If buying again I would consider Winified, Belvedere, Tall Trees, Bonneybrook, Ashland, Lynnhaven, Bridgeport, Virginia Trace, Sabal Chase, Sunset Pointe, parts of Liberty Park and Mallory, and that general circle.

Stay away from the power lines, train tracks, and backing to a busy street. All have a negative impact on value. And now we will hear all the exceptions to that, and I am sure there are some.
Chris you know I respect anything you say mightily but on the issue of a busy street I have to disagree. We live in a new village right off of 466 and three houses have resold...immediately. We couldn't be "centraler" and we love going right out onto 466 and heading right to the grocery store, many restaurants and doctors and shopping. We can get right to Buena Vista and Morse and go north or south.

The grocery is where I go most often and I love being close. Some folks I know have never turned on their oven and restaurants are hugely important.

I think that you cannot go wrong ANYWHERE. My favorite village second to the one we now live in is Hadley. We owned a home there and I loved it. We lived right against Odell rec center and could go right out the back door and walk to the swimming pool.

I love Sanibel too. It is all filled in now and the folks are getting things all finished looking and I have not met anyone from there who wasn't so enjoyable.

Of course I love Caroline and Sabel Chase, and I love where you live PTurner and Bonita and Hemingway is nice...and anything off of Canal.

Well my dears, it is so hard to go wrong.

Do NOT live next to a grouch. It ruins everything. But I don't know where he lives. Or she.
