It took us 5 years to sell our house in a down market prior to coming to TV. We purchased a little villa in the interim so there was time to look around. We bought a new Designer and a few years later sold it. We discovered we could get a fabulous solidly built resale without the 20k bond, on a larger lot, with nice upgrades for tens of thousands less....and we are picky. It is also larger and has more privacy. This is a 2005-6 built area and all people are Not old. In our cul de sac, new, young people are constantly moving in. This is mainly a retirement community, changes happen often. Both times, unlike the initial villa, we chose to not be nearer to the centers but closer, not too close, to highways for easier travel and shopping. We loved the entertainment centers at first but found they were less important than the regional centers and pools throughout the area. We still go to LSL, Spanish Springs and Brownwood but not so often. Neighbors are what is important and so many good people super friendly live everywhere we have lived here. Traffic is not an issue as we are now well located and we are not bar flies at the centers as a previous poster listed as possible issues. You will love it here but take your time and be careful looking around to get what You like not what some sales person promotes. Keep in mind, many new homes need upgrades after you move in to suit your tastes as well as resales. We spent more on the new home than this one by far. Lots to keep in mind. The suggestions that you rent for more than a few weeks is a good one.
