We had a condo at South Down for a long time, and now own a house. I am glad to learn that SDS has changed management companies from McCormick. There are a lot of fees associated with SDS: The overall SDS annual fee and then each "village" has fees as well. And, if you have a boat, the boat club fees. The grounds are lovely, it can't be denied and it's close to just about everything. It truly depends on what you're looking for, ie: no lawn mowing, no shoveling in the winter, etc. While we lived there, we liked it. The beach is great, except for the huge waves caused by the boats gaining speed as they come out of the no wake zone of Weirs. I would just suggest reading the financial documents of the condo village very closely to see if they have a solid capital appreciation fund, management, etc.
