Which One Did She Choose?

DeDe heard back from the realtor for the Villagio that there was a three bedroom, two bath condo available. Although much like apartment living,this choice provded a maintenance free lifestyle. DeDe would have to do some downsizing and rent a storage unit while waiting for a garage to become available on the property.

Choice number two is the house on Crown Lane. DeDe would have her hands full caring for the house and yard this size but the rent was reasonable, the location perfect, and she could move right in with storage space to spare.

The lovely townhouse in Indigo Lakes was the newest and cleanest option but it was also the most expensive and the farthest from her daughter. Any adventure very far from home would involve high traffic roads.

DRUM ROLL, PLEASE!

DeDe chose the Villagio Condominium. Let the moving begin!

Two More Choices for Consideration

We contacted a realtor only to learn he had nothing available in our "neighborhood of choice." He did, however, offer us a Port Orange alternative. The three bedroom, two bath house on a corner lot had a formal living room, dining room, family room, porch and a two car garage. I could never get over the feeling that the house and yard were too big but the rent was reasonable, the neighorhood attractive and the location close my house, the post office, the bank, Walmart and PUBLIX. It seemed like the scale was tipping heavily on the "pro" side when weighed against the cons.

Wednesday morning at work Kathy Smith mentioned that a "For Rent" sign had gone up in her neighborhood. These are adorable 2 car garage town homes with lawn maintenance included. This particular address had bedrooms and 2 baths, a glassed in airconditioned porch, an eat in kichen
