Mostly inland, mostly newer
Our area follows US 41 and I-75 north and south, with Corkscrew Road, Three Oaks Parkway and Ben Hill Griffin Parkway in between. A lot of what we see is gated and golf community housing built around lakes, plus older streets in San Carlos Park and the rebuilt homes on the beach.
The equipment is mostly the same everywhere: split systems and heat pumps with the air handler in a garage, a closet or the attic. What changes is how the house sits, how much sun the condenser gets and how close the nearest lake or river is.
