I spoke with someone in The Villages planning office. He said that their goal is to replace 250 manufactured homes with cottage homes this year.

And that's just this year.

Some of the appeal of the historic district to me is the variety of houses styles and colors and landscaping. It makes me a little sad to think of the whole place being turned into blocks and blocks of beige sameness. But that's just nostalgia on my part. The buyers snapping up the new builds are, I'm sure, delighted with their lovely and well-built homes.

Still thrilled with our manufactured home on the historic side. (It still makes me laugh to say "historic", but when I tell people I live in the Village of Country Club Hills, most have never heard of it.). The mature landscaping and the variety of the homes is pleasing to my eyes. We travel all over The Villages in our activities -or just exploring, but crossing that golf cart bridge feels like coming home. There is a home for almost everyone in TV, and I really hope the lower end of the market doesn't disappear.

I think that you'll still see a variance of colors and styles in the future. Other developers are buying up some of the homes and putting block and stucco homes in. Also owners are replacing their manufactured homes with either newer manufactured homes or site built that don't look like The Villages' homes. A brand new manufactured home just went in around the corner from me.

And as DigitalGranny points out, many people are very happy with what they have an won't be selling anytime soon.

As this revitalization continues over the years, I would guess that the homes that The Villages builds here might vary as well.

My spouse and I bought one of the new homes John Porta built over on the historic side.
It is a nice CB home. He has Two already built that are for sale now.
