Since when is a 20 year old patio villa determined to be decrepit? Good grief, arguably, the best parts of TV's are the older sections and they are closer to many golf courses and COSTCO, lol. It doesn't take $200,000 to renovate a patio villa unless one is putting diamonds on the toilet flusher. At this age, smaller sq footage is better for maintenance, taxes, cleaning, cooling and heating. We have downsized as we've gone along the aging path. We no longer need 3,000 sq ft, don't want hordes of visiters staying overnight and love the simplicity of living smaller. I'd spend $20,000 on a patio villa in a heartbeat.
