My granddaughter pays what to me is exorbitant rent on a dinky, Manhattan apartment that doesn't even have a washer or dryer in it.
Here in The Villages people seek other features than where owners come FROM. There is no difficulty selling homes here, new or used and if they are clean and priced fairly, most people make more by far than what they paid for them. And so the value goes up and so do the taxes.
That is how it is.

Sorry, but lots that back up to these main streets are NOT considered more desirable than other locations and in terms of resale do not sell more quickly.
Also, houses that back up to a busy street do not sell for more than those which are located elsewhere and do not even sell for the additional premium a first-time buyer originally paid, if that.
There is no prior comment that said homes do not sell fairly easily here. And "highly geographic." Huh?
Just as a point of information, most apartments in Manhattan do NOT have washers and dryers in the unit.
You have to go down the hall or down to a basement to do your wash.
THAT is typical of living in the City and has nothing to do with a home here that backs up to a street.
