Well maintained manufactured home is easy to find on the historic side - as are some not so well maintained! Best ins company with good coverage and affordable cost for manufactured home - All In One insurance, Lady Lake [www dot all in one ins dot com] 526 N HWY 27/441, Lady Lake, FL 32159, allinwon@bellsouth.net 352-674-9015 877-838-3417 (Toll-Free Number) Most important concern is making sure the tie down system is up-to-date and floors have not gone spongy. That lost power after Irma was because of a problem with the central station that feeds Lady Lake.

Best features of the historic side besides the neighbors...no traffic, no additional development other than the new gentrified site built homes, mature landscaping, convenience to shopping and medical offices and restaurants [other than TV country clubs], no traffic, easily navigated roads for walking and biking, neighbors who won't complain because you have statutes/flags/plastic flowers in your yard, neighbors who will flock to your new neighbor meet n greet driveway party and will bring their own chair and liquid refreshment, the only brick and mortar post office IN the Villages as well as close proximity to the main Lady Lake P.O., golf cart accessible gas station, no traffic, convenient golf path cart accessibility to lowes/aldi/walmart/cracker barrel/bealls/etc, 3 golf courses, reg'l rec center w/family pool and 2 adult pools that stay open later than other pools and one that has a hot tub and one with a lift chair, cell phone coverage is plentiful and did I mention no traffic? If you prefer traffic, congestion driving on roads with cars and carts, and having shopping and medical offices further from home - another Village might better suit your needs.

The historic side is more like the legacy side now since many of the original owners have passed and willed their property to heirs or their homes have been sold to younger folks. And resale difficulty? lol You're looking there - aren't you? And some of those other communities - homeowners don't own the land their home is situated on - they pay additional rent for the pad the home sits on...Water Oak for sure.

Please know that I am not affiliated with the developer! lol We have only been snowbirds for 10 years - on the historic side - and would not live anywhere else...even if we were permanent residents! Feel free to private message me if you want to discuss further.
