But I knew they were like that, I investigated, before I bought.

I appreciate your testimonial
Agree that some due diligence is a no brainer. But you’re not gonna stake out a neighborhood (maybe you did) and some neighbors keep different hours, are rentals, or are split year residents. All that said, it only takes one to upset the chemistry. If it was a perfect science, there wouldn’t be shows like ‘Neighborhood Wars’!

What I did was go tor the pool where they hang out. Talk. Walk the street several times, talk to the walkers anybody outside. Get to know them a bit, their values, their interest, their activities etc. see if I fit in. Oh yes, there were no “neighborhood wars” that I knew about. 5 years after I bought, a couple from another Village were they were probably run out of, bought on the street. They were gently coaxed and integrated, took a year but everything is fine now.

My husband and I very much love the original area for its hills, large yards, mature landscaping and the beautiful pool and we love the style of the well maintained manufactured homes, as they are all different. My concern is that this area will eventually be phased out by TV.

Does anyone know if this has ever been a concern?

Lot of people live in original area. Spanish Springs is always busy. Don’t think it is going anywhere
