The Developer does a nice job of maintaining the properties.

Since the Developer is a developer, the Developer will continue to develop.
Shocking to me are the people that are shocked at the development/growth.
Glad the Developer continues to develop, rather than sell off.

From generation to generation, the Developer continues with consistent values and execution and vision.


I've been here 20 yrs and think the concept is great.. but the developer does not take care of and maintain the older areas, it's the district you live in that maintains them.. In fact many years ago 2008 there was a huge law suit that TV's lost paying 40 miilion $$$ for the upkeep that should have been being done

Villages settles lawsuit, will fund $40M in upgrades – Orlando Sentinel

I'm not trying to be negative because I do believe TV is a great place to live, but there is a huge difference in how the developer does business now compared to before they crossed over 44.. In the past you would never see a development being built without "ALL" the amenities being put in 1st... now it's sell the homes and then put in Rec. centers, pools, and golf courses the residents can wait
