Lili Whittington sells in Lady Lake and The Villages every week, has sold more than 450 homes, and explains bonds, fees and community rules in plain English or Spanish.
Two Ways to Live in Lady Lake
- Inside The Villages. Original sections like Village of Del Mar and Orange Blossom Gardens near Spanish Springs, often at a better value per square foot than newer sections, with the bond, which may be paid down or off, and the amenity fee.
- Outside The Villages. Communities like Harbor Hills (a gated golf community), Water Oaks Country Club Estates, The Cascades and Green Key Village, each with its own fees and rules. Some have no bond and no age restriction.
We'll put the full monthly cost for each home in front of you, including insurance and taxes, so the comparison is fair.
