Most exclusive areas of The Villages
 

Greetings everyone-

My wife and I are interested in seeing how the other half
live here in The Villages and seeking opinions of which areas are
considered the most exclusive and/or the most "expensive" areas.

Thanks for your advice.

Some homes may cost more than others, but wonderfully there is no "other half". Everyone has the exact same lovely life style. At the squares, a retired cab driver will enjoy a conversation with the retired CEO of a large corporation but their backgrounds will never be discussed, nor do they matter.

That is one of the things I love, love, love, about this wonderful place.

There are some pretty homes on large lots in Harmeswood that is a treat to drive around. It is north of 466 off Buena Vista.

Look at TV website, search new & used homes, select Premier homes.


This will get you to the higher dollar neighborhoods.
(most of them, not all)


The farther South, more likely newer homes.



Fun to drive thru............be sure to wave.

Harmeswood is where the Morse family lived before the bought the property off of 466.

Also Bridgeport Lake Miona and Bridgeport Laurel Valley are very upscale.

You can go onto the The Villages website and search homes. Generally Premier homes are located in Premier neighborhoods. So do a search for Premier homes.

Lakeridge Drive in Pennecamp and Conservation Rd in Pine Hills

I would go to the Morse family compound knock on the door and ask for a tour.

Let us know how it turns out.

When you visited did you not like how Some were living? Was it the homes? The people you met?
We have hosted many a gathering, with as many as 50 people. Rarely does anyone ask how much did your home cost, or their net worth.
Usually it’s where did you live before TV

North of 466- Harmeswood. South of 466A- The Preserve.

I find the OP's question odd. Just driving around with one's eyes open is all it takes. Or getting on Zillow and the TV websites and checking out the most expensive listings will tell the tale. Is a consensus being sought? or what? What is meant by "the other half", above the median or average price point?

Not a big deal, a newbie is jus asking for direction.

Surely, you have heard the expression — “how the other half lives”. It’s just a saying that has been around forever — means different from your own.

I don’t think the OP was saying that only the Village of Hoity or the Village of Toity would be acceptable to them. Just being curious about the range of real estate here.

(Yeah, I know, now you are going to say, “I am serious and don’t call me Shirley.” :) )

There is a small community of homes on and adjacent to Lake Sumter and near LSL that has a private gate. Probably the most exclusive near or at the top in cost. I think they sold for over a million.
Village of Bridgeport also exclusive with homes over $500k.

Least exclusive The Lofts at Brownwood apartment multi family rentals. Costly but shabby. Or wait for The Tenements of Hacienda Hills multifamily apartment rentals to be completed which might be a new low.

If you buy a view home make sure the view part on the contract isn’t written in disappearing ink.

Lol. tell them your surveying their compound where the apartments will go.
