Judging from the comments by the poster just before yours, Chitown said they stayed in Atwood Bungalows in May 2019. Alden Bungalows were built about 2016 on Powell Rd behind Traverse Shopping Center. In 2018 they decided to build another Bungalow villa section directly next to it, and just south called Atwood. They have a different name and their own entrance. The Villages Brownwood Medical Center also opened in 2018 directly across the street, which is where I see my doctor, and the Brownwood Hotel and Advanced Medical Center just opened, in fact I went to a doctor there last week. They are just west towards Wildwood and Traverse Shopping with Publix is next to that and south of Atwood/Alden.

It looks like the LSV have moved from Alden into Atwood, a move of about 100 yards, this allows them to sell off Alden. Here's a photo when Atwood was under construction January 2018. That's Alden Bungalows the finished units at the top and Atwood below them.

Here's the location on a map, just zoom out to see the entire area. This satellite photo is probably 6 years old, not even the shopping center is there, Publix opened in October 2014 at Traverse.

Brownwood Hotel & Spa (150 rooms and Wolfgang Puck Restaurant) and Advanced Care Medical Center just opened.
