I think the older sections will remain attractive to new buyers as long as the owners of the older sections continue to maintain the amenities and common areas up to the standards that have always existed to date.
Which means, instead of complaining about the rising cost of amenity fees, and maintenance assessments, understanding that those fees are what keep the place looking good, and attractive to potential buyers who will also be looking at the new areas, and as a consequence, maintain the value of our homes.
I also think that it's important that the amenities in the older areas keep in touch with the changing desires of new retirees.
