Buying a home in The Villages? | Discover the Patio Villa |Wow have prices changed

- Buying a home in The Villages can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. With so many models to choose from how do you pick? Your budget is the first item that comes to mind.
If you are on a budget I have the answer, the Patio Villa. Many Village residents start in a Patio Villa before moving on to a Designer Series home. They either sell the home or use it as a rental property.
The Patio Villa is a great opportunity to begin to live the Village active lifestyle and not break the bank doing so.
There are many styles of Patio Villa to choose from starting in the $160,000's (not sure how many of those really exist :) but that is what the website says.
Patio Villas are available to purchase as New Construction and there are many newer and older resales on the market.
In this episode, I have taken a tour of 4 Patio Villas. New and resale.
Have questions? Please leave them in the comments below and I will get you answers.

Hi Robyn. We watch all of your videos and love them. Please post more videos involving - anything about The Villages, PS love your hair!!!
Carly Caz i’m glad you enjoyed the videos wait to you see my next one it’s all about golfing in The Villages you’re gonna love it
Very helpful. Now I’m able to understand there are patio villas and courtyard villas and what the difference is. Glad that you point out where HVAC is in the home and when it’s in the garage. I remembered that the noise inside the house is a pet peeve for me and to think about that now.
Glad it was helpful!
Just else rated our 16th anniversary of living in the Villages...best place ever to retire....NO complaints. Continues to impress
I am glad you are talking about Bond , older homes, the age of home , etcccc. I am thankful , you are showing videos .
It's very important for people to hear that. It's better to have to much information and not enough !!!
So many decision to figure out , which kind of home you want to pick from . I would never want a laundry room in the kitchen .
Thanks for watching
I like PRICES on homes for buyers. Really nice to know.
That video is 3 years old ;(
Great job Robyn. Loved the home tours. If I may make ONE small suggestion ... when showing the inside, stop moving for a few seconds to let our brains catch up to the motion. Some of us are a little motion sensitive. Perhaps hold a shot for 3 to 5 seconds when you enter a bedroom. Again just a suggestion. Don't stop doing your videos. You are really doing GREAT. Thanks.
That LVC Guy I appreciate the feedback :). Constructive advice will make the videos more viewer friendly. Thanks for watching.
I agree, she does an excellent job and I really think she is going to be a fast up-and-comer but she still has some kinks to work out. I got a little motion sick too. Glad she is taking constructive criticism from us. That is a sign of a good RUclips creator. 👍😃👍
Great video! Thank you for showing us all of these homes! My husband and I plan on doing a lifestyle visit in 2021, we are both 54 yrs old, so it is nice to hear from you that the 50’s are a good time to move to The Villages. Enjoying your RUclips channel, keep up the great work!
About a half step up from a mobile home - wire shelving - vinyl crap floors and plastic showers -
Really enjoyed seeing the homes in this video. I live in Jacksonville and you are right, the sky never gets old.
LOve the gas stove and soaker tub Robyn !! Monna
Thanks!
no offense but for the pries they are charging the finishes are crap. Formica, cheap tub enclosures, older style interior doors compared to what new builders are using, vinyl flooring, low baseboards, basic cheap kitchen cabinets, I could go on. I just think they are giving you the minimum good which makes me wonder what else they cheapen on. They are nice but pricey for quality, Maybe wait another year or sooner, I think this economy is gonna bomb anyway.
You are not offending me. The prices of homes are more expensive than you can find in the surrounding areas. New homes are always pricey, you can find a deal on an existing home. I believe the demographic of The Villages is changing. The residents are not just retired but many are like me, in their 50's, working full-time are looking for a maintenance-free, active lifestyle.
John 💯 agree.
Also the freestanding ranges. Those are low end and have noticed them in many houses in varying price ranges. So strange! Love the video! Now I know a price range😅
i would like to have my house with windows in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Great video! We are playing on moving to The Villages in a few years and this information was really helpful!
Good to hear :)😎😎😎
Have rented in The Villages 4 different times , once in a Patio Villa. Did not like the Bed Rm arrangement. Not private enough. The 2 Br 2Ba split floor plan ranch is better. Over all I would never buy there because of all the extra fees. Just as nice in Stongate or DelWeb . More space between properties and like the home designs better.
Thanks for sharing! I agree you can get much more for your money outside of The Villages.
