We bought a resale 2-2 CYV because we fell in love with the expanded, lushly landscaped courtyard and in a perfect location. We looked at new models and many resales before we found "the one." This was in 2007 when prices were coming down (but not as low as they are now) -- and bond was paid. We have since remodeled kitchen, master bath, tiled throughout, etc. (husband rolls eyes) After moving in I discovered that I really like our neighbors who are a mixture of older and younger, snowbirds and permanent, from all over the US and many from England.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the size. As we spend more time there will I want more room? Guess time will tell. Right now it is a relief to have something that is a manageable size compared to our big house here in Syracuse.

BTW, great topic GG. Thanks.
