The houses in TV are mostly basic tract homes. TV's houses are not Palm Beach or even toll Brothers quality. To me choosing to buy in TV is analogous to a family buying a house located in a quality school district versus one in an area having low quality schools. People with school age children will pay more for a basic house in an excellent school district than they will for an expensively constructed house in a district having low quality schools. Similarly, seniors are willing to pay more, even far more, for a house in TV than the same house would cost in an area lacking the amenities and lifestyle TV has to offer for seniors.

So much in real estate boils down to the desirability of a particular location. The Villages is a highly desirable community for active seniors for many, many reasons which is why it continues to grow so rapidly.
