I built, owned and maintained a 2000' grass strip on 70 acres.

 

I'm sure your were intimately familiar with your surface but occasionally burrowing animals design traps that cannot be seen from the cockpit that can quickly become expensive.

World Famous Caddyshack Gopher and the remains of a propeller from a PC-12 after the nose gear fell into a subterranean tunnel.  I know the weight bearing of a Mooney and PC-12 are different but the results would be the same.

I began researching air parks a year or so ago when I thought I could pull an early retirement. My biggest concern was living with all those egos

Pilots tend to be a successful opinionated group (just look at some of the threads here). It is one thing to hang out with them on the Internet, how is it to live with them?

 

The thought of it wipes the smile off my face and makes my teeth ache.

I live in downtown st Pete in a condo a block from KSPG where I keep my airplane. While it isn't a fly-in community, I find it very convenient and with the amenities of a downtown where I can walk everywhere. I also keep a boat close by in high-and-dry storage. There is also Peter O'Knight on Davis Island which is a bit quieter and has a *very* active and eccentric aviation community.

I live in Spruce Creek  since a long time and like it very much. I own a 1967 Mooney M20F and work for Spruce Creek Fly In Realty,  a real estate company. If you are interested, I can show you our community. Just give me a call: 386-385-8884.  Best  would be, if you visit Spruce Creek on a Friday at about one hour prior to sunset. That is the time a lot of people meet at the Big Tree near the runway and the gaggle flight group is showing their newest formations. Sometimes you see 20 to 30 airplanes in the air. This Saturday, December, 12,  is the date of  the yearly ToyParade.

 

Spruce Creek may be more expensive than some other  fly-in communities. But in Spruce Creek you get a lot for your money: 4000 ft paved and lighted Runway with GPS-approach,  just a few driving minutes from the beaches of the east coast, great community with more than 500 airplanes, activities for the whole  flying and non flying family, including  Country Club with 18 hole golf court, tennis courts ..... , maintenance services, avionic shop, good restaurant, several clubs and groups, EAA chapter and the safety of a gated community. 

For your  budget  you get a real  nice hangar home or a nature home without hangar and an additional hangar in the commercial hangar area of Spruce Creek.

Here are some links for information: Real Estate for sale in Spruce Creek you find here. Hangars for sale you find here. Homes withe hangar or airplane parking at the house you find here.  My personal website is spruce-creek.de It contains lots of photos but is in German language because I am also the European representative of the company.

 

Some information about my upgraded Mooney M20F, including a picture in a Spruce Creek commercial hangar  and more photos are here.
