If you had to I'll bet you could survive having a Carport instead of a Garage. If you need your stuff and have the money to have many garages then I'm happy for you. I really am. I'll bet you that the Carport Homes down South sell like Hotcakes.

those are $150-$200K for just the lots, to say people will buy anything is implying they are stupid.

Can't be that stupid if you can shell out or invest $500-600K in lot/home

Last group of premium lots released were sold by noon same day with backup buyers.

Love the wet lands :coolsmiley:

There's a covered storage shed area beside the carport and a laundry room.

Carports? Wow! You need steel cables to tie them down for the high winds we get. My sister has one in Volusia and my Dad had one when he was living there too. Aside from that, I wouldn't want to live in a place called "Chitty Chatty." Who names these? Good Grief! (Ron not Judy):1rotfl:

Criminal what they are charging for water lots in Chitty Chatty. We paid 30K for a nice water lot just south of 466.

The last Premier section was The Preserve. When it opened there was a fair amount of lots sold, however it took almost 2 years to "sell out"

Has anyone noticed how many pre-owned houses are on the market in The Villages? There were 54 pages worth in the Saturday insert. I find it very strange. What is going on?

We walked through Chitty Chatty today and found several new Patio Villas (I think) with carports instead of garages.

We were surprised because we have never seen a new home in TV with a carport. However, it makes a lot of sense to me because we had a 1-car carport in Virginia and it was fine.

Chitty Chatty is interesting because the lots are very different. Some are great but others were not. In some cases, there would be a LOT of space between houses. It made it interesting to look at the houses and critique them.

The walking/biking path around the large lake is very, very nice. We thought it was smart to have the MMP follow the power lines so the carts would not be speeding close to the homes.

We followed the MMP north until we got a very good view of the place where the new bridge will cross Route 44 and it looked pretty crazy. The new bridge will be high, and when the MMP comes downhill from the bridge it will take a sharp left turn, which could be dangerous.

This is the fourth time we have walked through C-C and it looks better each time.

Only if priced right. Carports will let Developer maximize profits. C-C way over priced. The bubble is coming.

Carports? Why not go 360 and start offering manufactured homes? There is definitely still a market here as the Historic section is still a popular place to live.
