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?
Don’t know but: would not want my lanai facing street (noice and privacy), would not want facing preserve (wildlife and mosquitoes), would not want to face another lanai (privacy), would not want adjacent to some rec centers (pickle ball noise). Probably backing up to a golf course where I was not in the line of fire would be nice. Preferably on higher ground than course level. IMHO. Me, I live in a CYV so take above with a grain of salt. Of course none of this answers your questions
