If I were the Morse family............
I would be making plans for a new retirement area similar to The Villages.
In as few as three years or as many as six the area south of 466A will be finished but I don't think the Morses are finished being developers.
With the ushering in of the biggest wave of seniors still ahead, why should they quit now?
If I were them I would probably be looking for cheap and available land not too far from a city. I think I would concentrate on an area north of here because of the availability of more and less expensive land. I wouldn't be surprised if it were close to St. Augustine. Why miss a chance to call the new area "The Fountain of Youth"?.
I would use my knowledge of developing The Villages and "tweak" it. I would have wrought iron fences for dog owners in some areas. I would build Craftsman Bungalows somewhere (since they are the NEW retro style being seen in the few areas that are still building) with the opportunity to have a guest suite on the second floor. I would have more upgrades in the middle segment that we call designers with granite and stainless steel part of every house offered. I would have condo apartments with available deliverable meals.
If you were on the planning committee, what would you add??? And where would you build it?
Just dreamin'. Dream along with me.
