Well, the news I'd been expecting for just over a month came through Monday, via a note in my mailbox. My neighborhood has been sold [1] with the intent of redevelopment.

No word on when I'll need to move, other than the new company will honor existing leases. The outgoing property manager mentioned that it would probably be at least a year before anything significant happens, so I'm not anticipating it's "soon." Still, I should get on the stick with the whole investigation of buying a house or condo.
