Plan for an ELECTRIC golf cart because the internal combustion engine is the reason for all the HEAT in the US and worldwide. Heat makes the hurricanes stronger.

Ok, what brand EV vehicles do you drive?

Can't emphasize this enough. ^^^^

It's not just the house - there is so much to getting settled in a new location, esp. a new state. Some of what will be on your immediate list.
-- Getting your house and property situated does take time. (Make sure to source multiple contractors for any jobs involving thousands - you'll be stunned at the quote differences.)
-- Finding primary Doc, dentist, any specialists, eye Doc, etc. That's going to take time too. More than you think unless you aren't choosy.
-- Learning the TV particulars, local geography, roadways, retail and vendors.

Soon after all that, you'll need to redo all of your legal paperwork -- will or trust, healthcare and legal POAs, living will, etc. etc.

Just advising that all of that matters more. The golf cart will fit in when you feel settled with the front burner stuff. I've lived in TV a few weeks shy of one year and I still don't own a golf cart. Am in no rush -- still working thru all of that. ^^^

P.S. Have seen, heard and read of many people spending lots of money very quickly upon arriving. The initial excitement gets them but, some later wish they had slowed down b/c initial decisions were too hasty and didn't pan out.

I hated traveling in those dingy buggy's traveling 5-6 feet from traffic going 40-50mph.
Just something else to maintain, store, and insure.

I also got my 2015 SUV sitting in my garage and paid for, why would I need a golf cart??
I can go anywhere in air conditioning, complete silence, bring home more grocery items, all taking along 6 more people.

Your Welcome! :gc:

I agree. Except for the fact that SOME people as they age who know that their driving a car is dangerous to other cars and pedestrians - SHOULD drive a golf cart as a consideration to other people. Here in the Village there are a lot of people driving cars who do NOT have the eyesight or reflexes to SAFELY drive cars or trucks.
