Rumors are flying about the future of the Hacienda Hills CC property. I overheard a conversation this morning that apartments or condos will be built and a restaurant and pool will replace the old restaurant and pro shop. The most upsetting part of the conversation was that the Palms 9 would be torn out to make room for the condos. This is simply devastating to me (if it is true). Although I don’t live near there, the thought that TV is leaning in this direction upsets me greatly. With all of the sprawl that is taking place down south where there are virtually no amenities whatsoever, how could tearing up the Palms benefit anyone, not to mention the people who bought homes there? What about the impact on home prices throughout The Villages? More apartments will have a negative impact on the rest of us. Does anyone have ANY idea what the developer is planning to do? BTW, condo owners will have all the amenities we homeowners have, including the new pool and restaurant. I also heard that these condos or apartments could be income restricted. Not a good thing at all.
