Water Oak Estates is a manufactured homes (mobile homes) development for seniors. From what I've read, the golf course has terrible management as far as speed of play. Many complain of quitting in the middle of a round and it's not uncommon to see a group of 5 or 6 together. Also the course is open to the public for anyone to play. The new homes are being developed by a company called Sun Homes. I looked into a development in Myrtle Beach that they were developing and residents were protesting lot rents of $350 a month while new owners were paying half that.
Since that development appeals to you, but you want to live in TV, then the area known as the 'historic side' of TV has mobile homes, although many are being replaced by the developer for single family homes. You would need to search in the Villages of Silver Lake and Country Club Hills, that area on The Villages homes site would be under Orange Blossom.
Sheds are not allowed, however Verandas are single family homes that have a privacy fence are being built a few miles south of SR 44 in the latest village called Fenney. In the existing villages between CR 42 and SR 44, which consists of about 70 villages, the only privacy fencing you would see are on courtyard villas. Directv is allowed, you would just have the dish placed on the roof of your house, that's where mine is.
The other poster asks about two agents. If you're looking to buy a resale, then yes you need two agents. Sellers can choose to list their home with an outside realtor and the home would be listed on the nationwide service company known as MLS. On the otherhand, sellers may list with The Villages Agents and then they would be just listed in house on their computer system and website. If you're only interested in a new home, then you'll only need to work with a Villages Agent because outside agents cannot sell or show new homes.
