My concern is that this area will eventually be phased out by TV. Does anyone know if this has ever been a concern?


Anything is always possible, after all the beautiful indoor pool at the wellness center was destroyed to expand the hospital and was never replaced. A beautiful and impressive country club with resort pool, spa, and pool tiki bar was sacrificed to make room for more revenue generating housing, the amazing wellness center that offered residents the opportunity of membership for a very affordable price to encourage "America's healthiest hometown" was the saying of the time, but that too was ended suddenly, so you can't move here thinking things will not be suddenly changed. It's not like a traditional city or town where the resident's have a great deal of control, elect a city council, a mayor, etc. However, I would not worry about a purchase on the original site across 441, it has, in my opinion, been constantly improved and renovated, and remains one of the nicest area for sure. A warning, should you happen across a certain on line site that claims to be a villages newspaper, there are people who make comments on that site about the "historic" part of the villages. It appears there a several who are the same ones who post really awful things about those villages, as if they are dangerous and almost full of drifters and criminals, be very careful about believing their posts... very suspicious. A LOT of brand new homes going up on that side, beautiful settings.
