I saw a House Hunters show about two weeks ago that was from Apollo Beach. She was a doctor in her 30's and he was a supervisor at a Pizza Box manufactuer, they met on a dating site. They purchased a birdcage pool home on a canal, I think it was about $700K, he had a boat so that was the reason they moved. The home was nice but everything they looked at seemed dated, the 80's look with pastel colors, gold fixtures, 12" white floor tile. Anyway, they seemed happy.

I guess that's near Sun City below Tampa? From your perspecitive, you've probably seen that area and Sun City is not as great as some think. I always heard it was overpriced, I know somebody that bought a house there about 10 years ago and their amenity fee was about $350 a month.
