We just drove to the sales office and asked. You could see the man at the front desk was very uncomfortable with the question and a manager stepped in and he, too, was very uncomfortable. He explained that it is a franchise. They franchised it two years ago. What is interesting to me is you sign your contract on The Villages letterhead and you pick up and return your keys to The Villages sales office. Quite some control over the operation for someone that is not in control. Nowhere does it state it is a franchise.
