Great, why does that upset people? So if you don’t want to visit those new areas stay where you are. It simply means more opportunities for those who own and live here. If you don’t like the sprawl, feel free to move. Each area has its own character and specialty, some areas are bustling with lots of retail, some are more directed towards recreational use, and some are quiet residential areas, no one forces anyone to go beyond what you enjoy. I don’t understand why people are so afraid of growth. Good for the Morse family for continuing to design and add to The Villages.

Because some people just want to complain and some just hate The Villages and some hate the success of owners.


The information the OP state is nothing new.

I don’t care as long as The Villages remains as beautiful, pleasant, and relaxed as it is now. If it were to become as crowded and crime- ridden as those other cities, I would be very unhappy. This is The Good Place. I love it.

Growth will stop probably when no more land is available. The Villages concept is a winner and more want to become a part of it. Unless uncle Joe sinks the ship it will continue.

Hey! Those people 30 miles away are having fun, this cannot stand!

I live around Spanish Springs and adding thousands of more homes on the other side of the turnpike has really bumped up the cart traffic. Heck, around Christmas I has to wait an extra 2-3 seconds one day just to get on the Multi-modal path. When will the madness end! Oh, wait, the bridge wasn't open yet then. Nevermind.

Fake News.

No. The original promise was to stop at 466A! And that we would have a real hospital in that area. And on and on...

Apparently a lot of people feel TV is a good place!

No surprise there. It’s a great time to buy in The Villages!

Where did you read this?

No money in squares only expenses...just homes... $$$$

Who you asking??


:shrug:

Villages is a corporation..either love it or leave it.. live your life or move on..

They won't stop until the Villages reaches Orlando !!!

Where exactly did you get your info from.

Orange County has 1.4 million people, Sumter 136,000. Orange growth rate is 0.83%/sumter 2.36%. Quick rounding off of Sumter having a 2.00% greater increase would require at least 35 years steady growth rate by both areas for Sumter to eclipse Orange. That’s quite a bit of speculation.

So your real question is, why doesn’t the federal government restrict private people/companies from making a profit. I bet you would be happy in Venezuela or Russia or another socialist country. Give it a try.

This is land area, not population, that is why "Jacksonville" is number one. Miami has far more people.

The more the merrier
 

As one of the entertainers here in the Villages my duo "In Motion" welcomes the chance to have more opportunities to entertain a larger audience.

If the Villages can provide equal services to all it will be fun to see how it grows.

Read today's Daily Sun, you are getting a real hospital on 466A.

So you're saying there is no profit for them from the rental income from all of the retail stores and restaurants on the squares?? What exactly are the expenses for the developer within the squares??

If TV does not develop adjacent properties to it's current development(s)........some other not so conscientious/responsible developer(s) WILL!!!!!

I’m moved here from Tampa. I hope to one day move back but still live in the Villages!

That can’t possibly be true! When we bought in 2011 and they were preparing to start construction below 466A, we were told that that “final build out will be completed in 2015”! LIES. ALL LIES.

The Villages will be down to Tampa in no time.

Effect Of Impact Fee Increase!
 

If all these expansion plans were already on the drawing board, why did all the developer’s friends and business partners and the local newspaper continue to tell us that raising impact fees will slow down growth?

yes, yes yes & Thank You!!!

The lifestyle is exactly the same for all residents of The Villages. All residents have equal access to all amenities, all medical facilities, all churches, all restaurants, etc. Our houses are located in different places, that's all.

My only concern is water. Where are they going to get more of this nonrenewable resource? If you follow the population, they will not be able to maintain the age restriction because the swell of baby boomers will pass and there will not be enough people coming up that can buy here.

Facts!
 

Finally!! Someone who knows the FACTS about why the expansion started. We learned this in a meeting with the developers as well. Bravo.

We just purchased a home in Sabal Chase and are very excited to hear that The Villages will be growing. We have seen government "controlled growth" in the north and are very pleased to be a part of this community. Growth is coming to this region. You can see numerous poorly built apartment complexes and other housing developments going up for miles in every direction around the Villages. While I am sure they will not build things to my personal specifications, I have far more confidence in the Villages than anything else I have seen. Remember, there were some in Congress who voted against the Louisiana Purchase! Glad to be a resident of The Villages.

As long as they keep building they will keep up all the area. Build baby build.

Geographic Center???
 

Who cares where the geographic center of TV is??? I live near Spanish Springs and have almost everything I need within 3 miles of my house. The new villages south of 466A are like another world and do not affect my life or lifestyle. As stated by a member of the swamp, What difference does it make?.

Villages Growth
 

That’s all right, you guys stay north of 44, we will handle it down here. No problem.

That map doesn’t include undeveloped land that is currently owned by TV. Look at the map on TV website and you can see how far south they plan to build. Wouldn’t be surprised if more land purchases are in the works.

Country clubs require land. Why waste land on golf courses when you can build, build build, build, build more houses. The dream of The Villages, envisioned by Harold Schwartz, and his son is dead. It’s all about the bucks now and you don’t matter.

i strangely refuse to worry about what might be. We have choices. I was a bit surprised to hear from a friend, a business acquaintance perhaps, he and his brother bought 140 acres in the woods of North Carolina. Far as I know he has a house that he is living in with his wife. Far as I know he is not one of the survivalist people buying freeze dried food. Another friend bought a home in Vermont on a short sale and is fixing it up.
The world is our oyster. If, we think, are sure there is a better choice than here you owe it to yourself to do it.

The expansion of the Villages is a plus and a minus. Crowded roads etc. The plus in my view, the Morrises are investing and planning on continuing to run this place. Read the posts on any of these threads. Imagine if the inmates were running this place.

Swearing under oath? What does that matter today? People have and continue to lie under oath. You misunderstood what I said. At the time, I thought-things have changed.

Whoever owns that land, like it or not has made money on their land.

Visit the new Villages Home Design building in Brownwood and you might want to change your opinion on the Center of the Villages location.

As long as they make money hand over fist they will continue to expand. Still lots of land they can purchase.

Yeah. Those nasty people who want to make money just make me sick. What kind of country do they think we live in?!? You can bet Harold didn't care about money!!
