I live in a village adjacent to yours and all houses here have gas hot water, ranges and dryer hookups, no choice of electric. The electric connection is for the washer. So I would double check your dryer connection it might be gas only.

all i have to say is stay away from the villages we just closed on a new home and the closing was so bad we will have to sue

We like natural gas: faster and MUCH cheaper to operate. Gas appliances include range, water heater, clothes dryer, and home heating for those rare times it's needed. Without heating, our monthly gas bill varies $18-21. Our (pre-owned) home came with all gas appliances, but there are 220 outlets behind the dryer and the range for those who prefer electric. As a concession to gas, we did have A-1 Lighting Protection (we highly recommend them) install a lightning-abatement setup; it was relatively inexpensive and gives us peace of mind, knowing the gas lines run in the attic.

As far as Internet access is concerned, we heard so many horror stories mainly about Comcast but Spectrum as well. Also, we don't subscribe to any commercial television (cable or satellite), so our choices were more limited. We have DSL through CenturyLink, which meets our needs well and virtually never has an issue. I no longer work at home, so we don't need ultra-fast service. It's been my experience that when I ask to piece together a 'bundle,' they ALWAYS assume it's television plus whatever else. They cannot grasp anyone with no television (a topic for another day...), but our bundle is phone service and Internet access. Works fine for us.

Back when our homes were built, they included all appliances (range, refrigerator, washer, dryer—and gas were typically used—but the choice for electric was, as mentioned, available. Homes also came with ceiling fans and window blinds throughout the house. We haven't seen any of the newer homes, but we understand these amenities are no longer included. Is this correct? Thank you.

I'm closing on my new home in 3 weeks. Everything you list except the washer and dryer are included. I'm having trouble finding the washer and dryer that I want.

Welcome to TV Terri.

We had Verizon FIOS in Virginia as well and loved it. Wish they had it here.

If you want a top notch washer and dryer, Speed Queen is the only brand out there made to last forever. Yes, they are a little pricier than what you might buy at Home Depot or Lowe's, but you won't be replacing it in 5-7 years either, and you won't ever find this brand at a Home Depot or Lowe's either because they are too reliable. Big Box stores are only going to sell you something you'll be replacing in 5 - 7 years. And please stay away from Samsung's... worst washer and dryer products on the market. I am amazed at the number of people who think they're getting a bargain when they go to Home Depot or Lowe's to buy a washer or dryer. Call Ken and Kerries Appliances if you genuinely want a solid dependable washer and dryer. (352) 455-7247. Hope this helps.

All I can say is be sure to look for reviews for washers and dryers on you tube. It appears most no longer have an agitator in the center (top load machines) and just because it may look like an agitator (has that post thing in the middle), it may not agitate. They rely on the drum rotating back and forth to swish the clothes and water. When you see them operate on you tube they don't pull the clothes in and down toward the bottom - just twists back and forth. I can't see how they get anything clean.

From my research, Maytag has a commercial technology unit and speed queen has a "commercial" unit that has an agitator that works like the old style agitators. Seems no one has any in stock. Have to place an order for one.

Which brand/model are you looking for?

I just bought new place in st Catherine. Move in August 25. Looking forward to it.
 

Good luck with your move!!! Seeking similar advise. A lot to learn for us newcomers. Wish you the best!!

Call Marc at Sky Sat 20 for all your internet ,phone and cable needs. Marc has been in business for 40 Years. I have used him for many years and referred many friends. His number is 352 775 1152. Tell him Alan theAirline pilot referred you .

Double checked and everyone is correct. No electric for dryer

I my last house I had cheap Amana pair and in 9 years not one issue. Thinking of going with them again. Only issues is can’t wash King comforter in it

In reference to the agitators, pay attention to the model. for example Maytag has the same washer with an agitator (MVW7230HW) and without an agitator (MVW7232HW). The MVW7232HW is the impeller type. We bought the impeller type as our clothes do not get very dirty and the need for an aggressive agitator is not necessary. You also get a bit more room when you remove the agitator.

For those that might not know, Amana, Whirlpool, Maytag, JennAir, and Kitchen Aid are all made by the same company.

We're also moving up in mid September to Citrus Grove and have the exact same question. Dependable internet is the main thing we need. We will get a basic cable for local channels. Many great answers. Thanks!
We currently have gas and love it. We're bringing our washer/dryer with us as they're both about 1 year old.

Terri,
Nice Camaro!
Sadly I am selling my Whipple supercharged Mustang when we move as the volume of this car is not friendly for a closed in community.

Thanks I LOVE it sadly I cannot get the same plate in FLA that I have in GA (SUNKIST) trying to come up with something awesome. Mine is just a 6 sounds sporty but not loud :)

New to Citrus Grove
 

I also am closing next month in Citrus Grove. Coming from Chicago area. But I will be seasonal and renting out part time for a couple years through HPM.

I was also wondering about gas vs electric dryers. I guess based on what I have seen here, I will go electric. I have no complaints up here from Comcast so I will probably stick with Xfinity.

I will no doubt have a lot of questions, but I am going to read through the forums first.

For all those looking for washer dyrers, pay attention to the depths of your laundry room. We were originally building a Linden that had lots of room for any size dryer/washer. Well we bought a Woodside that popped up on the market to only find later that it is going to be one tight squeeze to get our dryer not to extend into the walkway. Fingers crossed.

You might not be able to go electric without having an outlet put in for the dryer. I am going gas as I don't have an outlet for electric and seems gas is more efficient

Congrats on your new home. We also bought a new home in Citrus Grove and will be closing in September. We called Comcast last week and were told they have no info for our address yet.

Weird I was able to order Xfinity for mine with installation on 9/8.

Save yourself.
Covid and STDs are crazy here.

new home but thay put a old refrigator in the home no book so be carful not to get taken not good pople

How much is Pike charging to add 240 outlet?

we just closed not a happy time. thay put a old refrigator in the home and it was a bad time we are looking to sell it and get out of her we are now below 44 on wilder path not a nice place

Im packing ready to move to citrus grove. Gas dryers cost less than running electricity. I’ve had both. Gas just seems better for a dryer.
Glad you asked the questions.
