We didn't buy in The Villages to have the neighbor from Hell living next door like we did in Tennessee. Our old neighborhood was a good area until a local realtor bought the house next door to us. The renter that lived there before current one let his grass grow to knee height and cars came and went all night. We suspected he was running a "business" there also and after a couple visits by the sheriff's department we figured our thoughts were correct. Luckily the property management company kicked that family out and the current renter maintains the property very well. Do you really think a prospective buyer would have believed that it wasn't a problem having a jungle next door to the house they were looking at? Do you really think we would have gotten a full price offer? If I was looking at a home to purchase in that village and saw that collection of carts, I would have told the realtor to just forget that area and go to the next one. If that was your house that lost a potential sale, would you still think that it wasn't a problem?
