I think any downturn in new home sales could result in one big ghost town. I just don't see any reason for me to ever want to live in That kind of a development.But that's just my opinion quite sure other people see it differently. I'm kinda glad did not advertise it as a golfing community. In the adds that said "golf for life for free". Starting to look like the suburbs of Orlando.
With all due respect, when the downturn came in 2006-2008 The Villages kept building and selling more homes than any other Developer in the country. We are only a hour and forty five minutes from some great beaches and when the hurricanes sweep into Florida (and sooner or later they do come), I can’t think of any better place to be than right here in the center of the State. You are correct The Villages is not for everyone just as Florida doesn’t suit everyone either.
