Village of Richmond.....anybody heard what type of homes will be going in there?
 

So any of you Villages sleuths have ideas on what type of home will be built in this new section? Judging from past villages it appears the developer tries to put some of every model home in the Village. Richmond will be close to Brownwood and I am sure will be very popular when it comes online. I'm wondering because of that if the developer will forgo the smaller cheaper models and opt for the designer homes and upper end courtyard villas?
I did see a recent video speculating about courtyard villas going into a small section of Richmond. If the video is accurate, it looks like they will be modeled after what they put in Chitty Chatty where are each home will but up against wetlands/nature area. Thoughts?????

They know which homes give them the biggest profit so what is now selling will be sold in new areas plus perhaps a new model or two.

Are you looking to buy?

Patio villas, Courtyard Villas, veranda homes, and designer homes are all slated to be built in Richmond. It will be the same mix as has been seen for the last 3 years.

My wife and I agree that Brownwood is a dump and I doubt it will make Richmond "very popular".

There is no natural beauty at Brownwood like there is at Lake Sumter. The builders ignored the three lakes around Brownwood and just built a bunch of stores.

We feel good walking around Lake Sumter, but not at Brownwood.

Brownwood is not a dump!

Brownwood is far from a dump. May people go to the squares for restaurants, shopping and music. Brownwood has 3 excellent restaurants BlueFin, Harvest and Prima.

Brownwood a dump, no. It is different than Sumter for sure but the Wild West was not built around pretty lake settings. We did not like Spanish Springs when we first came down but we love it now.

In Chitty Chatty the built Villas on a gross dirty swamp full of bugs and snakes but priced them as if you were on a lake on the golf course. Asked why they were so expensive and was told because of the view. I said pass. The Chitty Chatty Villas should not be $450,000 and up but rather in the $300,000 or under range.

Hopefully the newest section will have a nice mix but prices have gone up. My wife and I talk and if we did not buy 3 years ago, we are not sure we could now. Owning a second home would not be in the cards.

This is so great. One response to the original poster’s question was with a useless question, and this one bashes another village for being built within a nature preserve.

Richmond will have its own unique qualities just like every other village, including Chitty Chatty.

$$ expensive $$

I go to Brownwood once a week. It's a nice place to go.

Brownwood is too dry, IMHO. Spanish Springs has beautiful fountains and Lake Sumter has the lake. Even the lakes on the outskirts of Brownwood are below the viewing line primarily. They could add some water feature to Brownwood and it would make a big difference.

The focus of the square in Brownwood is the stage/entertainment as it should be. That water feature at SS takes up a quarter of the square. The bleachers at Brownwood along with the Bar shacks are the best design of the 3. As a whole you can't beat LSL

So what was the OP about again?????:ohdear:

My wife and I agree that you and your wife had bad taste and poor manners. My neighbor and his wife agree as does his cousin and his wife. My brother and his wife have no idea what Brownwood is, but think you are simple people that don't understand architectural themes.
