Village Homes
 

A question for the general group. My wife and I a very sure we want to move to The Villages, sometime in the next 4 years, but for now, with elderly parents still to take care of, a permanent move is out of the question. The question is, If I purchase a manufactured home on a lot in Orange Blossom, or Silver Lake and decide 4 years down the road it needs replacing, can I put in a new one, or are there strict rules on what can be put in. Can I put up a stick built, or does it need to be a double wide trailer ? As we only live 60 miles away weekends in a single wide would be fine, but when we move here I think we want something larger.
Thank You

In the Historic section (East of 441)you can buy a single wide trailer on a 4K - 5K SF lot or so for around $75K or so and (after obtaining permits and approvals) put in a new home that blends in with the area. Happens all the time - drive around the area and you'll see newer type homes next to the original ones.

A double wide manufactured home of about 1200 SF might run around, a guess - $75K installed. So for around $150K you get a new home with 30 yr old trees right across the golf cart bridge from Spanish Springs.

Or you can buy a patio villa south of 466 in the $150,000 range.
