Buyer beware is very good advice. There are deeds restrictions in the villages. When visiting ''open houses'' I noticed several cases of houses that were in violation because the house that was for sale had landscaping and curbing that was too close to the lot line and if a complaint was made the owner would have to fix it. When I pointed this out to the agent they denied any knowledge of the violation. If you buy a house that has this problem you---the new owner--- are responsible. I feel that the seller or the agent should be held responsible if they don't make the problem known. Unfortunately that's not what happens---so beware.
