When you had the big house and the big yard, embracing the less is more lifestyle is easy (and smart). The downsizers (and second time homebuyers) I work with tend to migrate to lusher, more finish rich condos not necessarily the ones with a laundry list of amentities. For instance, The Haase's purchased at The Hemingway for its traditional feel. The Danfords purchased at The Ravello for the space and extra garage spot. Some are purchasing at Northgate Village for the same reason, more space for the dollar.
