HJM284, HI! We hail from Spring City and Allentown, PA., and have been here for just over 6 months, and love it. This will be our first summer, so July and August might be interesting, but we have great neighbors and have found lots of activities, and I don't golf........ I agree with comments above, and will add these.
We brought way TOO MUCH stuff south. My suggestion, leave, sell, or give away as much stuff as you can. you up north furniture may not work well down here.
Plan on spending more then expected for the first few months, there will be unexpected expenses. Car impact fees, insurance, lots of little things.
Live in your house for a while before you start landscaping, and IGNORE the water filter people, until you figure out what you want.
Just my thoughts.
