I have a courtyard villa that costs about $800 per month in expenses and very little maintenance work. So, paying $2000 to $3000 in rent seems ridiculous. But, I would welcome the opportunity to purchase a luxury condo in a multi-story building with upscale private amenities, if available.

I like the idea of the Lofts but would not want to rent, I would rather own.

They are, from what I’ve heard, planning on building condos in the Fenney/Southern Oaks area one day.

I get the feeling the developer is starting to look at what Gen X and the Millenials will want one day.
Of course the Millenials (1980-1995) are still very
young (my Son is an older Millenial, just turned 34).

They don’t think the post Baby Boomers are all going to want houses.

My best guess is about $2000 to $3000 a month. They will have their own pool, gym, dog park. This is just a guess, but I no one has any idea. Once I put in my info I get the occasional email of fluff info. Less money than an apartment at one of the assisted living.

Just my opinion but I think a number of baby boomers would like to rent and or own a condo vs. being bothered with all the possible issues of a house.
