The negatives is during the snowbird season, one may have to wait to eat, some traffic congestion and you may run into a grumpy pants. |
A friend of mine was kidding me about buying a home in a retirement community, picturing old people sitting around a table waiting for "their call" as another poster had pointed out. My friend came down to visit and we took him to Katie Belles to show him around. A band was playing and a woman, whom we found out was in her early 90's, got up to dance. My friend was highly impressed that it didn't matter how old you were, people were not here to wait, they were here to live until called. Since then he has rented a couple of times, with a third rental coming this winter. The golf opportunities have grabbed him and he may purchase (his wife is 10 years from retirement).
The poster I quoted did an excellent job with all of his points. My only other negative is that the quality of construction of the homes could be better. Don't get me wrong, they meet building codes, but until I purchased a home here, I had not seen so many plastic valves (the main water shutoff to the home, all of the sinks and commodes) which can be hard to turn (consider if you want to fix a leak). They are also mounted on thin PVC piping that feels like it may snap or come out of the wall when you try to turn the valves. The trade-off is the opportunity to LIVE during the my retirement and have as much or as little fun as I want to have.
