I lived there for several years. That's the way The Villages designed/built those town houses. Here's some trivia - did you know those town houses were the place you were put up in for the lifestyle visit many moons ago ?

That's the first thing I thought of...

It seems each "set" of 3 homes had a Spanish tile, a shingle and a metal roof...

[Garywt]

Things that matter, not. Deed restrictions are different throughout the Villages, some neighborhood don’t have any.

That is where we stayed when we came for our "visitation" ( fall 2003).
$20 per night plus one hundred "Village Bucks" and two free dinners at The Catllemans Club (upstairs old Katie Bell's....when it was THE place to go......Villages residents or Guests of TV visitation only).

[Djean1981]

I like it.

[Mleeja]

I am sure I will be corrected if wrong, but I believe the Spanish Springs homes in the video are considered condos. The roofs would be maintained by the condo association. I don’t think the ARC has any say over these areas.

We also stayed in the Villas at Spanish Springs. I fell in love with mine and when they went on the market some time later I tried to buy one. At that time I was told they were selling for $450+. What do they sell for now?

I wish I knew how to delete a reply. Even though it says “Edit/Delete” I see no delete function, and it won’t let me save a reply that has nothing written. So, you get this instead.

[La lamy]

I agree it's quite unusual. Looks like roof people ran out of material even though I know that's not the case.

[Freeda]

I think that both of the areas shown look fine.

There is at least one courtyard villa neighborhood near Spanish Springs that every home has a tile roof

[sallyg]

I love those homes. The differing roofs just add to their charm.

[writerslife]

I find your post quite annoying. Either you need to search out a charity to vounteer for, or get a job. Seriously, you are driving around looking at the roofs on homes?
If you know anything about construction, a barrel tile roof or a metal roof will far outlast
shoddy asphalt shingles.
I find that neighborhood quite charming. And those homes are far better built than any of the new construction being slapped up today.

[shut the front door]

You are.
Those are individually owned homes and they are very expensive. So is the roof that you are required to fork up around 25k+ to replace when you are told.

[A-2-56]

What you are observing is Architecture. I don’t mean that to be sarcastic or flippant, only as a statement.
Architecture is many forms is Art and others it is function and occasionally both.
Look at some of the famous streets of San Fransisco where you have all the different colored building all adjacent to one another and yet each one is a different color, it works.
Look at these homes, you noticed the roofs, but did you also notice that the paint and design features on each unit were different?
Did you notice that when you moved to the next set, the pattern repeated or may have been mixed but still the three patterns were the same?
Not everyone appreciates a VanGough or a Davinci but they were all great by those that admire the work.
Not all golfer like the Pete Dye courses and some don’t like the Palmer or Nicklaus designs, but not everyone needs to.
You don’t have to like this eclectic blend of designs, but don’t criticize those that do.

[MrFlorida]

I would not buy there, so it really doesn't matter does it ?

[arbajeda]

Did you knock on any doors and ask the owners? Drawing conclusions without knowing the facts generally leads to embarassment.

As the tile part of the roof needed to be replaces, they were either not available or too expensive. So the homeowner replaced that section with another product. The metal roof is the best solution. Not sure why the sections with asphalt roofing.

How??? Probably a roofing contractor, that's how.

:shrug:

[Lottoguy]

Then why on one side of the road are the exact same homes all have the same roofs? It's just an observation that I find interesting. Sorry if I've annoyed your delicate disposition.

[Lottoguy]

Why would I knock on doors when I have all these 'experts" on TOTV?

[Topspinmo]

IMO no reason metal roofs should not be allowed anywhere in villages I agree that they should control what color. Metal roof rarely ever have to be replaced. IMO the metal roofs in that non district controlled area would looked better if deep red or brown. I do agree green sticks out like big pimple. Even the light colored shingled roof sticks out. But, who really looks up at roofs anyway?

You should have researched the how, when and why before making video and comments.

I’m willing to bet that area not controlled by CDD deed restrictions?

This site does not give you the permission to delete the whole post…..

However, you can delete everything you wrote and instead insert at least 3 random characters and save the post….. so for example, your post would read something like this…..

And nothing else…..

NO. "Rocket Surgery" is a somewhat recent (years old) phrase to demonstrate stupidity on someone else's part. Have used it for years especially in our advertising agency. A similar set of examples for "obvious"..."Does the Pope shat in the woods?" "Is a bear Catholic?"

Hello....

92286 You can get metal roofs in different variations. Even have some that look like shingle roofs and some that look like clay roofs.

Hello....

Actually, they are both used to demonstrate "ignorance"...

"It's not Rocket Science" was always meant to mean something is easy... Same with "Brain Surgery"...

Mixing the two is just a different, "fun" way to say the same thing...

Or, he just happened to notice the difference in the roofs and commented on them...

I agree, this IS just PATHETIC trolling. I noticed a midwestern accent on the Utube speaker when he said rofff, instead of roof. Sounds to me like a dog barking......wroff, wroff. I can see myself being an accent troll. I lived in Nebraska for 3 years and there were many friendly, interesting people there. But, there were also MANY neeby-nosers-type trolls, which I would define as someone that feels compelled to find FAULT with their neighbor for having some perceived imperfections (both large and small) in their person, belongings, yard, or (in this case) home.
......This particular Utuber-troll knocks himself out driving around and putting down homeowners and their wroff, wroffs with his sanctimonious babble and implying that they DARE offend HIS particular personality disorder of roof-color-coordination. What a crock.....a witch's brew of sanctimony and pet peeves. And probably not even in his own neighborhood? It was like a military-conformity inspection! And he even managed to slander the homeowners that were proud of their partial 2-story house sections.
.....God said come FORTE for mental flexibility and empathy ......and he came fifth...... or maybe 6th. To troll or not to troll? Whether tis better in the minds of men to be a creepy butthead or........

[CWGUY]

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: Hey folks I know you are all having fun so please don't let your lack of knowledge stop you from posting. They ARE condos and they do have their own HOA (actually condo assoc.) They also pay taxes and I think amenities. The owners own from the sheet rock in. They were built with those roofs. Now that it's known that they are not liked by some on this site..... they will be re-roofed starting tomorrow. :rolleyes:

That's the beauty of older housing. The older housing has mostly been remodeled and SOMEBODY in TV had to approve this. So, there is less of a "Cookie Cutter" look in Spanish Springs, which I think is great myself. <3

We did our lifestyle preview in 1998 and these were where we were put up and there was nothing north or west of Morse Blvd.
