Russ and 12ride are both absolutely right. A CYV can be extremely nice and some are very spacious. I like the ones with a golf course view in Villas Valdosta, Villas Berea, and Villas St. Simon. All are north of 466 and would have much smaller bonds than a newly built one.
I bought a re-sale designer home about 18 months ago and am a full timer here. My home only had a $2300 bond as compared to friends who bought new and have $20000 bonds. This makes a lot of difference on your annual property tax bill. My home also has improvements such as year round Florida room, sky lights, solar tubes, and citrus trees. By all means, get solar tubes and a solar powered attic fan.
What part of Virginia are you from? I moved here from Silver Spring, MD.
