Might depend on what is meant by "part of The Villages."
Middleton by The Villages (MbTV) will be run by a CDD just like the numbered districts we all live in. The MbTV CDD will make use of the services of the VCCDD just like the numbered districts we all live in. It looks like a town center, amenities, and MMPs are planned for MbTV just like the areas we all live in.
It is likely that the MbTV residents will not pay the same amenity fee we pay and will not have cards allowing them to access our pools, rec centers, and golf courses.
MbTV will not be an age restricted community like the areas we live in.
It will be built by the same Developer
It will have a CDD just like we do
It will utilize services of the VCCDD just like we do
It will have a bond just like we do
It will have recreation and commercial space just like we do
It will NOT be age restricted
It will likely NOT have access to "the Villages" amenities
So whether or not you consider it to be "part of The Villages" depends on which of those things matter to you.
To me, the two items it will not have are what makes it not part of the Villages.
