In my opinion.....take it for what its worth.....Concerning the Brownwood Leased lofts......I think the developer is attempting to capture some of the snowbird housing rental dollars.

and....In doing so may hurt Villagers who might depend on there snowbird rental income.

But, business is business..... and money is money....
only the strong survive

But again.....what do I know.....

I would rather this happen than have a neighbor run a boarding house.

There is a big difference in renting for a term of a year and renting for "the season". They do not compete.

On my street one of the villas is used as a rental. The owner lives in another state. The villa is rented for short terms. Like two weeks here a week there. Always different people. I don't like it at all.

I think the biggest impact this scheme will have is that we will have a cadre of new people complaining that they live on a town square but cannot find a decent restaurant.

The true low income complexes, like the ones near Rolling Acres run $700-900 and many still need assistance to live there.

I think I hear it will be more like 3 - 4K per month on an annual lease

Unless I have missed the article so far no mention of how many lofts, cost, or sf. There has been an interest for this type of housing for awhile. I would love to move my parents there when the lofts become available

annual meaning 12 months concurrently or annually meaning 3 months out of a year every year for a specific number of years?

$3-4 thousand seems awfully low, depending on whats included anyway, power/water and cable.....security and amenities?

interested to know the real answers anyway.....we shall see

I rent out a lot of places but none in The Villages. Annually always means a 12 month lease and my renters are always responsible for their own utilities.

I am surprised that our deed restrictions don’t have minimum rental restrictions of 3 months . Many communities do have such restrictions.
My prediction- - - the proposed apartments will lease quickly.

You can rent a nice home here annually for a lot less than that.

You can already rent very nice furnished homes here Jan - March for $3-4k per month which include all utilities and amenity fees. The rest of the year rates are less than that especially in summer.

I would prefer the Lofts of Brownwoid as condominiums. Ownership brings a sense of community.
