I believe the Parkwood development is the one where some folks reported issues with the Developer and it is not The Villages developer...whole different outfit.

Bison Valley was orginally built for employees and families that have parents and so on living in TV. Most of our residents do work for The Villages. Most of us have been around The Villages for along time.. The Villages is the developer and builder of the homes in Bison Valley. The same builder that builds in TV built the homes in Bison. All of our association meetings are held at Laurel Manor Offices. However on paper the owner is not listed as The Villages, but another company that is technically the villages. Addressed at Lake Sumter Landing. That is done for deed reasons in connection to TV. Bison was opened to all after economy slowed. But we are sold out! We are very happy the Morse family had Bison Developed. We enjoy it here and love working in and for The Villages.

Now Parkwood on the other hand which is behind us on CR-101 has nothing whatsoever to do with The Villages. It is owned by some poeple from Miami area. They do have alot of problems there. We do the construction for them also. I have a few friends that live that could not qualify for Bison so they bought in Parkwood. They were told they could use the sidewalk for Golf Cart access to Bison Valley so they could go into The VIllages. We complained to SCSO and they have put a stop to that.. But Parkwood has nothing to do with The Villages properties at all.
