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.

The developer is proposing to build 286 apts on the site. They are going to put in walking trails, pickle ball & tennis courts and a resort style pool. They have also indicated that they will put in a restaurant. The developer has a specific number of unassigned amenity fees of which they will use 286, one for each apt. The developer will collect the fees and pay back $14.00 per month for community watch and other services. The developer will maintain the apartments and the pool, trails, etc. there will be no expense to the AAC or the district for the maintenance and upkeep.
Under this plan ALL residents of the villages will have access to all the amenities offered by the apartments and the residents there will have access to all the villages amenities.
I have not heard any mention of taking down the palms nine hole golf course so I have no idea if that is in the plan or just a rumor
