Kind of like...?

Btw, I don't know a soul in Tampa who has a "mountain home", but plenty with beach houses. Does my anecdotal evidence cancel out yours?"</I>

Evidently not as easy as you claim. ;)

The mountain comment had nothing to do with you, yet you read into it a personal challenge. :-)

Classic NewbE.

sf, I'm sure eks can elaborate on this, but one thing to be careful of in age-restricted communities is limitations on child visitors. There have been news reports about retirees who have had to take in grandchildren for a month or two and were fined by their community. If you have grandkids, this may be of concern.

I agree with you about the Stepford thing, but I guess some people really, really value peace and quiet above all else...
