Wild Blue at Waterside Was Home for Them

Why Tim and Susan Hart Knew Wild Blue at Waterside Was Home

Tim and Susan Hart had spent years dreaming about their next chapter. After decades in Jersey City, the hustle and bustle of the city had started to wear on them. The constant noise, the crowded streets, and the long, dreary winters had become too much. They wanted something different. Not just a new house, but a place where they could slow down, connect with their surroundings, and actually enjoy life instead of just moving through it. They weren’t looking for just another neighborhood. They were looking for a home.

Their search had taken them all over Florida. They had explored various communities along the Gulf Coast and even considered areas farther south. Some places had beautiful homes, but they lacked the charm. Others had the right amenities but felt impersonal, like resort destinations instead of real neighborhoods. The balance was hard to find—they wanted a place that was peaceful but not isolated, lively but not overwhelming, and luxurious but still welcoming.

The stress of the search was starting to take its toll. They had nearly given up, thinking maybe they were being too picky, until a friend casually mentioned Wild Blue at Waterside in Lakewood Ranch

At first, they weren’t sure if they were up for another round of house hunting. But the more they researched, the more intrigued they became. The photos alone were breathtaking—homes with expansive lanais overlooking lakes, streets lined with palm trees, and a community that seemed to offer everything they had been looking for. It felt too good to be true, but they had to see it for themselves.

The Moment It Clicked

That night, back at their hotel, they couldn’t stop talking about it. Was this the place? Were they really ready to take the leap? The conversation went in circles—excitement, hesitation, hope, and a little bit of fear. They had spent years in Jersey City, built their routines, made lifelong friendships, and now they were considering leaving it all behind.

Susan sat cross-legged on the hotel bed, scrolling through photos she had taken that day. Every angle of Wild Blue looked like something out of a dream. “It’s everything we wanted,” she murmured, half to herself, half to Tim. He was pacing by the window, hands in his pockets, looking out over the city skyline—a view they had once loved but now felt like it belonged to a past chapter of their lives.

Tim was practical to the core. “What if we wait? What if the market shifts? What if we sell first and then look?” His mind was full of contingencies and safety nets. He wasn’t opposed to the move—he just wanted to do it the right way. But then he thought about something Adam and Jessica Miller from The 941 Lifestyle Group had told them: “The best lots are going fast. If this feels right, don’t wait too long.” And the truth was, it did feel right.

They talked long into the night, running through the pros and cons, envisioning their life in Wild Blue. Would they miss the city? Probably. But would they regret passing up on this opportunity? Almost certainly. They had seen too many people hesitate and let their dreams slip away. They weren’t going to be one of them.

The next morning, they made the call. They put down their deposit and officially started their next chapter. It was exhilarating and nerve-wracking all at once. But as soon as the paperwork was signed, a weight lifted. This was the fresh start they had been looking for.

A New Beginning

A few months later, Tim and Susan were settling into their new home. The transition had been smoother than expected, though there were still moments where they’d instinctively reach for their old routines—checking the subway schedule, and waiting for city traffic to die down before heading out. But those habits were quickly being replaced with new ones. Morning walks by the lake. Afternoon pickleball matches. Watching the sunset from their lanai, wine in hand.

They had met their neighbors within the first week—something that would have never happened back in Jersey City. There was an unspoken camaraderie in Wild Blue, a shared understanding that they had all chosen this place for a reason. They joined a pickleball group, even though neither of them had ever played before. It didn’t matter. They were welcomed in, given pointers, and by the end of their first game, they had already made friends.

Sundays became their favorite day of the week. They started a tradition of paddleboarding together, gliding through the calm waters, and soaking in the beauty of their new surroundings. There was no rush, no deadlines, no stress—just the rhythm of the water and the occasional laughter as one of them lost their balance. It was the kind of life they had always wanted but never quite knew how to achieve.

And now, whenever someone asks them about their move, they just smile and say, “We should have done this sooner.” Because in the end, it wasn’t just about finding a home—it was about finding peace.
