Today 3 of the 11 sites have now converted to precast, one still producing block, the rest just plain old pour.

The retired sons still believe block is an art and a better build. Grandsons believe precast is the way to go. None have cast onsite for tilt, due to amount of space. It’s a heated discussion at every family event, although the sons are now late eighties, grands will eventually win.

Just looking at new homes, prices, and lots. It seems middleton is a much better value?

You can still golf at the championship courses and visit all the town centers. You have pools and parks.

So what is the negative?

I need a fence and Middleton allows them, looking for any advice.

Where are these properties advertised? I don't see Middleton on the app.

Watch the new build construction carefully. Price reductions are given once the developer moves on to a new area. In Lake Denham and Dabney over 250 homes saw price reductions. Many of the homes had fences. Most likely, there will be discounted homes in the Eastport area.

And if you live in Lake, Sumter, or Marion counties you can't get a guest ID card unless you are a child or grandchild of a Villages resident. I don't think living in Middleton provides any access to the executive courses. If it does, the courses will really be crowded next winter!

At least one person in each house in Middleton must work for TV, so if you are retired, forget about moving there.

That is not true. You must work for TV or TV related business ONLY if you want you kids to go to the Charter School.
