Lynn, if this flexibility is important to you, you'll definitely want to ask the questions from my article of any developer that you are considering buying from. While there are no "sure things", I would recommend buying some place that you enjoy- there's a good chance that prospective purchasers feel the same way. This will remain true for many despite growth in the area. If your likes and dislikes seem to be out of the mainstream and you are thinking of the purchase as more of an investment, then you would definitely want to temper any decision with this in mind. In general, places on or near the water are going to remain good investments. More people seem to be looking to the Carolinas as an alternative to Florida. My feeling is that Tennessee and Alabama will get more popular in the coming years. There are sound investment options in numerous places. The worst option- as I pointed out in my column- is to stay on the sidelines and do nothing. Many communities do not have a time limit in which to build.

How flexible are most communities? Also, what if I don't like the area 20 years from now (too much growth for example). Which places are most likely to remain a good investment even if it doesn't quite suit me anymore?
