No one has yet mentioned the maintenance fees. In the newer villages these run about $475 per year. Bonds on new ranch homes in the new villages are just under $20K. they are currently amortized over 30 years @ 5.375%. Friends in Bridgeport just bought a new home and their bond was $46K for a designer. To my knowledge there is no bond or maintenance fee for villages located in Lake County. They are outside any CDD and thus beyond the reach of that type of taxing unit.
