Easy to take care of and we are in a great neighberhood.

Well said! I cannot imagine putting oneself in a position to be "house poor" in TV. The whole attraction of being a part of the Villages to me, is being on the go and active. I would not want to be tied down to taking care of a huge home or lawn. The casual lifestyle I envision would not be enhanced by a gaudy showplace of a home. I live in a $400K + property with 2/3 acre on a lake currently, and it fits our lifestyle in MO., as I spend a LOT of time maintaining and enhancing the property, which is an activity I enjoy here --- not in the Villages.
