Default Opinion on new construction in Old Neighborhood (El Cortez)

I was told that the Villages is purchasing older properties built in the 1990s and planning to build current models on those sites. The Village of El Cortez was mentioned.

Generally, these neighborhoods are the older parts of the Villages, so this means that the new homes would be larger and newer than the homes around them. (Until more older units are purchased and replaced)

I'm looking for opinions on whether to consider this as an option building on the lots south of 466A and if this has been going on for awhile. Generally, I don't think it is wise to be the biggest or newest house in a neighborhood of smaller/older homes, but some of these neighborhoods have a mix of different sizes and models. I'm considering a 2000 square foot home with golf car garage.

Any opinions are welcomed, thanks!
