I do not want to turn this into a north vrs south argument. The homes in the northern area were built in the early 2000's. That is not ancient! Most have larger rooms, lanais, and lawns than the homes in the southern area. However, the homes in the south have larger garages (more room for your toys) and less lawn to maintain. IMO, choosing a home based on its newer appearance is not the way to go. The inside and the amount of space you require are what matter most. Explore before purchasing. I think you will quickly realize there are many gems in the established areas with stunning views and amazing outdoor spaces. All completed and move in ready. Or, purchase a new home and design a home suited to your needs. Either way, I would make the final cost the deteriming factor.
