Default The Villages web site way back in 1996

This was one of my first posting to this site way back in January of 2015. It still might be of interest to some of you.

>>> It’s fun to reflect on the way it was to help formulate a picture of what the future might look like. I love to use the internet WayBack machine for that purpose.

1996
The Villages

2002

A Florida Retirement Community - The Villages - Retire in Florida

2006

Welcome to The Villages - The retirement lifestyle you've been dreaming about


In my second posting on this topic

>>> Unfortunately, only a few pages of each web site for a particular date are stored when saved in the snapshot and most databases are excluded because of space issues. My interest was in looking at all of the changes that have taken place in the Designer Holly builds. I love the Bridgeport and Boxwood designs but talked myself into the less expensive Holly which is very similar and fine for us.

I did notice that I can see some information on asking prices starting in 2012 as the open house page is saved.

In 2009 they would offer a FREE Market Analysis of your house

The Villages - Homes - What's the Market Value of Your Home

and in 2010 special Home closeouts

Love the history of things!
