I'd replace it but since it is everywhere, I fear that would be money wasted. Has anyone else tried it in a similar neighborhood environment?

Our house was built in 2007. Someone either told me or I read it somewhere that the developer switched to Empire Zoysia because of its drought tolerance and fewer diseases than St. Augustine. I might have read it in the deed restrictions, where they also tell you that you can't plant anything invasive.
My brother lives on the historic side and he replaced his entire lawn with St. Augustine Floratam; he also added truckloads of good topsoil first. He has a beautiful lawn.
