The Historic District has early-1900s homes with raised wood floors and aging plumbing. Silver Springs Shores and the large retirement communities have mostly 1970s–2000s slab and manufactured homes. Many retirement community homes are single-story slab houses or manufactured homes with older plumbing. Leaks under manufactured homes can soak subfloors and insulation before anyone notices, and slab homes can develop leaks under the floor that show up as damp baseboards or warm spots.
