(YAFR) Yup as the title says I am one of the many many many people that is likely 50/50 going to relocate to Florida. Despite all the natives there that tell us to go somewhere else. 
Like so many others the mystique of Celebration comes up but the more I read & see...thus far virtually... the more it looks to be one of those tiny little bubbles sounded by big highways, a huge interchange (being WDW), and multi-story condos. Unless you are very rich and can afford one those homes to the south of it. I suppose if the bubble was further away from all of that it would be an attractive option. Big pros/cons but for quality of life it sounds like you either love it or hate it. And parking looks to be a total pain. I suppose if you live in that bubble Uber is somewhat common.
So, for that area also researching other options primarily town homes (as a single person). Lots of big developments especially to the west and north. Winter Garden, Reunion, Windermere etc. They seem to be all packed in like sardines as expected of such areas, and you need a car to do absolutely anything, but any opinions on what such big town home developments in general are like there? Quiet? Vacationers? Party goers? Commuters? Rentals? A lot of data online as always but such things tend to be all over the map, like Amazon reviews, so cant believe any of it.
Yes, the idea in mind is for me to rent a place for say three months while my condo here is on the market. Get to know the area for myself first hand.
