The Villages website refers to Home Golf Front Site, Golf View Site, Water Front Site, Water View Site, View Site, and Preserve Site.
Can anyone explain the differences between a Golf Front Site and a Golf View Site and a Water Front Site and a Water View Site and a regular View Site? Why isn't there a preserve view site?
Any pros or cons for these various sites?
I have seen complaints from people that live on golf courses - noise and golf balls in their back yards. Do people with view sites think that it is worth the premium price?

Golf course means you are actually on the golf course, golf view means from somewhere in your home you can see the golf course, but you are not actually on the golf course, same holds true for Water or water view home sites. If the people actually on the course or lake plant something and it blocks your view, there is nothing you can do about it. They are allowed to.
We bought 22 years ago on a championship golf course by the tee box with a lake view as well. Best money we ever spent. Every morning even after 22 years when we open the blinds we take in the view and love it. We will never move. Championship golf courses are quiet because less people play plus it is closed 2 days a week. Its like having a private park behind us. Never had a ball land in our yard, never. My friend bought with a lake view (not on a golf course), it's basically a large pond that amplifies the sound of her neighbors talking on their patio. We have never had that problem because we can barely even see across the golf course and our next door neighbors, also long term, are very respectful. Most people who tell you not to buy on a championship golf course can't afford to live on one so make up things. That said, I would not buy on an executive course, way too much play, morning to night 7 days a week. Our second choice was a preserve lot which would also have been a wide open view and quiet, but this lot became available first and we are so glad it did and we bit the bullet and bought it. By the way, the resale of houses on the course has skyrocketed compared to those not on the course, so not only is it an amazing place to live with an amazing view, but it has proven to be an amazing investment too. Buy a golf course lot on a championship course. You will never regret it. I wish you all the best.
