Villages south of 44
 

Now that The Villages extends all the way from route 42 to route 44 what do you think the chances are that they will move south and east of 44 and 468.
Morse Blvd will connect with 468 in the near future. North of 44 The Villages extends almost a mile east of 468.
There is almost 2800 acres of land south of 44 and east of 468 to the turnpike that is owned by two individuals. The Bailey brothers own 658 acres of land and Daryl M Carter owns 2156 acres of land.

What do you think the chances are that The Villages will someday extend all the way to the turnpike?

Anything is possible. I never thought they'd build in Lake County again and they will be with The Villages of Fruitland Park. Key West is a long ways away. lol

As long as they come he will build.

It seems to me TV resumed building in Lake County well before The Fruitland Park thing. If you get on 44 go east of Brownwood four or five miles you will see land improvement going on, on the north side of 44 now do a u turn after you pass the improvements and as you come back west you will see a sign that says "Welcome to The Villages"

no telling what might be next!

Better than even odds that the Villages of Lake Sumter, Inc. will continue to grow this community as far as the IRS allows them:wave:

ask some of the folks who once upon a time were wondering if TV would ever go further south than 466 (not to be confused with 466A).

TV will continue as long as the appropriate land for developement continues to become available.

btk

I can just visualize 20 years from now, someone will be asking what is the best way to pick up a passenger at The Villages International Airport.

Although it may not seem like it, everything you described is in Sumter County. So "the Fruitland Park thing" is the first return to Lake County for many years.

Thanks you beat me to it !

There isn't much that gets by the CHAMP !!!

Well, once TV reaches Disney World's boundaries, the developer may have to stop... And the Gulf and Ocean provide fairly firm boundaries. Other than that, I wouldn't bet my life savings on the ultimate boundaries...

Of course, if we reach and take over Kennedy Center, maybe he could start building in orbit!

I think there is no question TV will continue to expand where ever it can and I hope it does.

If there is any doubt, just look at the sales center in Brownwood.

That place wasn't built for a build out occurring in 1 1/2 years!

Walt Disney World could become one giant Villages Rec Center.

I think as long as this builder can find property to build on he will keep building. There are a lot of empty fields around here and he has very deep pockets. Why stop a good thing?

All the sales offices in TV were built with another purpose in mind when a sales office was no longer needed. The first sales office is now Hacienda recreation center. When the La Reina building opened in the early 2000's as a sales office, it was rumored that it would eventually become a hotel. Citizens Bank at Southern Trace opened as a sales office in 2000. The same will happen to the sales center in Brownwood.

Ummm. Could we have it on Sundays without the kids?

Have you been inside this sales office....it is not something that was built for a short period of time.

Can I ask why you would want it to continue to expand? What do you see getting better with more expansion?

The development I just moved out of had the builder pull out about a year and a half before we sold our house. The neighborhood had a home owners association that tried to maintain everything(I was on the board) like the builder did but we had no money and no clout to keep the neighborhood up as well as the builder and people started parking their motorhomes in their front yards, building junky looking sheds in their backyards, not maintaining their lawns and on and on. The builder gave up his exclusive building rights so new homes were being built in styles that didn't match the existing neighborhood. $200,000 homes with deeper setbacks were being built next to $1,000,000 homes ruining views that wouldn't have been ruined if the original developer had continued building.

So, I want the builder to keep building for all the things he does that most people are unaware of. He wants to sell more homes so he will keep everything up to snuff with rules in place and lawyers and money to defend them so new home buyers will think it is a great, safe, clean place to live that has rules that people follow that make the whole development a better place for everyone.

Maybe 10 years from now. In the meantime, I think it will be the sales center for all the new houses that will be built in Fruitland and south of CR-44

This Developer will continue to buy land and build as long as the land is reasonably priced. You can see that some properties were skipped and TV was built around them and my educated guess is that the land was priced too high. Any land contiguous to TV has the potential to become part of TV in the future if it can be purchased at a reasonable price.
