My overall concern is the continued availability of affordable housing options in TV. Also, as others have said, I don't see how it makes good financial sense to spend $100K to buy a property and another $100K (guesstimate) to build a new home that would need to be sold for $250K. Don't buyers who want new homes also want to be in new neighborhoods? There's a lot of talk here about those being younger and more welcoming. I just don't understand the economics of it. I also don't believe the Morse family would deliberately set out to lose money "revitalizing" the historic section out of sense of nostalgia. |

Up until now there were options to buy here ranging from about 60k to over a million. Now the entry level is more expensive. That is just what happens and it is happening everywhere. It is adding value to the homes of the people who had the foresight to buy here.

Perhaps they fear the task of becoming integrated or they feel the established residents will see them as interlopers. I offer that explanation as those were feelings my sister expressed when she recently took ownership of her home in a S.C. reitrement community. Fact is, our historic side is rapidly becoming more like 'the legacy side'. Longer term residents are passing away, moving back to be near children who will care for them, or moving to assisted living facilities. Their homes are being transferred to their children/relatives who are younger in age and/or are being purchased for the reasons posted in this thread by recent new arrivals. The historic/legacy side has but one future other villages do not necessarily have - our residents will be getting younger rather than older.

surely something to watch and keep an eye on.......the historic side has a lot of character and it is a shame that some of the homes have fallen into disrepair.....kudos to the developer to buy and renew in the area....it will help property values and that is a good thing for all the current residents.

We bought our home on the historic side in November an d are working to upgrade it ,We love this side and would not consider any other place even thought we could afford a newer home this is what fits our life now .The historical side has such character .As an owner on this side I wel
come updates but don't want to loses what we have here by putting in homes that are over sided and look out of place. Any up grades to the area will only enhance my homes value. |

You are all wrong , The developer is in the process buying between 30 and 70 homes on the east side. The homes are going to different locations in Florida. They are being replaced by stick build houses. Confirmed by Lady Lake building department and those who are removing them.

A trailer is a camper. Some people chose, or were forced to live in them. You can still buy them and see them everywhere around here. They are a completely different animal than a manufactured home.

The Villages on-line news is currently reporting that 30 manufactured homes will be replaced with site-built homes which will sell "at a much higher price". Read all about it on their website, complete with photos.

I'm not sure that one is being replaced. I rode by it today and it looked like they were adding some shrubs. But, I could be wrong.

If someone owns a manufactured home in the middle of stickbuilt homes, will the value of the manufactured home go up? Or vice versa. If someone owns a stick built home in the middle of manufactured homes, what does it do to the value of the stick built home?
