Figure out in advance if your prospective neighbors will be new friends--or a real pain in the neck. 😃

Does the Mims community provide medical services? If not, how close are you to the nearest medical facility? 💊

Complying with residency requirement in Brevard County can create great income-tax advantages for retirees and be sure to compare property taxes as well. ✅
