is celebration affordable (condos, townhouse, neighborhood)

[autumnlee]

I hear how great the schools are in celebration but do they have any affordable housing for the average person. I mean 300.000 or under

LOL.... no way!! The CONDOS in Celebration sell for at least $420,000.

Houses the same size as my old house in orlando sell for way over
$1 million Dollars.

Celebration truly is awesome. Oh, the schools are NOT as good as they used to be, as Osceola county filed a lawsuit against the Celebration schools 'to let some of Osceola's worst kids go to a good school' and the school now has drugs, kids threatening teachers, etc. Before that happened, the school was totally awesome (my 2 cousins went there for middle and high school).

Celebration might look like 'The Truman Show' but it is freakin's expensive! You get what you pay for!

celebration is affordable only if you have more money than brains,
under $300K gets you a small townhouse/condo,

and their schools aren't that great, though they're ok

I don't have kids in school anymore (thank heaven) but I've looked at celebration and it's pricey,

maybe someone can give you better school advice

You'd be LUCKY if you can even get a 1/1 condo in Celebration for $300k! LUCKY!

The schools were a model for the nation, now they are not bad, but they have gone way downhill from the utopia-quality schools Celebration HAD.

Man, you can put your kids in private school and live in a decent area (cheaper then Celebration) and still have the best of both worlds.

I say living in Celebration is way overrated.

LOl i say NO WAY A 1/1 Condo for $300k...
and pretty much everyone is saying the same thing. the schools are well over rated..Lots of Trouble int the schools there they figure mommy and daddy are rich so they can get me out of the trouble

Looking at this place it's disgusting. I want a place like I grew up in, with a modern 50's style schools, rural and small homes, no condos, no HOA's and lots of fruit trees in the neighborhood. Everything from tractors, to cars on blocks to fancy homes. All real people no fake sense of community. Celebration needs some category 5 remodeling.

You live no where near there Tallrick - what do you care? Some people like this kind of place. There are pleanty of places like you describe through out Florida.

It ain't the 1950's anymore. It never will be. Florida will never look the way it did in the 30's, 40,s or 50's. I'm sure there was once some crusty old folks that wished there was never air conditioning and that we were all still riding horses, swatting horse flys and smelling horse **** everywhere we go. Funny what people long for, isn't it.

If anyone ever wonders why HOA’S (Home Owners Associations) are needed, above is your answer.

And what places are those? If they exist they will be changed by more development. What do people have against real people? Do they want to live in some "stepford wives" neighborhood instead? Mindless robots under the full control of the HOA. It sems like these planned developments will eventually destroy the fun character of Florida, till nature finally reclaims the state.

I think it is possible to achieve a balance between Stepford Wives sterility and cars on cement blocks.
Tallrick, if you want tractors, pitbulls on chains, rusted out cars and the like, there is plenty of that up here in the north. Oh, and fruit trees, too.
