[quote=Anonymous]My ILs bought a condo in Bayside, Selbyville, Delaware when the community was just being developed around 2008.

They have never rented. They are about a 3.5  hour’s drive in Maryland.

Pros: no stairs, elevator access and a condo association that deals with trash, cleaning of common areas, outside facility maintenance. 
Mostly maintenance free for them. They have it stocked with food, linens, clothes so they can arrive with very little. Nice and convenient.

Cons: only my FIL can drive now and so they don’t go as often. Managing expectations: my ILs envisioned their condo being the gathering place for family reunion type vacations and gatherings with them. It’s too small for us all to join.

They also never bought into the swim clubs, fitness center, tennis, golf. Always claimed it was too expensive. Very little to do there without getting in the car and heading out for fun. Sometimes there are concerts and the neighborhood is walkable.

My advice is that if you do buy - think about how YOU want to enjoy it and how often you’ll go.
