[quote=spdrun]Why not just a normal condo or house? Is spending one’s old age surrounded by lizards(*) really good fun?

Have to interject here…we have kids and are extremely fortunate to have a few other families with kids on our street. While we love it, and some of the elderly folks seem to like it, there are other “elders” who absolutely HATE having kids playing outside, riding bikes, etc. We even had one neighbor who called the cops *multiple times just because our kids were riding past their house, and this was all in the afternoon — not late at night or in the early morning.
If some older people like things to be extremely quiet and dead all day and night, I thing it’s best for them to live in 55+ communities. That way, everyone can be happy. Just my 2 cents.
