We gave it some time. Will be giving it a little more till the lease runs out. Could still buy a resale here but it would have to fit the bill, but leaning the other way at the moment. Love our current neighbors and they wish we weren't going to move (to another home here or there).

Have you looked at Timber Pines in Spring Hill? My parents were one of the first homeowners in 1984. The community is on 1200 acres, completely gated with a 6' wall. They have two 18 hole par 60 golf courses. You can own a cart and drive it on the street. It was built out about 1998 and you can buy a resale 2 BR 2 BR 2 car masonry rancher for less than $150,000. You can drive to Tampa in just 60 minutes.
I've been to Timber Pines many times and chose The Villages and just finished our first year anniversary here. Places like Timber Pines offer nothing inside the gate. You have a golf cart, but where can you drive it, to the club house, to the course, that's it. Everything else is on Hwy 19 in Spring Hill. Go check it out, and I bet you'll be back here rightaway. It's only an hours drive, go down I-75 exit Route 50 to Brooksville and continue to Hwy 19 turn south and you'll see it about 5 miles on the left across from Walmart.
