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.
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.
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.
But, but you left out the most famous and largest active 55+ community in Florida , and the world THE VILLAGES!! T.V. has so much more to offer residents, than any other community...
Hi James..... I have friends there BUT, that's not on the Treasure Coast...... Villages is in the middle of the state. ( not my area) I'm a coastal girl! Sun, fun and saltwater~~~~~~ I only makes video on real estate in my area, but I'm sure the Villages are nice too.
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.

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.
Do not buy a home on Port St Lucie Tradition. The taxes are NY style and it's going to get alot worse because of all the development. I made a huge mistake. Tradition will be the next Fort Lauderdale
