Default 38k bond

My wife and I have been renting in TV for several months each year for past few years. We are getting ready to retire, downsize, and by a smaller home. Most of the homes we look at are basic builder grade, have cheap cabinets and countertops, have too much deferred maintenance, and are too overpriced. We don't want to spend another $120,000 to bring it up to a level found in houses outside TV. When you add in the taxes and bond it is not an affordable lifestyle we want in retirement. Plus the all the Villa Villages remind us an overpriced mobile home park. Just our observations.
