I believe this is the deed restriction for the 'historic' district:

If not then other Lake County deeds docs are here:

No Fences Make Better Neighbors!
 

I'm glad we don't have fences- it also makes our small lots look more spacious. I look at CYV's and think of exercise pens inside of max. security prisons. Huge walls for a little piece of "MY" land? No Thanks.

There are plenty of places in Florida where you can have a fence- but don't expect it to be as open or friendly as your neighborhood in the Villages.

I guess it's O.K to have a hedge up to 4'that works just as good as a fence. Sorry about my comment yesterday (just fustrated)

BUC, you are ok, we still love ya! We all get emotional about things now and then, God knows I have!
This fence thing all boils down to one fact.....Before you buy, you are given the rules. If you don't like them, don't buy, don't buy with the intent you cange them changed. Remember, TV is bascially a "private, owner controlled stand alone city" it is not like the town/city you moved from. That is why you are given the "rules" before you sign! A little Stepfordish? Yes kinda, but it is what we who own there want and like!

rules
 

Your real estate agent should supply complete deed restrictions prior to closing, Part of his(her) job IMHO. Also, I believe this a legal requirement.

I guess if you read the deed...........
 

I don't think I remember our Villages agent telling us about the restrictions. He answered when we asked a specific question about anything. We did know about them because on our "drink the Koolaid" visit with friends, when they took us to Orange Blossom Hills restaurant for dinner, we noted that there were a lot of lawn ornaments on the older side and we discussed it then with our hosts and about the difference and tightening of restrictions as the area grew and moved south.

You may be right and it may be required by Florida disclosure laws, or they may be different from Ohio and I just don't remember hearing it, or Sweetie may have been told not in my hearing or I may have signed a paper with all of the details at closing...but I don't recall doing so.

Are disclosure laws consistent across the United States?

Because we have deed restrictions in our development in Cincinnati that are very similar to those in The Villages, I really didn't give it much thought.

I know I like those restrictions very much.

How did those folks get by the restrictions painting that house such a BRIGHT BLUE up near Glenview Country Club??????

blue house
 

Probably with a roller

If stucco, I hope they used a roller with the thick nap.

Actually the blue house is not that bad. I think it was a case of the colors in the brochure looked okay but what ended up on the house was a little brighter when spread over that big of an area.

Oh Z. I have to disagree with you for the very first time.:p:wave:

I'll be so glad when this silly thread is done. The only sensible answer is if you don't want to live with restrictions, choose someplace else to live.

Jblum, if you find this thread silly, perhaps you should pass it up and head over to Political. They're not silly over there, but they may use you for a dart board. :laugh:

Bare, you are so right as usual. I have foolishly ventured over there twice in the past week. I must be losing my mind. Tony? The next time you see me post in political, just remove the post.

If we did that, Gracie, there would be people whistling and prancing about censorship. Right?:icon_wink:

Speaking of the "political" dart board...
 

I thought that in addition to no fences, TV had no school-yard bullies, given that it's an age-restricted community. Imagine my surprise when I've peeked into Political. OMG
