I'm sure they have already researched a need/desire for this. I have personally heard interest from several villagers for the option to have apartment style living and it's not because they can't afford to own beautiful homes. The reasons I have heard for this are basically easier, less stressful living - less upkeep, no maintenance responsibility, etc. Others may choose it for easier monthly budgeting of expenses and/or increased security.
It's also becoming more popular up north - 55+ apartment living with all the amenities. The communities near where I currently live are gorgeous. They are not your typical apartment building. Hopefully, and what I would expect, is that TV will follow suit.

Thank you for this very clear explanation and answers "Why would they do that?" for me. Three people in our Village have recently committed to move to Elan, the new assisted living apartments just finished on 466. This would be another alternative for many people who don't want to leave this place they have called home to find a smaller place.
