IMO they made the drive ways too curvy and garage’s too small. But the sold so doing something right?

The pricing of a home has several elements. Cost of property, cost of material, of course the going rate, and in the margin is the pay of the workers. Each time that The Villages buys land, that land cost goes up. I think they know their market and know the costs and that is why the lots are smaller in the newer areas.
Has anyone driven through The Village of Harmeswood in Bellaire, north of 466 and off of Buena Vista? Those homes have enormous lots. Many people do not want a large lot to take care of. Drive through there sometime to look. Lovely homes with designs like nowhere else in The Villages. We have a lot of homes here to choose from and I am very glad they are sought after. I want to pass down a valuable item to our kids and grandkids. But first we are enjoying the heck out of living here.
