Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path?

Still no (rebuilt) bridge but capable, full time shuttle, easy boat
access, plane....Captiva isn't unique by a long shot for FL though. But
few of the islands have their own airstrips which equates to a very
unique living circumstance (as evidenced by the number of resales to
average).

Oh, even better, you can't get there from here! No wonder resales are
hard. I giggle.

Duh, every "specialty" neighborhood poses a difficult time for resale. I
for one would NEVER buy a house in a golf community, but I'm building in
an aviation community. There are more golfers than pilots (sad, but
true) so the market isn't as limited, but pilots are more fun :-}!



It will be great when i's done!

Your first sentence contradicts your second sentence.... Is it unique
or not . ?????????

Unique for Kansas, not unique for Florida. Do you see why?

There's a radical change in potential island living.

P.S.. I was born and raised in Fla and you guys can have that god
forsaken state now. Se habla espanol ?????????

As I warm in 80 degree weather in the winter, and the flying days
restricted by weather are few and far between, I am happy to
teemendously my state and I thank you for the discarded gift.

Depends on whether the Mile High Club or the On Green Association is
your preference.

Too bad that you are just another self proclaimed wannabe pilot and
can't take advantage of those great flying days!

Now who would want to live in one of those golf communities? Everyone
knows that it is very dangerous to live on a golf-coarse. One of
those errant hooks can come into your backyard, hit you on the head
and kill you.

Excellent point. I HAVE been hit and injured by a golf ball I have never
been hit by an aircraft.

Or scarred for life and driven to depression by having to listen to
the inane babble endemic to golfers....

Oh the horror! The Humanity!
