Default Re: "Historic side" not what I envisioned.

I loved the lush greenery, golf course and water views, and the individuality of the older sections, and I found the homes to feel spacious and were lovely inside, but I hated the profusion of lawn ornaments in front of some houses and Sweetie was worried about replacing a roof, air conditioner or water heater. I love that my house is new, but I really hate the close together feeling of the homes south of 466. I have thought about this and know that most people don't want to maintain large lawns when they retire, but it seems that spacing them further apart in the back, with maybe some kind of gravel or mulch would have been a little better.
