What exactly would the Developer be selling, since every last property is owned by a person who is NOT the Developer? And, it is not a trailer park. It is a residential development consisting mostly of Manufactured homes which is very common in Florida. There is very much a pride of ownership vibe in the area, I can't tell if this is a troll post or simply an ignorant one.

I've heard rumors that some people make up rumors because they're upset about a lack in their own lives, and need to create problems that don't exist, so they don't feel quite as miserable about themselves.

Just something I've heard, so maybe you've heard some of those made-up rumors and think they might be true.

Meanwhile, there aren't dilapidated trailers in the Historic section. The Developer can't tear down our area, because the Developer doesn't own our area. The original trailer park was luxurious, even when it was a trailer park. It's even more luxurious now, and is a community of mixed homes, from manufactured homes, modular homes, wood frame homes, and block and stucco homes.

You should tell whoever you heard that rumor from that they're not only wrong, but they're lying, and probably need to eat more fiber.

Regarding the "kissing lanais" reference - feel free to run a search right here on the Talk of the Village forum for the phrase, and you'll get lots and lots of posts from people who have either bought in those neighborhoods, or considered them, or asked about them and were given lots of answers from long-time members, or seen them, or yes - heard about them from their hairdresser.

They're definitely a thing, they're not new, they are absolutely a downside in some areas where the developer made the decision to place the back wall of houses incredibly close to the back wall of other houses, with lanais in incredibly close proximity to each other.

My exaggeration and imaginative verbiage doesn't change the fact that they exist, and they can be problematic for people who enjoy peace and quiet on their lanais, in areas where lanais are placed incredibly close to each other.

“Kissing lanais” are one reason you may want to know your neighbors before you buy. My aunt like them because she was good friends with her neighbors. As they grew old, one call would get the other out to help. (Yes, she could have used the phone.) She liked it when her neighbors were home, she liked to hear their voices, they were her friends. I understand that not everyone is like that.

It's great, til one of them relocates. To be with other family, to downsize, to upsize, to a nursing home, etc. etc. And then they get stuck with the droopy-boobed lady and her stogie-smoking husband.

But - people like courtyard villas so they don't have to deal with their neighbors. I originally wanted the same kind of privacy til I stayed in one and saw how claustrophobic it is. Very glad I'm where I am now. Space between neighbors, but close enough we can socialize without even leaving our own property.

Here is your immediate answer the Villages and going to spend millions of dollar building a new recreation center across from the main post office in the Historical Villages. There are several homes listed by the Villages Realtors. You can download the Villages website on your phone and can look at properties for sale there. There are 3 villages on this area. They are Orange Blossom, Silver Lake, and Country Club Hills,my favorite. If you need more information send me a private message and I will be glad to help you or show you the properties on my phone if you are unable to download the Villages site.

There is zero need to download anything.

Anyone can access the Villages Homefinder, which is a website, not an app. Here's the URL:
Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale

Anyone can also access any of the Multiple Listing Service websites, such as realtor.com and zillow.com

There's no reason or need to send a private message to a stranger through an internet forum, to find homes available for sale in The Villages.

OP, the so called historical area of TV will not only survive but will thrive just as it has in the past. It’s different from most manufacture home communities in Florida in that residents not only own their home but also own the lot the home sits on.
