Not sure when you got out, but much of the PPV housing is greatly improved.
On top of that - maintenance and utilities included.
Plus a safe environment if you have kids. Other neighborhood *amenities* that might include such things like a movie theater, parks, biking/running trails, pools, etc....
I don't like the yearly renting idea with the possibility of being booted out, but I see certain advantages.
