Is Your Nest Feeling Empty?
Help for Empty Nesters,
or how to get from there to here.
These
baby swans have flown the nest at Lake Windwood in Boca Raton, steps from our villa in East Boca.
We know
the feeling. Our son has moved off to Gainesville to study at University of
Florida, and our daughter is already well into her studies here at Florida
Atlantic University in Boca Raton, no doubt to be flying the nest soon.
It came
up on us quickly. All of a sudden, we were rambling around a big house in Boca Woods Country Club and asking ourselves if it was time
for a change. We also wanted to reduce our collective family commute time
between "West Boca" and "East Boca". During rush hour
especially, those few miles seem like a long drive. (We are spoiled here in
South Florida.)
We have
chosen to live in a villa in Windwood, right next to FAU. If you would like to see my blog on Windwood, click
here. We very much enjoy being minutes from the excellent beaches in
Boca Raton, Mizner Park, Town Center Mall, Royal Palm Plaza, and the seemingly
endless nearby opportunities for entertainment, dining, shopping and
recreation.
We are
also very close to I-95, Federal Highway, Glades Road, Military Trail and it
seems easier to get to most of our destinations.
Don't
get me wrong, we very much enjoyed our time "out West" while raising
our family, but I think our migration pattern is eastward from here on. It was
great living in West Boca, and we loved our last home on the
golf course - see photos
below. When our nest is yet smaller, maybe it will be time for an oceanfront condo on the beach or a condo with views of the Intracoastal Waterway. I like the idea of stepping out my door and having toes in the sand. Does that sound good to you?
If
you're considering a change, now may be a good time. You may be surprised at your home's value. There is ample demand from growing
families for homes in West Boca school zones in zipcodes 33498, 33496, and 33428, among others.
