There is a home being built now at Bridgeport at Laurel Valley and it will have six bedrooms and five baths. The Birdcage houses a pool that will have a huge planter in the middle and the Birdcage itself is one of the biggest I have seen here, encompassing almost the whole lot. You can see the pillars for the birdcage because it is close to 466.
It is fun to walk through in the evening after the building crews have left.

IMO. And please keep in mind that these are just my thoughts. The Villages has become
too well known now. The number of residents and/or households has exploded in the last few years. The ages of the residents is seemingly creeping downward. Forty-somethings want to move in because of the wonderful lifestyle TV offers. You will soon see many changes on the historic side which I happen to love for its charm. Granted, some of the mobile homes are aging but they will be replaced with cookie cutter type suburban houses. Ho-hum. And houses being built will continue to get larger and larger. Why do we do that? I've seen this trend for years in my market in greater Atlanta. Beautiful older neighborhoods are torn down to make way for yet another McMansionhood.
While I'm on my soapbox... I also often cringe when I read posts from people complaining that Kohl's, for example, (which is a whole three miles from their door) is just
too far away; we need another. More, more, more. Bigger, bigger, more expensive. Why not just stay in the big city or move to Miami or Lauderdale?
I'm done. Thank you.
