Personally, I think we are in the final stages of development of "The Villages". But I also believe that various members of the family will continue to develop and manage the much needed commercial development to serve TV as well as other development in the area not associated with TV.

I also believe that some residential and mixed use development is in the future for various family members. It's well known that Mark Morse owns significant property nearby TV, some alone and some with friends and other family members. And take a look at a project called Wildwood Springs on the internet. That's a large mixed use development which will be developed immediately south of TV. The plans are online and the signs are on the property. The partnership listed as the developer says that it is doing at the "front end" work to prepare for construction and sales. The actual partners have had business relationships with both family members and TV for years. Word from good sources is that Jennifer Parr and some partners will be the developer of that large project.

That is so good to hear. All of those workers will not become unemployed. You are always a reliable source and don't post enough if you ask me.

Yep. Final phase.

Until the next phase of course.

I was also surprised it said it was the final phase because the district maps show the village of Pine Hills, just below Pine Ridge.

I don't care how big it gets as long as the amenities and infrastructure are built along with it to keep up with the residential growth. So far I think it has.

The area that Maybe was referring to, is the Morse's compound, as stated before.

Another rumor I heard, (I believe it is a rumor without any foundation), is the polo fields are to be moved and houses are to be built on that tract of land.

I seriously doubt it, but who's to say. No one knows what the developer is going to do and everything on TOTV is pure speculation. We have never known and that will stay the same. IMHO

Yes this is very interesting!

The website is

Wildwood Springs - Home

Also interesting is this site

Wildwood Springs Community Development District | Established September 13, 2011

This site shows the CDD office address as being in Celebration FL. Does anyone know if this the land that has been owned by Celebration Development for many years. Had always heard that Celebration would not start until The Villages was complete. Had recently heard that The Villages marketing team would be marketing the Celebration development.

I first read about the Celebration development owned land back in around 2005. Doing a reverse phone number of the number on the above site it is listed as Moyer Management Group. Moyer website is

Moyer Management Group | Managing Districts since 1976

It is hard to see on the map where this is located does anyone know for sure the location.

Interesting that an "expert" (MLS realtor) would say that. S/he should know that at 640 acres per square mile, that would translate to 50 sq. miles of land. By my (VERY rough) calculations, the present villages coverage is approximating that now. Double in size overnight?????

Interesting advertising they are doing on their website Community - Wildwood Springs

"Many fine dining, retail, and entertainment options exist throughout the county in a variety of settings ranging from Wildwood's cozy historic downtown to the urban delights of The Villages' Town Centers." So intention is to entice people to purchase based on nearnest of the Village Town Squares and their amenities?

Smart marketing.

You know the multi-use-paths (golf cart trails) could easily be turned into light rails! Then we could safely and efficiently reach all areas of The Villages and not have to worry about size.

I don't understand any of the posts worrying about 'the final buildout', frankly I couldn't care less. why should I? really why? should I worry that 'they' will build more facilities and improve my life even more than 'they' have? oh shudders...frightening!

For all to see ->

Just trying to save this page for a reference to look at in the future!

I'm hoping that in another 5 years or so I can drive my golf cart to Disney!!
