Friends bought in Middleton, because TV amenities weren’t anything they were interested in. (Clubs, executive golf, Recreation centers). They can acquire an Enhanced Membership, if they choose. The Maintenance fees were much higher than expected. But same house elsewhere would have been $80,000 more.

After 2 years very happy to be in a mixed neighborhood instead of “only old people” neighborhood. They love the neighborhood, the area, and yes the sound from the sports fields, and laughter from kids. Which is far less during busy school schedules, compared to summers.

Their thoughts some Old people really don’t tolerate young children, of their own family, they definitely won’t enjoy an active family neighborhood.
