Since I don't feel this place is for everyone, if they have no experience with TV my advice would be to rent for a year or too to see if this really is the place for them. If they know this place I would recommend they decide if they want new or pre-owned. I think everything is close to groceries and doctors so anyplace would cover that requirement. Friends who have moved here full time bought into a new neighborhood since all the people were new and made for a more cohesive and closer community....everyone is in the same boat. I have two friends that bought pre owned and while they are ok with the neighborhood they have found that the people that live there have established friends and cliques, and while they are included, they still feel seperated. Having said that, it's all dependent on the people in the neighborhood, just more of a gamble. Remember, this isn't about the house, it's about the social life, the people.
