If not being overlooked is high on your list.....make sure the Orange Groves....or conservation area will still be there when you arrive.....a lot are being built on over the next few years.....a lake view is a good bet to always be there if you want no-one to overlook you from the back.....

Good point Chrizzy, I shockingly learnt recently, that there were some owners on various communities who had paid for conservation views when they selected their lots, and less than 2 years later the conservation had been "removed" and almost everything from unexpected town house building to unexpected roads will now pass by these peoples pool screens! And I assume no refund for them either (eekkk)
On the original question,about South facing, I would pick South as at least one of my criteria, mainly to have a start point of listing qualities that I personally like. We are South facing at home too. If for example, I planned to spend a week plus, sitting by the pool and doing nothing else, I would want private ( no one watching me sun bath ) and or a view ( such as a lake )would be nice. Then again, if I wanted to lay in the sun ALL day everyday, I would probably opt for a beach holiday[msncool][msnwink] But, if I was planning to max out the all that Florida had to offer, some elements of the pool issues would be less important I think. The good thing is, so much choice

Our conservation land is odd and slopes into a wee valley so to speak, not really enough to build anything on though! I know if they try to build on it you can tie them up in litigation for years, they might get it in the end, they might not but at least you can make it as difficult for them as possible.

Depends if they had planned to do something with the land before they sold the plots as conservation then it is fradulant in my opinion.
