The land is owned by the federal government and they may make changes. The championship golf course is the one students will use. Not trying to scare you away from your choice, simply telling you to do your research on a home before buying. Remember, the Villages purchased enough land to build for 20 years. If you decide Moultrie Creek isn't a great fit for you, a few months later another village(s) will become available. Sometimes, it may be best to wait.

Right now, prices of homes in the Villages are dropping. If you are counting on appreciation of your home, you probably should watch the Villages market. Go to VLS and MLS weekly and look at the price of the homes. As you probably know, the real estate market changes. Sometimes it is up and sometimes down.
Great points here that are mentioned. Since there are many unknowns in the new build areas, might it be smarter to buy in the developed areas of TV where you already know the unknowns?
Between 466 and 466A is absolutely prime with golf courses, pickleball, recreation centers, town squares, shopping, etc. Not to mention you will not have a crazy high bond, if any bond at all.
