Lovely 55+ neighborhood. The catch is that you own the house but rent the lot.

Amazing community

When I was 60 with a credit rating of over 800 I was told what happens if I die and my wife had to live there. Hell yes because the place would be paid for. Even the realtor was shocked. I am now 70 and the place would have been paid off long ago. Imagine being told what if I die !!! Poor business to say the least, talk about age discrimination!!!!
