Hacienda Hills & Katie Belle's have been identified as apartments. 468 new apartments including section 8 are being built behind the Haciendas of Mission Hills. TooJay's and Demshar's have closed in Spanish Springs and are they next to become apartments?
I consider a move to On Top of the World in Ocala. Husband said he would never move anywhere that you didn't own the land (leasehold). I have recently found out that there are 3 communities in OTOW (Candler Hills, Indigo East & Weybourne Landing) that is fee simple and you DO own the land.
I would like your thoughts please on why or why not you would consider OTOW? Thank you.

I lived in Top of the World for 10 years moved to the villages in 2013, Yes they have many home options and it a well built community. You'll find you will get a lot of home for the money, also all the roads are private and gated with 24 hour guards. Also with all the build up you have a lot more places you can go on a golf cart. But like most places their are good and bad points. I thought of moving back a couple years ago for some of the reasons you have stated, but circumstances have kept me here
