We bought a resale (3rd owners of a 4-yr old house) because location was the most important thing to us, and we couldn't get a new house in the location we wanted.

We wanted to be near Lake Sumter Landing so I could see the water every day. We drew a circle around LSL on the map, and told our Villages agent that those were the villages we were most interested in seeing. She also showed us some incredible brand new homes that we loved, but they were not where we wanted to be. When we saw the fabulous view from a 3-2 CYV in our preferred location we were sold! I can see water (and a golf course) from inside the house!

The villa came with a bond, but we planned to stay here for only a year or 2 to see if something bigger in our location (with a water view) came up for sale. Meanwhile, we've been here for almost 3 years, and I've come to love having a smaller place without much maintenance. It leaves more time for play!
