Opinion: buy between the “sixes” as you called it. Air conditioners, water heaters and roofs all age. You can expect to replace them every 15 years. The roof obviously depends on your insurance carrier. They seem to like the 15 year point. I live in Pennecamp so we are at that 15 year mark and insurance carriers are already questioning the roof in consideration for renewals. Considering when those three items were replaced might be good to include in your decision when you price compare homes for sale. Hands down, the more recent the build you can probably expect to see better construction so, again betwixt 466 and 466a good choice
