We too live in Citrus County, and there are places here that are nice. Villages can be costly, and not sure about the yard work. A lot of the Sr. mobile home parks have most outside maintenance done and we have a lot of IL people here, including my DH. A lot of the parks have quilting groups-and while summer can be hot (it can up north too, and Ft. Worth is very hot is summer time) and some nights in winter cold, we have great AC and 85% of the time it is lovely here. Green, lakes and rivers and good Dr's, nice people and we are about -1 hour from Cargo at Tampa Airport down the toll road, we ship pups from there sometimes. We do not have much problems with Hurricanes here, do sometimes get lots of rain, sometimes it is dryer. You need to take a trip and see what it here. There are lots of mobile homes in Tampa Bay area and here, and some are good sized and have pools, hot tubs and other nice activities. You need to make a few trips and check out the areas.
