DITTO HERE.
We've resumed doing our research prior to listing our home here.
Nothing is green yet anyway......so perhaps end of May, or by Memorial Day we will be ready to call in a realtor. Just had the landscapers do a total spring cleanup on the property. Finally NO SNOW.
Now all this about sinkholes.
I do not find any sinkholes on the east coast (Atlantic Ocean beachside) but still doing research on that area...........obviously, hurricanes.
There is always Viera by the Duda Family and also Suntree on the mainland. Both planned communities for all ages and some sections for the 55+ active crowd. We actually love children, even those not our own.....so it wouldn't be a problem.
However, the hurricanes haven't been that prevalent , except for the one that hit Barefoot Bay and Vero Beach several years ago..........but nothing like the damage Andrew did down in the Miami area twenty plus years ago...........mostly power out for a month or so. Our carpenter's mom lived in Barefoot Bay and had to fly north to stay with him.........couldn't survive in Florida without air conditioning/electricity. All of her food rotted. Mold formed all over while she was gone.
Wise to do the research or repent at leisure. Definitely lots to ponder.
The proximity to the ocean beaches is approximately 13 minutes to 17 minutes from Suntree or Viera going across the Pineda Causeway.......then down all the barrier island to whichever beachside community one wishes to visit.
I purchased a slew of these Destination Discovery "fun" maps of the area and the children, grandchildren, cousins and their little ones are excited..........lots of fishing as well for hubby........if not the mainland, also looking beachside where it is a buyer's market right now..........with plenty of activities for all ages, great restaurants, and just nice environment...........who can complain about seeing the sun rise over the ocean in the a.m. and then set over the Indian River Lagoon (intracoastal waterway) in the evening.........long walks on the beach for everyone, of all ages.
We are proud of our adult children and grandchildren. Plus all the little cousins and nieces and nephews who will visit us in our old age.
