Our in-laws are wanting to get back in the panhandle real estate roller coaster ride and are looking at both The Preserve and at Forest Lakes. They got in almost 13 years ago and three houses later, they got out in the right time in 2006 literally weeks before the downward turn started to be evident.

Any opinions, pros, cons about either development? Beach access, location, rental potential, longevity of neighborhood, builders/developers in the neighborhoods, topography problems, etc...

I have my own opinions and they're about to pull the trigger in one of these neighborhoods, but was wanting to get some outside opinions as well...

Thanks in advance.

FLHOA has placed liens on 8 properties and Preserve HOA has placed liens on 17 properties over the last year and a half. Almost assuredly for unpaid dues. And, I am sure that I have seen numerous foreclosures in these developments too. Buyer beware.

What about the 40 plus lots still owned by the developer???

So Forest Lakes still has unsold lots? What about The Preserve? Did all those lots get sold in the first go-around?

I was aware that FL did not have beach access unless you go to Gulfview Heights.
 
To clarify, all Forest Lakes lots which were released to the public, sold very quickly, in a very short period. Even more quickly, they were flipped for double the money in many cases.

That's great for the sellers/flippers, not so great for the buyers/second owners.

Not sure what you were clarifying, but there are still 40 or so unsold original developer lots aren't there???
