The villages has an excellent marketing department
The Villages has an excellent marketing department, which is a primary reason for their phenomenal success. They have sent out copious amounts of literature, videos, floor plans, maps and so on and so forth........
No other development can afford do that , nor has the inclination to do that.
Just try requesting information from other 55+ communities.
Like the old saying, "If you build it, they will come"......their success has been word of mouth praise from very happy consumers. It is absolutely amazing how many people in Vermont have heard of THE VILLAGES.
It runs akin to "Disney World" as far as name recognition.
Even to people who have never been there.
I have no doubt that THE VILLAGES will survive........whereby so many other start up communities fell by the wayside during the last recession.
In other parts of Florida, coast to coast, beautiful homes are out there for the buying.......but the rest of the street is spotted with weedy lots and murky pool water in the abandoned homes.
So many foreclosures and short sales, all over Florida ........if one just is looking for a dwelling to purchase..........but one has to think of their surroundings as well.
As I said the other day, TV has excellent zoning and a beautiful total community.......no matter which village one ends up in. All tastefully done.
