A bit like any city or town
Yes, it's the circle of life. I've seen it in our neighborhood. Houses are turning over. Original owners are "aging out" and new ones come in. I think some of the properties in SS are getting lone in the tooth and need restoration, which is happening. Definitely newer amenities down south. The developer says they are committed to keeping SS vibrant, and have made improvements, but they have also put in apartments in what used to be retail space. I never really thought retail stores would do well in the town squares. It's just not where people go to shop.
