I had read the article previously and wondered the same thing. I think the key might be their phrase in describing these communities as "the best bang for the buck". I know Port Charlotte, which was one of the places mentioned, offers tremendous deals on homes, and many are on or near the water. For the price, I think you get a lot more house down there as opposed to here. I personally think the homes here in The Villages, for the size lots we have and lack of privacy, are a little pricey. We make up for it with the amenities and activites, but I don't think you can put TV in a "bang for the buck" type of category. Just my opinion.
