In the real world, having a detention or retention basin abutting your yard, is more likely to get you a discounted price, rather than a premium price.

To each his own.

You really don't know what you are talking about. Homes in Florida and yes, The Villages also that have open space that may include water views sell at a higher price than that that don't have this privacy. I will hand it to you, you started a pretty good "clickbait" post.

your correct about homes and him .I owned and lived in 14 homes all but one of them new and a couple of condos ocean front all over florida , privacy no matter if it’s a retention pond , pond or just trees ,always cost more and always sells for more and faster when you want to move

There's a big giant world out there, beyond Florida and in much of it, living on a drainage basin is not considered "premium", it's the opposite.

It's nice to here from someone that has had the experience of living on a drainage ditch. But here the flood control retention ponds are considered gold and their intended duty to prevent flooding, provide irrigation water, and a home for wildlife works very well. I doubt that anyone living on one of these ponds would consider them a drainage ditch, only those who have not experienced The Villages water front living would do so and most likely enjoy their kissing lanais.

150 out of 70,000 homes overall does not seem to be a lot.
