They quit buying up homes in the historic side 2 years ago. There are 300 newer homes that were built 2-5 years ago. There is a non Villages builder in the process of building 3 new homes now in The historic side. Donna Fenster (#1 Villages sales rep) will be selling those even though they aren’t being built by The Villages.

The developer (and others) have been buying up the older ones as they come available and tearing them out and building new homes ...in the last couple of years 200-300 have been built - they will often times tear out the old one and allow you to visit the lot and give you a selection of homes that could be built ... advantages are - no bond or impact fees, mature landscaping - lots of trees and bushes , no traffic ..it's an island it's not a thru route there also quiet and peaceful ...no turnpike and Coleman Prison. lots of recreation without crossing the bridge. access to Lowes/Aldi Wal Mart/ Bealls the yet to be built BJ's etc. all via the gate off Paradise.
