Do they get to set the selling price ? etc I thought I read somewhere anyone can buy in Middleton. It is simply removing the age restriction requirement. A good example is a grandparent as a custodian of a grandchild under 19 yrs old.

All good questions, and I’m sure many more questions will arise about Middleton. Will they have deed restrictions (my guess is yes), and if so, how will they read, and how will they differ from the other deeds restrictions within the other CDDs? Time will tell.

The Charter school system capacity is being nearly doubled with the new school additions to over 6000 students, the existing schools were at capacity (about 3400) with a wait list for openings, while attendance is going up this year as the backlog is being cleared out, it will not be near 5000 students. Yet.

One has to wonder, did the developer anticipate this growth avenue and plan for it, and if they have, is this a new market they are developing? With over 8,000 family homes planned for Middleton plus the family homes in Coleman Ridge, it does seem a possibility.

Here’s my understanding (and please correct me if I’m wrong) - Middleton is being built for the families of people who work within the confines of The Villages. It is not open to families where both parents work outside of The Villages.

We were there last Sunday and attended a couple open houses for sale. Both realtors told us anyone can purchase those homes whether they work in TV or not. But if they want their children to attend TV charter schools, they must work for TV.

But, the apartment buildings and Beaumont look to be nearly sold out. I don't get it! Do you think maintenance-free living is the reason? Prices of homes too high? Do they have to pay a bond in Middleton? No interest in frame house construction? Or, just my imagination?

It is not open to families where both parents work outside of The Villages. Though there are some decent paying jobs for workers within The Villages, I would guess most service-level workers within The Villages do not earn enough to qualify to secure and make the necessary mortgage payments to live in Middleton. Those earning minimum or slightly above minimum wage will probably need to continue to rent at apartments slightly outside the bubble.

I am sure the developer did a lot of research into who would be their “target” buyer within Middleton, and thus building homes they feel will sell to this audience, I was just thinking that Middleton will only offer housing to just a certain segment of the overall Villages workforce. Curious what is the size of that segment?