Good job with the camera, made me feel like I was walking thru the home myself...
Thank you. 😎😎
@@badugiboybimmer9232 My goal is to move to The Villages in a few years. 99% of the Villagers I have met in the past few years are friendly and hospitable people.
Moonstone my favorite !
I thought you would give the price for each villa! I have no idea of the cost and was very much looking forward to hearing some numbers! I enjoyed the tour of the homes.
Click on the episode title and you will see the address and price. This video was made several months ago those homes are probably no longer in the market
Love our Florida sky too!
We were thinking we would like the Courtyard Villas but now we like the Patio Villas. The layout is much better.
I recently videoed a courtyard villa I’m using as a promo piece for my real estate videography business. It is a beautiful home I will make it public in a couple of hours so you can take a look at it and decide.
Just posted a Courtyard Villa. Let me know what you think
Great first video showing homes. You are doing a great job. As a fellow RUclips creator I will say that you are starting to grow real fast compared to the average creator due to you focusing on, and around, The villages. You are starting to get noticed. Your creative instincts are very good, you just have to hone your skills as you go along and build up your equipment and experience. The biggest challenge of growing so quick is you will probably get trolls quicker than the average creator, which can be hard to take at first and be potentially very discouraging. Network with fellow creators in the area and see how they handle it. Some creators love to debate the trolls, most creators just realize the trolls are just trying to bait you so they simply ignore them and remove the trolling comment after they thank the person for taking the time out of their busy day to leave THEIR comment. You will find your own way of doing things. Just don't give up, and remember to HAVE FUN. You can always stop for a few weeks to take a breather if it gets too much for you, then come back fresh. Your channel, your choices, your life ... not the troll's. Remember that. As I say as MY tag line after every video ... "And as always, Have a GREAT Day". 👍😃👍
Thanks Robyn, This is the style home I am looking for. This is very helpful!
Love 💕 the ending with the cocktail 🍸 maker
Hi Robyn, I came across your video and the area is beautiful. I will be retiring at the end of this year and I am looking for my retirement home. Thanks for the info
Thank you for watching
@3:42: "a very large island, you could comfortably seat 4 to 6 people." Haha! Maybe if those 4 to 6 people are undersized kindergartners. LOL!
Robyn, are you a Floridian or did you migrate to Florida? Some comments below speak to the quality of the homes in the Villages. There are many controlled "Gated" communities near the Villages with much more Home for the money. People should spend the time to look around the area and not just run to the crowded Villages because they have retired. Lots of newcomers to Florida drinking the kool-aid. There are many great homes in the area without a large $ bond attached.
I see your comment is repeated on this video. I did answer your questions in the comment you made on the five things you need to know about buying in the villages. Thanks for watching and I appreciate all the feedback
Great info. Keep up the good work!
Great tour...thanks!
Cheap quality, would be OK for short term. I would miss my ten grandkids too much to move there permanently. Weather isn't everything.
I always eat at a table. A ping pong ball hanging from the ceiling will do the same as the concrete barrier. Excellent idea. Wow. I wouldn’t buy a Kuerig coffeemaker, but I might buy that cocktail maker. I like the homes in Dunedin. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching. I’m with you on the Keurig , I use a stovetop percolator
Hoping to move to this area soon, your video was very informative and professional, thank you
i like the neighborhood and the style of the houses
Can you slow down when turning or panning and could we see the ceilings? How tall are they.
Thanks for the videos
Hi really enjoy your vids! We are visiting in Jan 2022 & will look you up. Staying in Lady Lake.13 days. Its very confusing with the different models & options.It appears that the lifestyle down there would really suit us.
Yes it can be. Keep watching and email me with any questions!
Great tour videos! It would be nice to know the prices of the various units. Thank you!
Michael Vincent I put the prices in episode notes
Robyn Cavallaro Hi! I’m sorry for my ignorance but where would those be?
Michael Vincent No problem.
When you’re on the screen where the video is look at the title click on the title and it will open up and you’ll see all the notes about the homes all about me all about the episode
Patio villa neighborhood , laid out like a trailer park , villa are close to each other and look somewhat cheap from the outside. Why all the interior use of plastic laminates , no rugs on the floor , house interiors look very industrial not soft and warm with wall to wall carpets , some use of more color appliances in the kitchen instead of white.
