The houses offer alot for the money especially the new single level 4 bedroom. However you will pay 2 amenity fees ($100) since that house sits on 2 lots. The New Rec Center looks great BUT have they opened it yet. They advertise it as open but in my drive throughs I have never seen anyone in the pool or the center itself other than people expecting to buy.
Be aware, from what I hear, expect to pay the unexpected at closing. I would drive around the development and talk to some residents and see and hear first hand how closing or the "buying" process worked and ask are they satisfied living there. Parkwood is NOT "The Villages" and never wil be. My friends, who I visit, say the developer is very controlling on all aspects of living in this development....but it does have alot of kids, a rec center and pool for the kids and its close to The Village school(s).
