Also it will put a significant stress on the commercial real estate in the southern end of the current Villages.

Wait until it takes a lottery and you get only one tee time each week, then you will see home values plummet.

I do agree that so far the planning of the developer has been pretty good, but as they buy up more small parcels around current developed land and add more houses, it is making the current amenities spread very thin. As an example, they have added several thousand new homes up around the route 42 area and no increase in available amenities. So far the most southern areas seem like it will cause the same stress on current infrastructure.
Incorrect, There will be 133 rooftops in the*Soulliere Villas. Coupled with the Phillips Villas, there will be nearly*300 new courtyard villas in CDD 4. They put a new pool in Phillips area and will do the same in Soulliere area. Villages also bought the old church next to Chatham where they will put new rec center, resort style pool, and putting course.
