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!
Tbone, to get an idea of how familiar you are with these two areas, have you visited The Villages yet?
