The squares will be shut down and turned into apartments Entertainment in the squares will stop if people own apartments in the squares because they will complain about the noise As soon as a country club gets run down it will be turned into apartments (like Lopez. Oh wait... that was completely refurbished and is now a beautiful restaurant) There are many more. All speculation with no basis in fact. Yes... we keep hearing it over and over again. I will say, at least you are fighting a fight where they have declared they want to build apartments at HHCC. The statements above are just stirring the pot. |

I agree many will not pay attention until the apartments break ground. Then it will be slow torture as the surrounding residents watch as the monstrosity slowly rises above the tree line then blocks the sun. Plus the construction noise, truck traffic etc it won’t be pretty. Suggested name The Tenements of Hacienda Hills.

I think it'll be somewhat less than 200 units total in this specific location. But hey let's call it 200 exactly. There's no reason each unit has to be 1200 square feet on average. They could have a couple of 3-bedrooms at 1500 SF on the top floor, with a few 1300 2/2 with a bonus den. Then on the next floor, mostly 900sf 1/1 and 2/1.5. And the first floor could be mostly 1000sf 1/1.5 and 2/1.5. There's also no reason why it would have to be 4 or 5 floors. In fact - if you account for a minimum of 8 foot ceilings plus at least a foot between each floor for ductwork, wiring, and soundproofing, there's no way 50 feet tall can possibly equal 4 floors of living space. The math just doesn't work. It would have to be 3 floors.
OR...if it's not going to be just one building (remember we still have no idea what it's going to look like) - it could be a couple of 3-floor apartment buildings one one end, and a circle of 2-storey villas similar to the ones in Spanish Springs surrounding the pool, with another couple of rows of 2-floor villas behind that on the other end. And walking trails going all throughout the whole thing, with a golf cart path leading to the rec building and outdoor activities center. You could get 200 units total that way, and still have it look nice. I STILL think it's too many units, and I STILL think it'll be too much of a traffic nightmare. But I don't think its appearance is going to be a problem. You can support the developer or loathe them - but you have to admit they produce good looking properties. |

Margin Trumps Revenue every time. But, the bottom line is that what is being done at HH is simply not the right thing to do! People, fellow Villagers, that I feel very sorry for, were sold a supposedly dream home. Now they are getting a not anticipated nightmare experience jammed down their throats. I don’t care how one tries to justify it, it’s the wrong thing to do!

The reality is, it will probably look no different than the multiple Assisted and Independent living units that are everywhere throughout The Villages. So why is everyone getting so riled up? It will be same in principle as those, that so many live near now...and it will give people in the North end of the villages an opportunity for apartment living if needed, like down in Brownwood. Instead of thinking it’s a negative, think they are giving people that option if it becomes too much to manage a house and yard vs expensive Independent living facilities.

Check out the new apartment complex on 466 in Lady Lake to get
a non arithmetical estimate of building height & density. Thought I saw an ad for this place highlighting its proximity to Villages amenities |

They just have to wait for the sink hole.

You might wish to check out current home prices. A high end home on a one acre lot would go for more like $1 million each, not $500k which is now just average.
