Congratulations on the new place. Hope you still like it this time next year. I think next time I.m in Florida I'll go down and visit. I'm retired AF so McDill would be a plus too.
@@grissomfire I have to friends that live there and before I actually bought I spent time visiting them. I actually live in St. Petersburg and sold my house about a year ago and as you know the prices have sky rocket. So, I bought myself a 2 bee, 2 bath and completely gutted it. Plus it was the only way I could get my 2 sons to move out on their own lol. I am going to give it a try. If I don't like it I will sell it. Honestly what's not to like. I am close enough to my sons and the beach, The pools are really nice, the gyms are well equipped. I told my sons they can come visit me every Sunday for Sunday Sauce. I hope I do like it. I actually had another woman ask me if I was old enough to live there. I am I am 57. I guess I should take that as a compliment. If I like it this time next year. I will let you know.
@@julielyons9180 come back and let us know how u like it…what are ur HOA in there ?and I get that all the time when we look in 55 communities and I’m 59…yes take it as a compliment girl😉
@@angelasmith257 my HOA fees are $560 and that includes everything even my cable and internet. Plus I have the Platinum warranty plan. There are 3 different warranties. Silver, Gold, Platinum that is yearly. That covers all the appliances, plumbing, electrical, sprinklers, a/c and a pest control, and a few more things. I am pretty sure the HOA fees cover the the roofing and the exterior painting. I haven’t really read everything because I have been so busy packing and picking out all new kitchen, tile and everything else that goes into a complete renovation. I actually bid on more then 15 places and everything sells with in a day or 2 the place I finally ended up with I had bid on 3 times before actually getting it. I kept getting over bid but the funny thing is these other people needed to get a mortgage and they couldn’t then the 2nd people that out bid me needed to sell there place first in another state and their buyer couldn’t get a mortgage I paid cash and finally got it. It really is a very nice development and I am sure I will be happy there.
Gateway to heaven, I knew a young lady her mom had a business that would come into the home when the resident passed and price out all the furniture and personal effects to sell. The relatives usually lived out of state and had no desire to travel down and deal with the process. She made pretty good % . And always had leftover items that she would then keep to do as she pleased
@@perryconnor697 I am 57 and I have several friends that are my age that also bought in Sun City Center. There are old people everywhere, and one day I will be old too but for now I am still in my 20's in my head
@@bigchillphil I am not sure what you are referring too, and if you are calling me a bot for whatever reason I suggest you take your nasty attitude some place else. I simply have been conversing with people that have either lived in Sun City or are considering living there. Once again, I don't know why you are calling me a bot?
@@mazie7952 I moved down here about 8 yrs. ago. I live in St. Petersburg about 5 min. from downtown and the pier it is absolutely beautiful!!! Don't know what part of Florida you were living in, but I can tell you all the people I have met in St. Pete have been great and so far the few people that I have met in Sun City Center have been really nice.
I just bought in here, and I am in Kingspoint. I will be moving in to my new place in 3 weeks.

@@julielyons9180 is that 560 a month?only thing w/ sun city is ur so far from the beaches …
Thanks for the information
Sun City is a name with a bit of history.
My sister lived in Kingsport until last year. HOA was $450 plus mortgage. No dogs allowed. Lots of activities. Well kept.
Sounds horrible asf. Can’t have a pet why would you want live somewhere like that? You don’t sound like a local at all.
KingsPointe??
Yes kings pointe
Drive out of Sun City to the town proper itself. Ghettoville.
So far the people I have met all have been very nice
About resale?

The gentleman said that everything but your electric bill is covered? What about property taxes?
Realtor just sent me a place from there today. Pretty weird. Lol. Didn't show the fees so I deleted it.
It's really nice.
they pay for your haz insurance? sure about that? You mean for the building?
Sun City Center isn’t 55+ anymore. All the housing developments off 19th Ave are all families.
I can live in a crawl space..does it hav vending machine Marijuana..
We call it the last resort.
Over 75

Sun City grew into a city! Traffic is horrible now, and people are generally rude. I remember 20 years ago when Sun City was nice.
Nonsense about the military incentivizing healthcare in the Tampa Bay area
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The people who live there however most of them are not nice. They are pretty darn hateful. As a native floridian, it's unfortunate really.
Farthest thing from the truth. You sound abrasive, so maybe thats why?
I lived in fl 16 yrs and hated it
No Southern hospitality there.
SC much better
