The $0 and $5K interior lots on the other hand, you can just take your pick. But, unfortunately the beautiful house you want to build on the view lot, doesn't fit on the $5K lot. So there is that.

We had our “dream home” built on a golf course lot. No golf balls because of the lot we chose. Mowers and golf cart noise were minimal, again, because of the lot we chose. I will make a guess that it is likely more difficult to choose the exact lot on a golf course today because of the so called “lottery” for them. If I was purchasing today that could be a deal breaker for me. But to each their own. A water view lot was not in our plans for reasons others have mentioned in their posts.
That said, you can choose your house and lot but not your neighbors. Generally speaking your neighbors are just a few feet away on either side and not far across the street. As far as value, the value in most cases, has been extremely profitable in The Villages. I have no reason to believe that won’t continue in the future. I cannot emphasize enough that due diligence is a must when purchasing real estate in The Villages. Good hunting.
