[quote=Anonymous]My parents were in their late 70's when they down sized to a 1600 sq. ft. townhouse in a well known retirement community in Silver Spring, MD. for people age 55 and older. They said it was the biggest mistake they ever made. After a couple years they said it sucks living there. One neighbor on one side would have their TV on so loud they could hear it through the walls. Roaches, ants, and mice were constantly coming from one of their neighbor's home. They had a exterminator coming over all the time. On the other side of them was a single woman who stayed up late listening to music with her male friends. They said she was constantly drunk and yelling. Doors slamming all the time. When my parents sat on their back sunroom they could smell smoke and hear loud voices. They felt they have no privacy and neighbors were just terrible. They didn't like the high rise condos because when you even if you get indoor parking its too far to walk with groceries from  the car to the condo. So in their 80's they buy an old one story home in Darnestown with acre of land on a dead end street. I found someone to cut their grass and maintain the outside. They said the only noise there is the birds chirping in the mornings. If they don't want to drive their car they take Uber. They are much happier now and are in their 90's[/quote]
