I'm sure this is a generality but probably the ages of people that live in the historic section are older because it's been there longer. I have good friends who live there and she is very defensive when people "bad mouth" the historic section. When we moved here 5 years ago we were very interested in a manufactured home in the historic district that had a lot of storage, was wonderfully maintained, and had great landscaping. However we felt the price was a little high and we continued to look after taking 3 visits to this home. As an aside, on the 3rd visit we noticed that the home had no oven (which was not a deal breaker for us). We kept looking and purchased in Poinciana but if our experience is typical regarding the historic side I would not eliminate a purchase there.
