I lived at Emerald Springs for five years prior to getting married. I must say the ease of living in an apartment community beats owning your own home any day. I have recently had to replace a roof and a hot water tank at my home. I am not all that handy so I had to hire it out. Not only did it take time for the work to be scheduled and completed it was also costly. Made me remember the good ole days of renting and being worry free of maintenance issues. I still drive by Emerald Springs and remember the time spent at the pool and in the fitness center. Maybe one day if I can convince my spouse, I will move back.
