We had a neighbor who sold their CYV last summer and moved to Lakeside Landing. I think the lady was a person who liked to move. In 8 years they went from a rancher, to a designer, to a CYV and then to Lakeside Landing.
We ran into them at Bob Evans, she said they really like it there, it's nice to see families with children out playing. Myself on the otherhand, prefer the more quiet life in a villa without children playing in the street.
I haven't seen their Lakeside home but she had everything in her CYV which they bought new in 2011. They had wood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, plantation shutters, beautiful landscaping, I could go on. They sold the CYV for $295K and the home they bought had a lot of upgrades but was not new, it was two years old and cost just over $200K and it is a duplex. From her description I would say the biggest difference was she now has a view, it overlooks a small pond with a water fountain and it has a 2 car garage.
Her husband liked to play golf several times a week at the excutives and had his own cart. Now, he doesn't have the cart or free golf, they do have a putting green at Lakeside Landing. I don't think he was really looking to move like she was.
