[quote=Essbee]Speaking of silly street names based on Bing Crosby songs…the whole “Crosby Estates” concept is confusing to me. What’s the demographic here? Who were they trying to appeal to with those street names? These were built maybe 10 years ago, correct? But the average Bing Crosby fan must be in their 80s+ by now. My parents are 60 and Bing Crosby is WAY before their time. Does it appeal to people to buy something in an area that sounds like it might be filled with very elderly people?[/quote]

I do understand your thoughts, but have friends who live there who range in age from around 40-60+, and all of them enjoy it for different reasons. Some, who wanted to buy in RSF near us, found it less expensive, yet exclusive, and still accessible to schools, shopping, etc.; others like the gated aspect and the amenities (golf course, club, etc.) and on and on.

As you mentioned, I’m sure very few residents know the story of how Bing Crosby is supposed to have had a home in the general area at one time (my grandfather used to play golf with him) and, even if they did, I would imagine the real reason most of them are buying there is simply because they prefer it over other choices. At least that was the case with the people we know.
