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.

Well...just remember that rent comes with the lawn police, watering police, and living in a fishbowl environment. Maintenance will be done when C.E. can get around to it (and that's a military when we can get to it). The real kicker is they will not be paying for the move in or out of said yearly lease and the storage of all those things you have that won't fit in the "little" house they will rent you will be paid for out of your pocket too. Been there...done that (retired in '99)...got the Tshirt. No thanks. Besides...my neighborhood already has all of those other *amenities*.
