Who are the builders?
Where can I find out more online information?

Beaumont is on the sign. Developer not involved

[mulligan]

The builder is D R Horton. My suggestion would be run away, far away, and quickly.

[John_W]

The developer of that land is Beaumont Properties. It's going to be mixed use, townhomes, single family homes and commercial along 466A. Currently they are marketing the townhomes first. It is for all ages and families, prices starting at $187K, here's a link.

If you're looking for property just outside TV at a lower price, I would check out Lakeside Landing. If your are on Buena Vista northbound passing Arnold Palmer, at the next roundabout go west (third exit) on Rainey Trail and just past the Lake Miona County Park on the left, you see Lakeside Landing. It's only about 2 miles from Lake Sumter Landing. It's established, all residential, quick access to TV and Hwy 301, they are still building new single family homes, but there are many townhomes already built.

Looks nice but fyi, they advertise no bond but watch out for HOA Fees that run up monthly costs.

[NotGolfer]

Not sure if the OP knows those new places aren't considered Villages properties---so you wouldn't have access to the amenities. BUT wouldn't hurt to do a search---let us know what you find out!!

Why?

[Rsenholzi]

If it’s D R Horton , look at this. Hopefully, it’s not

[Lucylu60]

I bought a DRHORTON home and they
Build with the cheapest materials and seems like they cut corners wherever they can. It's all about the bottom line with them.

Lakeside Landings was mentioned up thread. We were ready to buy in to the bubble, but we wanted new construction, and did not want to be down in the Fenney area. We found Lakeside Landings almost by accident and felt at home as soon as we drove through the gates.

We don’t golf, nor do we have “3000 clubs”, but we enjoy a pretty nice lifestyle. LAkeside will have about 750 total housing units at buildout, which will likely be by the end of 2021. The new homes here are well-built, very attractive, and a great value. We don’t have a bond or CDD fees. Our HOA is $262 monthly, which includes all lawn maintenance, including trees and shrubs, landscaping, watering, and yearly remulching. We leave for summers, and it’s nice to know that the yard maintenance will be taken care of in our absence.

The Villages of Bridgeport and Lynnhaven form two of our borders. The physical layout of the community is very nice. The amenities include two pools, one of which is a grand resort-style, 2 hot tubs, and a beautiful clubhouse with a card room, billiards room, etc. The location is convenient to everything.

One con is that we do not have free access to the golf cart streets. We solved that by getting a street-legal cart. Our access point is less than 2 blocks away. Sumter and Spanish Springs are about 15-25 minutes away, respectively. Brownwood takes almost 45 minutes by cart, but less than 10 by car.

Don’t get me wrong: We like the vIllages and it’s why we came to this part of the state in the first place. We just happened to have found something that fit us better. If you’re looking for quality new construction, in a convenient location, you owe it to yourself to check out Lakeside.

That is the one !! My son got sucked in a little better than a year ago. Since then, it has been a constant uphill battle for warranty repairs, and correction of totally incompetent work by unqualified people. The bosses paychecks are base on how many corners they can cut. The management thinks there is nothing wrong with hiring totally in competent people.

DR Horton is the builder. I am in the insurance business. Be very careful. DR Horton is involved in a lot of construction related claims that basically mean subcontractors doing less than stellar work. I think their home base is Orlando. Be very careful!!!

It sounds nice. Are there any pickleball courts or tennis courts?

Yes, I hear them smacking the whiffle ball around when I pass the clubhouse.

[JohnN]

I like Lakeside Landings quite a bit, but the two negatives in my opinion were higher costs (compared to what I currently pay) for HOA (LL is $130 for amenities and another $130 for Landscaping et al) and real estate taxes (I was quoted about $5K on a $340K property., double what I pay) Those two things offset any benefit for me to move from my current Villages home.

I went to see the community and was told by a salesperson the townhomes have a bond of $13,000 and the single family homes have a bond of $17,000.

[Jima64]

Most of the national builders are having this same problem. Pulte in the del Webb communities is a good example.

Does anyone have information about the old yellow farmhouse onBuena Vista? Curious about origins

Can you easily drive a golf cart from Lakeside Landing to Lake Sumpter Landing?

It sounds like they are in the "Tire Choice" class of home builders.

[John_W]

"Lakeside Landing" It sounds nice. Are there any pickleball courts or tennis courts?

Lakeside Landing is not even a mile from Arnold Palmer, take a look, they have a beautiful pool and putting green. I have neighbors who moved there.

Legally no, but they're only 200 yards from TV and many do have carts and just shoot down Rainey Trail.

[New Englander]

I may take a tour if this Covid madness ever ends.

[perrjojo]

A lot of misinformation here on this thread.
D R Horton has been building homes since 1978. Their HDQ is in Arlington, Texas. They built our home in Texas and many for others I have known. They are a publicly traded Corp and have a stellar reputation. Perhaps their quality has slipped; I don’t know but it has been excellent in the past. We all have different experiences .

Sumter and Spanish Springs are about 15-25 minutes away, respectively. Brownwood takes almost 45 minutes by cart, but less than 10 by car.

So can you drive your street legal cart JUST on the public streets or the Multi-Modal path that is for Villages residents and guests?

Looks like a nice area.
