The no bond at building surprising. I thought homes near Tierra Del Sol had bonds, but could be wrong.

Building 29 years ago in 1996 is very different than 2025 new builds
House was built in 1996 without a pool. Was sold back to the Villages around 2008 and got some significant upgrades before being resold. We bought in 2015 with no bond and added the pool/birdcage 1 1/2 years later (with many extra features) for $62K turnkey built by T&D. Total cost of home and brand new pool/birdcage $252K with no bond. Put on new roof ($14.5K) and got new HVAC system ($7.2K) last year. House now needs absolutely nothing except for a new hot water heater in a couple years. Actually, the house does need one critical improvement, we need to find a way to dump some northern responsibilities so we can spend more time there.
