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).

Our in-laws bought in Parkwood. Talk about the "unexpected" at closing, how about 27K?!! I told my BIL over and over again to get a lawyer to sit at closing. You know when that developer is lying?....when you see his mouth open! There are innumeral buyers who are very disgruntled. One guy got arrested because he tried to drive his car thru the sales office. We talked to former sales people who never got paid. He stiffs his subs, too! I've bought new construction in the past, but the in-laws' punch-out list was the longest I've ever seen! I've got a RE broker's license and was a General appraiser for years, I would steer clear of Parkwood!!!!
By the way, I'm NOT active in real estate. Retired.