David John they are very close. I say it looks like a military base. My home has carpeting but everyone has their personal preference the homes I showed had laminate or tile floor
Fl resident here. You do not want carpet in FL. Humidity. Sand. Pets. I went with Lifeproof.
Love Citrus Hills Reminds us the Hudson Valley New York were we live would love to have a little more property>
Mike Jahn I grew up in Chester NY. My family was in the onion growing business
Good info! Thanks for listing the price in the comments!
Cheryl Harter thanks for watching. Click on the video title, you will find the prices and listing agents 😎
something i don’t like about the houses are that ceilings are so low and windows in kitchen and bathrooms. thank you . i would like to see more videos ftom you!!
The ceilings are pretty high. Take a look at my video Why I moved to The Villages. See how bright my home is
Robyn Cavallaro thank you so much for your prompt response!!
Enjoyed your video my wife and I did a visit in 2018 village of fenny living in new Jersey right now will be retiring too Florida.
You will love it. I’m originally from Orange County NY and spent the past 27 years in PA before moving. Don’t wait to retire. :). I work full-time and get to enjoy this lifestyle
Hi Robyn! New subscriber here. Great tour of the various models which is really helpful. One suggestion/request...try to keep the angle pointed at eye level as much as possible. We were pointed down quite a bit, and while seeing flooring is important, an eye level perspective is so much easier to view. Love, love, love your commentary and style of videos!!! Please know that though. I can’t wait to see your tours of other categories!!!
Thanks for the tips!
Pricing would be nice.......There must be price options on everything,would be nice for a clue or three....
TOM COWLE click on the video title. You will find the models shown and listing price
Any moisture problems having the closets in the bathroom?
Dennis Petrucelli I haven’t experienced any moisture problems.
Those power lines would be a deal breaker for me at ANY price, let alone these.
I also laugh at the taxes, almost $5000 for these 'budget' homes. ridiculous cost on top of the community fees. I gave these a look but cannot see reasonable costs
This is not the community for everyone. You can get more for $$ outside of the villages
@@Robyncavallaro Thanks for you diplomatic response, appreciate it
You didn't show much about the outside so I am assuming there was not much to show. I would have liked to see how close the homes are in the rear.
Patio villas are close together not much to see
@@Robyncavallaro That's what I thought, thanks. i do like the courtyard villas, while not much bigger outside space they do seem to be private. thanks
Many purchase those with pets and for more affordable privacy
Great video Robyn see you in October your neighbor Bob & Pat
Enjoy your summer
Is that Formica counters in the kitchen?? Tell me that isn't so! And since many people retiring to FL will at some time be using walkers and wheelchairs, are these door openings large enough?
Yes, it's basic.
hi , i never seen you before. i like the way you’re showing the houses in neighborhood. i’m retired and muy husband and i i’m planning to move to Center Ocala. or in a new construction, in the village. i’m looking for a 1400 or 1500 SqFt with 3 beds and 2baths. it could be a townhouse or 2 story home. are there any crocodiles or snakes? i’m very afraid to those reptiles. i’m selling my property to purchase a property in florida. specially, in CENTRAL FLORIDA. what the prices of those houses in that village? thank you !!
Carmen ESpinal they start at 180,000 and up. I’m getting my real estate license. Message me when you’re ready to look
The Villages from the news? Man, that's like a combination of the "Kardashians and Jersey Shore - The Retirement Years ". Am waiting for "The Housewives of The Villages" to come out, then I'm there!
TangentOmega lol
Looks like cheap everything. All finishes are some of the cheapest available
Hi Robyn,great video! Wish we had some prices on them.thanks!
I’ll add that in the comments below :)
Just added the prices :)
Robyn Cavallaro Sorry,not sure where you added them?
Matt B in the comments section below the video
I’ve never heard the term “eat-off”. I’m assuming that refers to a kitchen counter with a hangover and bar stools? Thx for the videos! Great job!
Really? I’m from NY. You are correct that’s what we call the part of the island where you can sit and eat off the counter. LOL
Hi Robyn, I just discovered your RUclips Channel and subscribed. Great job on the patio home tours. I hope to move to The Villages in a few years. How long have you lived in The Villages? Anyway, keep the videos coming. If I can't visit The Villages again in 2020 because of COVID-19, I may have to make do with my Villagers who have You Tube channels until 2021.🌞😎
How much are the monthly HOA fees and other monthly fees in the Villages and what do the HOA fees and other required fees include?
