When I was looking at TV, I looked at the options of new and pre-owned and different locations in the villages. Granted, maybe the newest manufactured home is over 20 years old but then, I don't buy a lot of really green bananas anymore either. (Not enough time left to wait for them to ripen.) Price was also a consideration. As far as restrictions are concerned, I've been in places they were worse. (without the cameraderie and ambience of TV) My lot size is just about right for me to 'putter around' in and enhance (or not) without consuming all my spare time and cash. If there is something didn't like that the previous owner did, I can change it, at my leisure. Personally, I think the few retrictions are reasonable and appropriate (disappointed I won't be able to put out those 200 pink flamingos I thought were standard in FL) . The only people that might be considered 'undesireable' are like those who buy property cheap at the end of the runway and then complain about the low-flying planes and want them to fly somewhere else. BUC I think you will be welcome anywhere in TV. Exceptional group of people. Another plus to pre-owned, close on the property and move in. No waiting for contractors to finish up. Also on Historical side, a lot of turn-key properties.
