My question is, have many seen or heard of new homes being built on these sites? My guess is that management would prefer to move the current inventory of open sites in areas such as Buttonwood. Would the HOA prevent placing a new Modular on those sites?

thanks
There are many who post here that live in that area, and are far more qualified than I to comment. However I will tell you some of what I know. There are three villages (the original villages) east of 441, Orange Blossom Gardens, Silver Lake, and Country Club Hills. They were originally all manufactured homes, but many have been replaced as others have said, with either better, double-wide homes or site-built homes. I presume there are certain zoning regs you would have to meet, but you can build a home on a lot after removing the manufactured home. You may want to consider whether that is a wise economic move, as you will likely be overbuilt for the neighborhood for some time.
