What moves the price at Leisure World?
Size. The jump from a 900 sq ft home to a 2,000 sq ft home is the biggest driver. Age and updates. Homes were built from 1974 into the early 1990s; newer sections and remodeled homes sell at the top. The monthly fee. A higher plat fee often includes water, landscaping, and exterior care, so compare the true monthly cost, not just the price. Golf and water views. Course and lake lots bring more. Pricing. Well-priced homes sold fast; several that started high sat for months.
