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?
We live in Linden. My wife picked the lot and it faces with the front East and the Back West. And the Lanai has a retention pond view. We couldn’t have chosen a better location. Will never move. I also play a lot of early Golf and would not want to live so close to the tee box. The start stop of the carts would get old. The sunsets are spectacular. I also built fences and walls and never understood why anyone would like the view. Cheers Steve
