Originally TV was designed as a very affordable community, back in the orange blossom manufactured home days. More of a "blue collar" community.
Over time, TV has attracted middle, to upper middle, to upper class folks.

Many who could once afford the "lifestyle" are getting priced out of the market.

The patio villas still offer a reasonable price point, that will allow many people to take advantage of all TV has to offer.
No question this is how The Villages got started. In fact there are manufactured homes just west of 441/27. That demonstrates that people still wanted inexpensive homes once TV began to expand.

And don't forget, there are plenty of manufactured homes for sale in the historic district that are priced in the low $100s. It is still a very affordable community.
