The 'New Villages' ??
 

Barbados! They look a lot like nissen huts to me, but nissen huts in Barbados may not be a bad thing.

Barbados! And no sign of any Morses.

beautiful island and one of my fav .... but this development is literally right next to the international airport!! ... no thanks.

I wonder if they have a problem with dogs pooping in the yards.:icon_wink:

Not so fast, JBlum....thought this rang a bell. Here's an old TOTV thread referencing an article in Leesburg paper where Morse's had a venture in Barbados. Looking at the website, terminology (the square) is familiar.

This could well be The Villages, Caribbean style.

The development in this thread and the Morse one in the article are on opposite ends of the island

The island of Barbados measures 21 miles by 14 miles... is it that much bigger than The Villages that Gary Morse couldn't work on two projects on opposite ends of the island? The Villages at Coverley website shows similarities to The Villages in Florida. The Town Square with a large Sales Office... Restaurants and shops around the square... The Farmers Market... The Health System... the water retention system. From the website it looks like it could very well be a smaller version of TV.

Mr. Morse is good friends with "Cow" Williams who basically controls most of the building on Barbados. Cow's polo team comes to The Villages annually to compete. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they teamed up doing something in Barbados.

This new development in Barbados looks a lot like our Villages, except it appears to be family friendly. Wishing this new community the best of luck.

You have to fly in.

Does that mean everyone's a snowbird?

If you are a smart rich developer anyplace in the world, you could become very very rich following the business model here.

Someone called the number listed and they answered by saying "It's another beautiful day in The Villages."

Looks like it's too kid friendly for me.

An RV park sized home for 300k+ ......... don't think so..............:popcorn:

New villages?
 

There is also a "villages" in the Canal Du Midi region of southern France. This is almost beautiful area. The marketing for this statement in the British Press, last year. One of the developers had something to do with TheVillages before this one!! There will also be an exclusive Rainbow village, also in the Canal Du Midi area.
Seems to be spreading far and wide!! :) :)
