If in the Villages I would not necessarily agree or rule out a home for that reason. The Villages has a great plan for water management and it seems to work. FEMA does not know the land has been built up and unless you petition them with the proper paperwork it will not change. I would bet most all homes near a pond or preserve are listed in a FEMA flood zone which is the land most are trying to pay a premium for in the Viillages.
