We noticed preowned houses sit for awhile, for our experience were the same sell point or less than when first purchased. Bonus is their high season is not anything like ours as far as crowds.

Sales staff go out of their way to show you around, have a set schedule not to be changed, and have someone with you 85% of the time. That is a little creepy for us.

But as things evolve down the road it could be a nice community in time, and for some the area could be a non issue for them. The 3 day package is very affordable and before you take anyone’s thoughts on Solivita give them a try and see if it’s the right fit for you
