Never heard of a "bond" on a new home purchase until I moved down here. I understand the reason for the bond, but it does make someone to pause when they compare the amount of home you get right outside of the Villages. Yes, you are paying for the lifestyle. You also pay for the lifestyle every month and in your tax bill. I have purchased twice here and both times, the bond has been paid off. I get just as much home as those purchasing a new home. It all has to do with what you are willing to pay. Some have money that they know they can't take with them, so they don't mind. Others are on a limited budget but want to live the lifestyle here. It is what it is. As long as people are willing to pay the "extra" price, then the homes are worth it.
