New homes in the Historic Area
We always look at the homes for sale in thevillages.com and I noticed two NEW homes for sale in the historic area across 441. They are 'cotttage homes' and they both look very nice.
On the website I had noticed there was a new series of homes called 'cottage homes' but I had never seen a new home that fit into that category. Now I have. |
They used to be called ranch homes
|
"NEW" ? built in 2018 or 2019? Link?
|
Cottage Home series dates back to at least 2010, probably earlier.

I know you know that bagboy, but that was for new people who don't know that. I think it is a good thing to do. I in NO WAY am saying that the area is shoddy or badly kept. It is a beautiful area, and the only reason I can think for replacing some of the older modular homes is their Hurricane resistance. We have dear friends who live in beautiful modular homes. Please know I did not mean my post unkindly.. |
Gracie,
Are you saying the BUILD a new home (foundation, block walls etc.) or they BRING IN a new modular home? Thanks from all of us who don't know / can't see from here... |

Thanks for that clarification. Seems like the NEW homes value would be pulled down by the OLD homes surrounding them until the balance is reestablished.
It is always best (when selling) to own the least expensive house in the neighborhood. The converse is also true. |

I think it's good also. Regardless of the type of home, many of the lots are scenic. I wonder though....if any of the homes replaced were moved to another location outside of The Villages and used as a home by someone? |
These homes are snapped up, usually before they're even on the market. Being next to a manufactured home certainly doesn't appear to be an issue. In fact, sometimes you're not sure if you're looking at a manufactured home or one of the new builds.

We have done many one year warranty inspections on new homes in the historic section.
I think what makes The Villages successful is the fact that they know that there are all sorts of people who come here....so they endeavor to have something for everyone. Folks in the Historic section tell me they like having a neighborhood with mature trees, bigger lots, the bond already paid, etc. They are close to the (for now) center of The Villages, close to the Hospital, shopping, etc. Some folks love the Northern section, some love Fenney, DeSoto, etc, some love being close to Brownwood, some love being close to the center of things. Some folks love their Patio Villas, some love their Premier homes. Many love in between. It's all good. I for one am glad we are all not carbon copies of each other. Frank D. |
The notion that because there are manufactured homes there is lessor value to the neighborhood.
That is not the case. Very mature landscaping, less traffic than a lot of the new areas along with all the other amenities of TV. Great opportunity for those who want to down size or just have a smaller second home in a very nice environment. |
But, but replacing historic relics from the past, with the new, is denying the future for all generations to come..We must realize that, by covering up our history, we are bound to report it, and repeat it....
