Not necessarily.
I attended a class on water management in The Villages, presented by The Villages. They have a map that identifies the three types of ponds in The Villages.
1. Ponds with liners. These always have water, and water is moved in and out of these ponds. It is used to store excess water in the rainy season.
2. Unlined ponds. These might completely dry up in the dry season. So there is a chance that when you purchase the property you have a water view, six months later you are looking at a mud hole.
3. Ponds that are adjacent to nature preserves. They never interfere with these ponds.
So if you are purchasing a home have your sales agent find out what type of pond you’re on. At our class they had a big map that clearly identified the purpose of each body of water. I took a picture of it. Make sure you know what you’re buying.
I have lived on the 3rd type for 13 years. We usually do have one gator . …very entertaining.
If you are comfortable with the price…go for the water view.
It’s a great investment.
