Don’t knock down south of 44! It’s new and beautiful over here. I know of a few realtors in the villages buying over here cause of the new stuff.
Flood concerns came from a lot owner in Chitty Chatty. Much of the area South of 44 is filled in swamps.

"Surprise! The lot you bought and house you have planned are in a flood zone !
No one disclosed to us when we selected a pond lot in Chitty Chatty that this could be an issue. After our planning meetings, payment of 20 % we spoke with the bank about a mortgage and were told that we would have to carry flood insurance which DOUBLES our home insurance cost. We are very angry about this."
