A year or two ago the Developer was buying up older mobile homes and building a number of site built homes in that area of The Villages. The area you speak about near Spanish Springs is a mix of site built homes, some Villas, some condos.and some manufacture homes. Some prefer them because they generally have fewer deed restrictions. Some of these homes have been updated and some haven’t. Lots of choices of various homes in The Villages. Something for everyone and generally in every price category.

New homes are still being built here although the building has slowed.
One advantage over here is that you can use any builder that you want. You don't have to use The Villages.
There are a few different ways that new homes are being built. At first, The Villages bought up a bunch of manufactured homes that were on the market, removed them and built new home on those sites. I have one of those.
Secondly, some people that owned manufactured homes had them removed and built new site built homes or replaced them with newer manufactured homes.
Some people bought manufactured homes and had them removed and built new homes.
I believe that The Villages may have bought some and had them removed and are now selling the lots. I think that in those cases you do have to use The Villages builders and have one of their models built.
