The Meadows The Meadows is a guard-gated community with a heated pool, tennis courts and playground. Minutes to everything.

The Meadows at Martin Downs is a family-friendly residential community very well situated in Palm City, Florida. There are 832 homes consisting of single-family homes, duplexes, 4-unit townhouses, and 4-unit patio homes. The Meadows community is divided into 6  distinct villages which are named: Greenwich, Lakemont, Mayflower, Brighton, Foxboro and Ridgewood.

The Meadows is a guard-gated community with round-the-clock security.  Residents of the meadows enjoy a large heated swimming pool, a tot pool, a children’s playground adjacent to the pool, basketball, 3 lighted tennis courts, a horseshoe pit and 2 bocce courts.  Near the entrance of the Meadows, between the gatehouse and the fountain, is a 2200-square-foot recreation center, known as The Meadows House, which also houses the administrative offices of The Meadows Homeowners Association.

The Meadows came into existence through the efforts of local developer Peter Cumming who submitted the plans for the community around 1988.  Shortly thereafter, Burg and DiVosta (soon to be just DiVosta) began developing the land in the area called Martin Downs for the soon-to-be-constructed villages of The Meadows.

 Divosta started construction on the site known as The Meadows in 1988 by building two structures from which to sell. One was a Single Family home (Hampton) in what is now known as Greenwich Village, and the other was a four-unit Town Home building (Stamford) in what is now known as Lakemont Village. Both types of homes were started in The Meadows at about the same time in 1988.  DiVosta completed the Meadows in 1993 and turned the administration and running of the community to The Meadows Homeowners Association which runs the community through elected officers as well as full-time support staff.

Q: Is buying a home the best investment?

Q: Is buying a home the best investment?

A:  Home buying is not always the best investmentis buying a home the best investment

Buying a home is often called the American dream. But for those who buy with a 3.5 percent down payment (or for those who can find it with no down payment at all), it can be a poor proposition.

A Harvard University study of home sales in Philadelphia, Boston, Denver, and Chicago found that sellers of low-priced homes lost money up to 40 percent of the time once transaction costs were included.

Economists at Wellesley College say whether home ownership is a good or bad investment often depends on the time of purchase. The odds of taking a loss are higher if the seller bought after home prices had already risen and if the buyer stayed in the home for only a few years.

Regular investing in stocks and bonds could be a better alternative. Returns on housing tend to be lower than returns on stocks. The risk of losing money is high when most of a family’s wealth is tied up in a single asset.

Some Factors to consider:

* When satisfactory rentals are not available, buying a family home could be the best option in any case.

* Owning a home can cost more than renting when house payments, taxes, insurance, and maintenance are considered.

* For those who don’t plan to stay in a home for seven years or more, the risk of losing money on a home sale is higher.

* Lower-income buyers may not benefit from the tax deduction for interest because their standard deduction is a better deal.

* Home-equity loans could mean little forced saving or equity building.

* Those who make a small down payment may pay higher mortgage interest rates and the cost of mortgage insurance.

Over time, buying a home can be a good wealth-building strategy. When housing prices rise, the owner benefits. But housing prices don’t rise very much in some areas, and many people don’t stay in a home long enough to build equity.
