Middleton, with the school district, not a 55+ community, is priced for people who are not retirees, many who are moving laterally within a cost of housing location, and starter homes. .
I wonder if the developer missed the mark there. 1. Not many "starter homes" to speak of. 2. A lot of retired people including Villagers choosing to buy in Middleton as opposed to working individuals who serve the community.

I guess the answer wasn't so simple for me. I don't see the value in buying the same product that provides the same return/perks in an area that costs a significant amount more just to say I have that perceived level of exclusivity or amenities (which I pay extra for anyhow) or just to own that specific "label". I suppose that's just me looking at it from a pragmatic standpoint. Obviously, there is the demand to be inside those walls, so to speak.
