To me, I would say the new areas of The Villages represents the dream homes of the newer crowd of Villagers. We have worked hard for this for our careers and now want to enjoy to the fullest. To most, I think, that does not mean skimping on a economy sized home but to get the best we can afford while young enough to enjoy it to the maximum.

The historic side, I believe, when being sold in the early '80's, were our parent's generation who had to save during their jobs and did not want to spend as much in retirement but were happy also in just having their moderate needs.
