Don't confuse the quality of the construction with square footage. There is nothing substandard about the construction in The Villages. You can make a case that you will get more square footage elsewhere. If all you are looking for is the most square footage for your dollar then you should look elsewhere. Home prices reflect supply and demand. You can spend much more money for a small, 50 year old house in Silicon Valley because people want to live there.
