I wish you would start with the annual cost to live at each community. Since all of these communities require upkeep, maintenance cost, And just a monthly social security check minus medical bills will not be enough to live in any of these communities. Many retires do not have other incomes.
@@reniehandler2595 More than its worth once you get robbed, mugged, burglarized.. hell there was a drug deal gone bad shooting at lyngate two days ago.. ya, this place is a dream.
Yes, the prices... they are so wide in these communities. ( due to the various sizes and floor plans) And they change with the market. But in these neighborhoods you will find homes range anywhere from low $200's up into the mid $600's. I hope that helps. ~~~~ I'm happy to send you a complete list on any of the neighborhoods.
Ms ammons very nice enjoyed your video my wife and I will be retiring to Florida we have been to the villages and are planning a tour for on top of the world next year maybe we can get in touch with you to look at the areas you just spoke about would be nice.
Hello Darryl, I'm happy to assist. My contact information is in the description box below. Reach out when you want to chat and I'll do my best to review neighborhoods in the Treasure Coast area that may interest you.
Don't forget before you move into a deed restricted community to read 30 pages of paperwork as far as rules and regulations before you sign on the dotted line it's great to have the pool the pool tables and all the amenities but you pay for that every month that's called HOA. Fees..depending on what community possibly $400 to $600 a month... if you want to paint your house you have to get permission from the board if you want to plant a tree or bushes you have to get permission from the board if you want to change your driveway out permission from the board if you want to put up a privacy fence you can only put up one kind as far as getting a shed that's a big No-No... as far as the prices go as a realtor I can see why you're withholding that... at the end of the video and say nothing...she walks into a sample house with granite countertops stainless steel appliances... if you were to get a new house you would probably get white appliances cheap countertops bottom of the line carpeting... and cabinets but if you want to upgrade by the time you leave a $200,000 house now you're up to $300,000... don't be a hater tell the people the truth... also they're building condos all throughout Florida not too far from this video three bedroom 2 bath $40,000 and 2bedroom 2bath for $30,000.... if you purchase a house in The Villages they go up to a Million dollars... do your research before moving into Paradise do you really want to start working at 60 years old or 65 years old all over again....Plus if you live in the middle of the state no matter what direction you go 2 hours to the beach if you're a beach person like me you don't want to live in the middle of the state... for example I live in Melbourne Beach Florida I'm only a couple minutes away from the beach but 10 minutes away if you go west you can buy a brand new house 3500 square foot or smaller with pool and hot-tube all screen in with a three car garage for $400,000 that's if you love the beach to me what's the point of moving to Florida if you're not near the beach.... I'm close to Orlando Airport Disney World Daytona Beach Miami and I can walk to the beach.... living in the middle of the state is like living in Kansas think before you buy...You're so Welcome...😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
We moved to Vero Beach. We bought a condo for 140k (1500 sf) a one car garage and a screened in patio. HOA $330 monthly. There is a Tennis Club on the property with a gym and small pool, to join is an extra $165 monthly which is optional. Shopping is great, traffic isn’t bad, and the beach is 10 min. from my door. Life here is great!
@@jgreen3602 in my subdivision I would think your cat would have to be on a leash just like all dogs have to be. That being said, I have seen a cat or two roaming around alone, we do have homes a block away and I think that’s where they came from. I would suggest you check it out for yourself, rules could be different elsewhere.
Hello Bill! Thanks for watching the video. The prices vary widely in each community. But on average in Kings Isle and Cassades I would have to say your looking from $220- $325K.

Life's great because I remember everything that woman said., Yellow what're you eating? purple, is orange over there? greenboots and his pillow-law might object.
I was very surprised that the house price range was not mentioned, Also, what stores & restaurants are in the area? Are the stores & restaurants on the grounds or outside the grounds? What is transportation like? Do these communities have indoor pools? Where are the Drs. offices located in relation to the communities?
Ah... prices... yes....they change every month Autumn. ( video was recorded in 2019) Florida is up 25% over last year.

Hi Charlie, Cypress Lakes in in the middle of the state ( Lakeland, FL) I don't cover that area, however, I know that Cypress is a manufactured home community... I also understand they have a golf course. Many times these type of communities offer lower cost housing, but, you need to know what the monthly fees are and if you would "own" the land... in many cases you don't so make sure to ask. I hope that helps.. and thank you for watching.

You better have some money or you will retire in a section 8 some people only get a thousand a month but you can live in a subsidised apartment where your rent is based on your income
All the "imports" do! and believe me the "diversity" from LA, Chicago, Miami and every other large city around the country has really made it sporty around here. I'd say set aside some money for a CCW and good pistol first.
I looked at a number of properties in Florida and Arizona and I noticed plenty. This is what I noticed. There is no real diversity if residents.

Not coming home to loneliness but coming home.
I’ve been retired in Florida for 5 years. It’s great but only if you “snowbird.” I live in Long Island for the summer. Florida is intolerable in the summer. That said, if you are going to be permanent in Florida, you must be on the coast. Btw, Port St. Lucie is awful.
I will keep the last two communities on my radar :) !
Thank's for the info Lisa, I need 2 more years to be eligible.
Lisa, do you live in Port St. Lucie? And educate us if you can compare Port St. Lucie vs. Delray Beach? The pros & cons? Thank you
