The Lofts Apartments mentioned by Topspinmo are brand new, the last building was just finished. Rent is a bit steep, $1700 for a studio, then $2100 to $3000 for the 2 and 3 BR units plus amenities fee and are one year leases only. They are right at Brownwood square, they have their own pool and dog walking park, and washer & dryer inside the unit.

Actual apartment style condos that you buy, I'm not aware of any inside TV. The closest would be a patio villa. In the established Villages a resale unit would be about $165K to $230K and is similar to a small 1000 sf house with 2 BRs and a 1-1/2 car garage. In the new home section south of SR 44 a new patio villa is about $190K to about $230K and you can get those with a 2 car garage or for about $175K with a carport and no garage. The Villages Real Estate has about 90 patio villas listed in both new and used, here is a link. They'll be additional resales listed with the MLS Realtors (outside agencies) and those you can find by searching on zillow.com, trulia.com or realtor.com

Here is an example of a new Patio Villa with 2 car garage, a lanai on the side, it's listed for $216K. From the inside photo you can see it has no carpet in the main living areas, gas stove and stainless steel appliances. With villas most people hire landscapers to cut their grass or if approved, have the grass removed and replaced with shrubs and gravel.
