Deed restrictions are in place and accepted by everyone who moves in The Villages when you buy a home here. Property values are saved and rise in value because of these restrictions. If you are so proud of your home made glass bottle tree or your statues or your personal art work or your cactus garden or your trailor park reflectors lining your front yard or your 3 ft fish planter with flowers growing out of its mouth just put it out in your back yard so you can lounge all day on your barca lounger chair viewing your bad taste thru your sliding glass door but please put a nice thick hedge up first so your rear neighbors do not have to look at it.
