Call it amenity fees or HOA fees it’s the same thing. You have rules and regulations everywhere. For all practical purposes, it’s an HOA. And selling your home and making money. That’s funny, too. Maybe at the present time because home prices have gone up. But the focus here is in selling new homes and not your older home. However, i am happy for the people who love it here. Good for you! You found your spot. Someday i hope to find mine, too.
Reality, we can chose to be happy or miserable anywhere. It is a choice. Re: Older home vs new home. Assuming you have an older home, it is worth far more than you paid for it. I'm no cockeyed optimist but some look at a lawn and see the weeds others see the flowers-it is a choice. It is the same lawn.
