The Villages

The Villages is a 55+ community in Florida. It is one of the largest over 55 communities in the United States. There are presently over 130,000 people in The Villages and it spans 3 counties in Florida, Lake, Sumter, and Marion and it is still growing.

There are single-family homes, villas, and Modular homes available with prices presently starting at a low of $145,000 for a 2 bedroom and 1 bath Manufactured home to a high of  $1,895,000 for a 4 bedroom and 3 bath home with a pool, on the Multiple Listing Service.

New homes are still being constructed and can only be purchased through the developer.  Resale homes are also available from the developer but, there are also resale homes listed by Realtors on the Multiple Listing Service that cannot be sold through the developer since their salespeople are not Realtors and do not use the Multiple Listing Service.  So, to see everything that is available, it is a good practice to use both a Villages Sales Person and an independent Realtor.

It has recreation, shopping, educational opportunities, and lots of GOLF.

GOLF:  The Villages has 12 Championship Golf and Country Clubs and more than 40 Executive Golf Courses (as of this writing)  As a Village resident, you’ll enjoy Free golf for the rest of your life on all of the executive golf courses.
