Quail Meadow in northwest Marion County (just west of I-75 and off 27) has NO golf course. And the lowest HOA fees around at $32. The older section is wood-framed houses, but the newer ones are CB.

I forgot about Quail Meadow. It also seems to have the lowest rate of turnover in terms of re-sales available. Must be a decent place.

The majority of new construction in the area now is wood framed with concrete hariboard siding. That's a lot better than the older wood framed homes that uses t1-11. It's easier to insulate and do more interesting designs with wood frame. Concrete offers more hurricane protection but both have to withstand florida building codes which is a 110mph west of 75 in Mario County. There are half million dollar homes being built wood framed. It's not substandard if built correctly.

Ever see what's in all that insulation between the framing? We had the opportunity when one of the neighbors ripped out all the old drywall and replaced with plywood paneling. You don't want to know, believe me, lol. I agree about the t1-11. Most of the houses I've seen use PVC type siding. Which has a tendency to crack and even turn to powder after long exposure to the sun and heat. Hardiboard sounds like a much better idea, as long as it is secured properly.
