I moved in 2 years ago to a beautiful home in Glenbrook (north of 466). It has a larger yard, is situated on Glenview golf course with a tremendous view and no golf balls in the yard, more upgrades than you can imagine, and a low bond of only $2,500. We were able to negotiate price with the seller, tool.
Only downside is minor. The neighborhood was a little more difficult to become very friendly than the brand new ones. No big deal and that is not the case now. And we are still only a 15 minute golf cart ride to Lake Sumter Landing or Spanish Springs. We also golf cart frequently to Seabreeze Rec Center, Canal Street, Rec Center, or Lake Miona Rec Center.
My property taxes, bond payment, and maintenance fee are much less than friends who bought new homes in St. Charles. Definitely, look at resales. There are a couple of great golf course homes for sale right now by Villages Properties on Talley Ridge Drive.
