Where do I want to buy. How do I figure it out. From everything that I have written here on this board subject of my interpretation to be right or wrong leaves me with the following questions and/or statements of questions or is that questions of statements.
I understand that it's nice to move into a new home (we are considering a designer) but from reading many of the posts on TOTV I get the impression that these villages will be heavily populated by snowbirds who plan to retire in years down the line and rentals. The problem I see with this is that people our own age and retired (I am 68 my wife is 62) may very well be in short supply in the neighborhood for a number of years.
I have looked around at the various villages during our lifestyle stays and rarely have been unable to figure out who is living where. It's important to have neighbors preferably those who are a similar situation in age permanents and lifestyle. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to figure out what percentage of a particular village is liable to be populated by snowbirds and/or future retirees? Can be calculated by the age of the village do you think? Has anybody ever tried to figure this out before? Is it just unimportant?
Has anyone else had these concerns? How did you resolve them?
Anyinput would be appreciated.
