We've pretty much decided that the Savannah Club in Port St. Lucie is the best fit for us. It's a big development -- over 1,800 homes -- which allows a great variety of activities. There are photography clubs, gardening clubs, exercise classes, a library, 3 club houses, play productions, etc. In a smaller development, there aren't the resources available to keep all those interest groups going.
One thing that Ed wants is to have a chance to make friends. When you RV, you meet people but you move on and they move on. He'd like to be able to come each winter and meet up with some of the same people.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, all those good deals we saw at the end of October are sold. In the meantime, we've pretty much decided that we're better off buying a place that includes the land rather than just renting it.
Ed's brother, George, is a realtor up there so he had places ready for us to look at last Tuesday. He had made appointments for a few and the other places were empty.
We found a place that we all like and it has great potential. It needs cleaning and painting but is open and spacious. He did the paperwork on Christmas Day for us to place a bid.
If we get it, this will be a marvelous Christmas present to each other! If it doesn't work out, we'll just keep looking. Time will tell.

Sounds like a great place! You're bound to meet interesting, active people there.
