How long did the process take you from when you started to explore a possible move to this area?

What were the major issues you wrestled with in the decision process.

about 2 years from when we checked out the area combined with a disney trip, My wife knew she wanted the gulf coast so that made it somewhat easier, we originally though Venice but seemed too old for us. my buddy lives in Ft. Meyers so we visited them a lot and drove to different areas.. we like LWR for many reasons that others don't like it but to each their own....We went with Lee Wetherington builders which we really liked their different models in different areas, really like the open floor plan which you can't really find here in NY. And the fact that i retired helped, i am only 47 but jobs were not a big issue...

Luby- Congratulations and hope your new home will bring lots of happiness and enjoyment to you and your family! I am sure you will love LWR and Sarasota. We are also from NY - Hudson Valley area- also have a place very near LWR - we come up and down sporadically. Each time we visit, it's harder and harder to come back up to NY. Best of luck with the move!
