For exactly the same reason, I would "worry" about it.... not actually "worry", but certainly give careful thought to the process (interesting comment on country club courses vrs. executive courses might be worth consideration). We built in the estates community of our country club in Illinois many years ago. Fortunately, we enjoyed our location on the golf course, ability to view tournaments from our screened deck, etc. But, one day we, and our neighbors in that section, got the "news" that the championship course we were on was to be "repurposed" (?) to "luxury" country estates condos with an HOA so high it even covered the substantial annual country club dues, as well as other amenities. Although we moved before the the monstrosity was built, leaving one championship course and two executive 9 hole layouts, the value of our property, and the "view" of this to be high rise "luxury" building (the term was to fool the idiots into thinking this would enhance their property values...LOL !) But, we "lost" approximately $100K in "value" when we were not longer on one of the championship courses of our club. This is YOUR retirement dream, the only one you get, choose carefully, as someone noted above, how would those who bought lots and built homes near the beautiful Hacienda Hill CC, course, pool, spa, and dining room ever guess they would be facing a multi-age, multi-income, high rise... money does indeed
TALK. Some here used to gaze on peaceful, soothing, buffalo herds grazing, now while some would not like that, many did, they now gaze at the block backs of buildings and plazas... choose carefully, you can't dodge ALL the bullets ever, but do your home work as best you can !
