Nineteen years ago we purchased our first house in The Village of Caroline. There was a waiting list to get a Villa. “We are building down to 466a” better buy now,” said the Developer. Just a couple years later “we building all the way to SR44 better buy now was the sales pitch”.

As long as there is land and money to be made, The villages will continue to expand. There is no other adult retirement community in the U.S. like The villages. “So shall it be written, so shall it be done” Ramses - Yul Brynner the movie Ten Commandments
