To find out how the place works and they do a terrible job of that is a real estate newspaper called the Sun. The heat is unbearable and it costs a lot to maintain your house, cable WiFi,food, gas it’s very expensive here as are utilities.

In GA the day you get move in your homestead starts and they have seasons.

Minority opinion noted. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

BTW, the amenity fee is about $155, NOT 200-240, and for that you get 38 exec golf courses, very neat landscaping in the common areas, 80+ neighborhood pools, dozens of Rec centers, community watch patrolling every neighborhood 3x/day and 3 town squares with nightly entertainment (yes, I know the amenity fee does not pay for the entertainment), all reachable in a golf cart.

Food is a bit more expensive than other areas of the country, utilities are cheaper, and WiFi is no more expensive than elsewhere

I have not witnessed any nasty homophobic behavior, although I'm sure there are some bigots lurking about. And unlike a post on another thread, there are no "rabid packs of angry old white men" roaming the streets

Rent for 4-6 months and try it out for yourself, you ARE welcome here!
