Most of the old neighborhoods are changing. New younger people are moving into these neighborhoods as some of the original residents are moving out for various reasons. Before I bought my new home in Bonita I almost closed on a pre-owned in Santiago. The neighborhood as we drove around seemed to have enough people in our age group. The couple that were selling that home were beginning to be unable to live alone, and their children were bringing them back to Sarasota.

We didn't close on the deal after we found out Santiago didn't have an adult only pool, and also the fact that my wife was going to be in a perpetual pout if I didn't buy for us, her first brand new home.

It all worked out great.
