Re: Plus/Minus of New vs. Resale
We also bought a resale in an older neighborhood. We knew we wanted a CYV, so we limited our search to those. The place we bought had many hidden extras like whole house surge protector, light tubes, attic stairs, epoxy garage floor and patio, and on and on. Also we liked the stucco courtyard enclosure rather than the plastic that they use on the newer ones we saw. As far as the neighborhood goes, that hasn't been an issue so far because we have only spent the month of March there -- and that month was very busy with company. The neighbors we have met have been very nice, and we have played golf with one couple. Another couple told me that the neighborhood is about 15 years old and many residents moved there when they turned 65 making them about 80 now. Half joking, half serious they said the old are dying out and the young are moving in. In any case, we love it and can't wait to spend more time there!