We do not have an HOA here in TV but an amenity fee. I have 2 videos you should check out that discuss Bond, CDD and Amentity fee as well as How much it costs to live in TV
ruclips.net/video/a0i5spUYdcc/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/brmdf0mQd8c/видео.html
Hope that helps
No rods in walk in closet to hang clothes?
You can paint and put your touches inside these houses or do they have to stay neutral and kind of boring for resale I like a little bit of color and this beige/white thing is just kind of dirty looking I don't know might look different in person but life's too short to go through life with no color
If you purchase the home you are free to paint as you wish. I can tell you gray and white are very popular colors now
I hate when the commode is right in front of the shower so that when you step out of the shower and dry off, your towel is flapping against the commode. That's just nasty. So many bathrooms are like this. I don't want my commode so close to my shower or tub. I'm saying this from experience. I also don't want .h closet in the bathroom. I don't know who thought this was a good idea but I hate it. I'm dealing with that now. I don't know about most people but I get dressed in my bedroom. Not my bathroom or my closet so I'm constantly carrying clothes, short etc. back and forth. I hate it. Also moisture can get from your bath room into your closet. Not good.
Thank you for watching
Hi when you show a house in your videos can you mention the asking/listing price?
Thanks appreciate you vids very much.
Robert D. In the video you’re mentioning if you click on the title the show notes will open up and the price of the homes are listed there
I must have missed the prices or price ranges as I am looking to buy as a single guy.
The prices on those homes are listed in the notes but I wouldn’t even bother looking I made that video year and a half ago
Just ran across this video! Where exactly in Florida are the Villages located? My son lives outside of Boca Raton! I currently live outside Tulsa Oklahoma and am planning on coming to Florida in November! I would love to come check out some of these homes in person!
The Villages is located in Central Florida 30 minutes South of Ocala and West of Orlando. We are probably 3 1/2 hour drive from Boca
I am a licensed Realtor in Florida. I’d love to show you around.
@@Robyncavallaro that would be awesome! I have some medical issues to take care of and hopefully final phase of my divorce! But I plan on heading towards Florida in November! Provided stupid Covid 19 doesn't cause anymore lockdowns!
Ann Parham Hope medical issues are not serious
@@Robyncavallaro I see a cardiologist on Monday! Have to have a heart cath and stent put in! But its supposed to make me feel alot better after it's done! Plus I had a total knee replacement almost 2 years ago and it made things worse! Got my hip and back out of alignment and now have some pinched nerves in my back! The VA is really slow about getting things done, but hopefully very soon I will get some relief! Thanks for your concern! I am really anxious to start my new life in a new place !
First time viewing your videos they are great but you’re missing one great thing the prices you never mention the prices even on the new homes. I’m going down this year to look to buy A villa, but I’ll keep watching your videos maybe you’ll tell us how much the homes are.
If you click on the episode title you will find a list of the homes and prices :)
Can you show the living rooms? I watched two houses and you went right into the garage without showing the livingroom after coming out of the bedroom area.
Thanks for the feedback . 😎
Looks like a trailer park.
my EXACT thought and will be insured as such
Can u list price home is selling for please?
If you click on the title it will show list price. This was made 8 months ago. Prices have changed since then.
Hi Robyn, I hopefully will be moving to TV by end of year from Long Island. I've rented patio villas 3 times, but do you think they are large enough for full time, or would you do a cottage or designer home if you were to do it all over again? I don't want to be the average villager that moves several times. I'm thinking more of Bradford most likely for new golf course and whatever the square will be.
Tom Lizzol. I’m happy with the size of a patio Villa for my lifestyle and budget. It takes me 30 minutes to clean my home. The Designer Homes are beautiful especially with a large screened in lanai and pool. I think a location is a big deciding factor. If having the ability to reach Brownwood and Sumter Landing by golf cart and many golf courses than North of 44 is a better choice.
I think it may take some time before a square and championship course is completed down here in the Fenney area. Chatty Chatty bridge is a hike from the Fenney This would limit your golf cart travel. It doesn’t bother me. I travel by car everywhere.
