Subject: | Re: looking for a new home |
Bob,
I suggest that you consider Spruce Creek Flyin, a suburb of Daytona
Florida. I have a condo there and spend my winters there . The year around
weather there is cooler in the summer and warm enough in the winter. Spruce
Creek Flyin is on the west side of Daytona. It was a WW2 air base with
excellent runways and facilities, and very friendly people. I suggest that
you contact Anne Busse-Gandt, a scrupulously honest real estate person @ 888
398 6105.. I have nothing to gain financeally from this information. I own
a condo at Spruce Creek, and I spend my winters their. Good Luck.

You will need to check with Sheltair. Historicaly they have not been too fl
exable but they have built a lot of new T-hangars in the past couple of yea
rs on the north side and most are emty so they are willing to deal a bit.

Maybe some of the Floridians on the list could guide me in my search for a
new
ome. I am interested in relocating to the Florida coastline somewhere betw
een
ew Port Richey and Punta Gorda on the West coast or between Sebastian and
tuart on the East Coast. Preferably I would like to be in an airpark withi
n 10
iles of the coastline but on the water within 10 miles of a GA friendly air
port
ould do. My wife wants to be close to shopping and all the necessities.
nfortunately Stuart wanted $680 per month to rent a hangar and that is not
in
y budget. Vero does not seem very friendly in that they tell me I can no
t
eep anything in the hangar except the plane. Ft Pierce only had common han
gar
pace. Clearwater and St. Pete do not seem to be options either. Venice sai
d
ust the plane and some tools to maintain it.
'll be leaving New York after New Years with my camper to make another road
rip in search of the perfect place and would appreciate any input you all h
ave
bout your airpark or airports that you rent hangar space at. I know I can
not
ee it all in one or two trips but can you suggest what places I should not

Hidden Lake airpark (FA40) fits your criteria Bob:
It is about 3 miles from New Port Richey with all big city amenities quite
close by. Also, the gulf coast is only 4-5 miles west. Although I don't
own a home there, I know the place very well. I spent many nights and
weekends at a rented hangar finishing my RV-6A there over 5 years. They
have a 4000+ foot long runway, 50 feet wide, that's paved, lighted and has
VASI on both ends. The only downside is that the development was built in a
heavily wooded area and there is not much in the way of options (except
landing in the trees or the lake) should one botch a landing or have an
engine failure on takeoff.
All housing on the east side of Runway 5/23 was developed to include a
hangar and all the roadways on that side are built to accommodate taxiing
aircraft. There are quite a few houses on the west side of the airport as
well but only the ones adjacent to the runway have hangars, the remainder do
not have the accommodations needed for taxiing aircraft (roads too narrow,
mailboxes too high, other obstructions). A friend has a couple acres on the
west side adjacent to the runway for sale if you'd like to build a new home
and hangar, last I heard he was asking $270,000.00 for the land.
As of last week there were also at least two homes for sale on the west
side, not adjacent to the runway, the prices are fairly reasonable and
include acerage but, you would have to rent one of the hangars at the north
end of the field if you bought one of these homes. My hangar rent started
out at $225 per month and rose to $295.00/mo where it was when I moved out
one year ago. Since aviation activity has been adversely affected the last
couple years, hangar availability there has been better than during
2000-2007 and prices have been stable or even dropping a little, just FYI.
Housing on the east side (where you can have the airplane at your own hangar
at your house) does occasionally come up for sale but the prices are
predictably higher. Art Michaud used to sell real estate at Hidden Lake and
can be reached at 727-455-6173 (c) or 727-844-3447 (h). I'm not sure if he
still does real estate there or not because he recently bought a propeller
shop and has been spending lots of time there now. But....he would be able
to put you in touch with someone who could help. Also, the homes there do
get listed in the area MLS book so any local realtor might be able to tell
you what's available. The airpark is 3 miles east of US Hwy 19 on the north
side of Ridge Road in New Port Richey Fl (35654). Good luck

Subject: RV-List: looking for a new home
Maybe some of the Floridians on the list could guide me in my search for a
new
home. I am interested in relocating to the Florida coastline somewhere
between
New Port Richey and Punta Gorda on the West coast or between Sebastian and
Stuart
on the East Coast. Preferably I would like to be in an airpark within 10
miles of the coastline but on the water within 10 miles of a GA friendly
airport
would do. My wife wants to be close to shopping and all the necessities.
Unfortunately Stuart wanted $680 per month to rent a hangar and that is not
in my budget. Vero does not seem very friendly in that they tell me I can
not
keep anything in the hangar except the plane. Ft Pierce only had common
hangar
space. Clearwater and St. Pete do not seem to be options either. Venice
said just the plane and some tools to maintain it.
I'll be leaving New York after New Years with my camper to make another road
trip
in search of the perfect place and would appreciate any input you all have
about your airpark or airports that you rent hangar space at. I know I can
not
see it all in one or two trips but can you suggest what places I should not
miss.
