Default Worth it!

Nine years ago we paid 80K extra for a designer home that backs onto a retention pond maintained by The Villages. Over the years we've enjoyed watching all the birds that swim and dive and catch fish from the pond, our retriever has the freedom to run after training dummies and bring them back, plus we appreciate the privacy of not having a neighbor in the back yard. Yes, for us, it's well worth the extra cost.
