best of all is a cool well lit lanai for breakfasts and newspaper reading in the morning and a cool shaded lanai from 11AM on, which is especially especially great during the hot summers!
We like warm, not cool so a North facing lanai would never work for us during the winter months.
A suggestion; for a week or so, tour a few open houses facing different directions and tour different times of the day. You will soon get a feel for what is most comfortable for you.
