I was just looking over the map of The Villages and unless I counted wrong there are 67 villages. Does any one know how many there will be when all are finished? Educated guess accepted.

67 is correct according the the Morse speech just published in the Sun. Also, I don't think anyone know for sure how many there will be when built out since the developer could change their minds by the currently planned build out and expand even further!

The following is not yet complete. But it does show some villages in District 9 - see p. 8.

My understanding is that the current plan for housing south of 466A will encompass Districts 9 and 10.
