I do have to laugh, people opposed the villages going in here because we have enough, homes, traffic and people. According to the online paper, " Last spring, The Villages proposed building more than 700 homes and support facilities on the Trailwinds property." Now we are looking at " This development on 153.6 acres by WholeLife Properties of Dallas would include 1,298 residential dwelling units, including apartments and townhouses" and " A revised plan for the separate Trailwinds development to the east on 131.5 acres calls for 296 homes". HMMMMMM, apartments and townhouses!!!!! Anyone want to guess what this will bring? At least with the villages, we knew we were getting 55 and over residents, but now?????

I read that article this morning, and was under the impression that the developer of that property was building rental properties for 55 and over age group. That's actually a good thing. Many 55+ folks do not want the headaches of home ownership any longer. What do YOU think it will bring? Actually, 20% of Village residents have to be under 55 for the developer to get certain breaks. You seem a little nervous about Trailwinds. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