Robyn, thank you for taking the time to talk and make a video on "The Villages." I'll be 55 in a month.....does that make me elderly? lol This type of living is intriguing and can be overwhelming, since there are so many villages and models to choose from.
50 year olds are the “New Villages Demographic “. Most definitely not elderly
Trailer Park without wheels?
Thanks for watching
How much do that cost
Robyn,isn't the bonds for the Marsh or Fenny area about 40 grand or more?
Yes it can be. Each section or "Style Home" can be that much. Here is The Villages homes are grouped together for example Tuepelo Vllas or New Hamtpon Veranda. The bond is based on the area you live and will differ. Make sense?
what is range prices, please!!
Patio Villa start in the 170’s. If you click on the video title I have included the prices :). Thanks for watching
I don’t understand why bathroom tubs are still being installed in new homes . Walk in showers I believe would be more preferable especially in a retirement community .
Some people like to take a bath. I have both Not everyone here is retired, everyone is active.
Do any of the homes in this area have gas stoves?
Homes South of 44 have gas. They’re are pockets of gas in the Northern section too
Most people don’t cook in the Villages??
Many people eat out at least 3-4 times per week. Many restaurants have food and drink specials and music. Why stay at home and cook. Sometimes its cheaper to have a meal out.
What are the prices of the houses you are showing us?
If you click on the episode title I provide details. Are you looking for a home in the Villsges?
Why not show the out door space???
KELLYANNE REE there isn’t much of any in a Patio Villa.
The houses are cookie cutter and the lots are so tiny. Does anyone in the Villages know the word architect???
Is there anyplace in the villages to store an RV ?
There are locations in the villages to store an RV but there are several locations offsite on route 44 . There are also several RV dealers that will allow you to store your RV
And he is funny :). Love his videos
Are these cbs block homes? Why are there no cars in the driveway?
Any home that has a stucco finish are block homes. Most people only have one car and they keep them in the garage. Plus some of these in the video are in a brand new development and we’re not occupied at the time
@@Robyncavallaro more specifically, are the patio villas cbs block, wood frame, or can they be either?
Didn’t look very friendly a week or so ago when I saw the video about villagers yelling and swearing at each other about the virus...trump....guns....
Unfortunately that was not a representation of the entire community.
@@Robyncavallaro it looked big enough to make someone think about considering the development
Fl is split fifty fifty, there are a$$ holes everywhere, north and south, east and west both sides of the aisle
What is the price of these homes
Richard Capadagli They start around $189.000
Why are the costs such a secret? Why not post the cost and hoa for each home?
It's not a secret. I didn't plan on putting it on the video (my first home tour) and a viewer asked the price so I added in the comments. This was the quickest solution. My next home tour will include some of that information but these are about what the homes look like and areas to live in. I am not trying to sell these homes. If you are interested you may reach out the sales agent.
@@Robyncavallaro if you're showing the home, its quite simple to say what the approx cost and hoa is. Expecting me to call and talk to a real estate agent is a little much. I simply will go elsewhere, there are plenty others who tell me the price up front. Good luck......
Thank you for watching. Again, I am NOT selling homes. I wanted to show viewers options and styles of homes in The Villages, Fl and surrounding areas. As of this moment I am not a licensed real estate agent so to provide all of that information may be misleading.
Ripoff
@@Robyncavallaro Good answer. Very well said.
How much?
If you click on the title of the video the notes will appear. I have listed the prices and agents that represent the property. I did not recieve a fee to produce this video it is meant to show an overall look at the style homes available in the Villages.
Cheap built, go to older community, get more for money!
The best buys are in the North. Many of the homes have been upgraded and the bond is PAID :)
Watching this video you can tell they are cheaply made.
Thanks for commenting. I agree for the most part retirees want to enjoy themselves and have $$ to spend not be house poor. In The Villages In addition to the home you’re paying for the amenities that they offer.
Dry lawns.
Is this all this place offers ?. Not for us we want something a little different
The Villages is not for everyone. There are many communities in Flordia to choose from all with their own features and benefits. Best of luck in your search.
You need to talk prices, otherwise this is useless.
Click on the episode title. Prices are in the notes
These are about the most boring and bland houses I’ve ever seen. No character. Cookie cutter neighborhoods. Lots of activities in the Villages but coming back to the house would be depressing.
$$$$$?????? ah
Click on the title. Prices in the description. This is an older video.
