Until recently, The Villages sold some reasonably priced small cottage homes with standard/modest features. We were blessed to get one right before the prices took off.. Now, they are selling used for about 2x as much.. I read that new nearby apartments were going to cost $2k a month - several hundred more a month than my mortgage. Even homes in nearby Wildwood are super overpriced. I don't know how ordinary workers afford to live nearby. The OP works remote, and may indeed be able to afford to live here - could be making San Francisco-type wages.
