Yeah, but wouldn’t you like to risk Talk of the Villages jail for a bit, just for this one!

Ahh yes, more unscientific polling!
Slow news day on ToTV...smh

What exactly would the Developer be selling, since every last property is owned by a person who is NOT the Developer? And, it is not a trailer park. It is a residential development consisting mostly of Manufactured homes which is very common in Florida. There is very much a pride of ownership vibe in the area, I can't tell if this is a troll post or simply an ignorant one.

I've heard rumors that some people make up rumors because they're upset about a lack in their own lives, and need to create problems that don't exist, so they don't feel quite as miserable about themselves.

Just something I've heard, so maybe you've heard some of those made-up rumors and think they might be true.

Meanwhile, there aren't dilapidated trailers in the Historic section. The Developer can't tear down our area, because the Developer doesn't own our area. The original trailer park was luxurious, even when it was a trailer park. It's even more luxurious now, and is a community of mixed homes, from manufactured homes, modular homes, wood frame homes, and block and stucco homes.

You should tell whoever you heard that rumor from that they're not only wrong, but they're lying, and probably need to eat more fiber.

They're definitely a thing, they're not new, they are absolutely a downside in some areas where the developer made the decision to place the back wall of houses incredibly close to the back wall of other houses, with lanais in incredibly close proximity to each other.

My exaggeration and imaginative verbiage doesn't change the fact that they exist, and they can be problematic for people who enjoy peace and quiet on their lanais, in areas where lanais are placed incredibly close to each other.

“Kissing lanais” are one reason you may want to know your neighbors before you buy. My aunt like them because she was good friends with her neighbors. As they grew old, one call would get the other out to help. (Yes, she could have used the phone.) She liked it when her neighbors were home, she liked to hear their voices, they were her friends. I understand that not everyone is like that.

It's great, til one of them relocates. To be with other family, to downsize, to upsize, to a nursing home, etc. etc. And then they get stuck with the droopy-boobed lady and her stogie-smoking husband.

But - people like courtyard villas so they don't have to deal with their neighbors. I originally wanted the same kind of privacy til I stayed in one and saw how claustrophobic it is. Very glad I'm where I am now. Space between neighbors, but close enough we can socialize without even leaving our own property.

You can choose your house but not your neighbors. That said, our experience in TV has been excellent as far as neighbors. OP, the so called historical area of TV will not only survive but will thrive just as it has in the past. It’s different from most manufacture home communities in Florida in that residents not only own their home but also own the lot the home sits on.

I'm the same as you in that I find both PV's and CYV's to be too claustrophobic for my taste. They'd be okay for seasonal living but, full time? Not for me.

I like lots of windows and a view of the neighborhood from inside my house as well as a bit of grassy yard space outside the house. If you don't want to break the bank on buy price that does leave for limited options in TV.

To a certain extent you can chose your neighbors, maybe not all of them, some will move away but not the whole street. I chose on the basis of who I would be among, just like a club, and boy, I can tell you. My neighbors literally saved my life, with their outreach and care. But I knew they were like that, I investigated, before I bought. It was a lot more important to me as compared to whether the bedroom had a closet, or was the lanai facing West.
