I was looking at the TV website this morning and noticed that all of the homes in the Edgewater Bungalows area are now for sale. You can click on any homesite to see the price and name of the model. I guess that none of these will every be used for Lifestyle Preview guests.

Looks like most of them are already sold. Anyone know where to find the floor plans for the different models....I can't seem to find them. Thanks!

$243K (plus bond) for 1600 SF, 3 BR/2 Bath, Concrete walls with stucco, 1 car + golf cart garage at LSL seems like an OK deal. Lots look small tho (maybe 3500 SF?).

Where did you see the SF of the lots? You surely can't beat the location of those or Creekside Landing.
As much as I love the view from the back the villa I got in Belle Aire, I might have been tempted by being able to walk to the square! Neither of these were advertised as available (or even in the near future) when I bought in September. I had mentioned to our sales rep about how much we loved the closeness of Creekside to TooJays and Sweetbay.

I guess she didn't know they were going to be available.

Just an eyeball guess - looking at the pictures, they really look like small lots.

Where is the pool/mail station? I don't see one.

[kandj]

Hmm... I don't see them either. But then again, I never noticed that Summerchase didn't have guest parking!

Lot sizes range from 4000 to 11000 SF

Go to the Sumter County Property Assessor's website http://www.sumterpa.com/GIS/Search_F.asp and put Edgewater om the street name box. Click on the GIS map link for any one of the properties, and you can then scroll around to look at the others.

They will probably share the pool and mailboxes at Creekside Landing across the street.

Not all of the units have been offered for sale -- looks llike they are keeping about a third of them, probably for Lifestyle visits.

All of the homes in Edgewater are for sale. Looking at the map this morning, only 13 are still available. Apparently none of these homes will be used for Lifestyle Preview guests.

A Chicago friend of our next door neighbor just bought one of these homes. They were told that the floor plans were identical to some other CYV's, except they all have have 2 car garages instead of the 1 1/2 car garages. This is second-hand information so it could be incorrect.

I find the Sumter County Geographical Information site easier to use than the Property Appraiser site which only shows information for only one parcel at a time. Go to www.sumtergis.com. Enter "Edgewater Ln" in the search box (not Edgewater Lane). When the list of addresses appears, click on any one of them. An aerial view will now come up that shows multiple parcels. Go to the tool boxes at the top and zoom out by changing the scale to at least 100'. Now you will be able to see the entire Edgewater development. Click on the parcel that you want to look at. When the information appears in a separate window, click on "Property Appraiser". Another window will appear with more detailed information including the total square footage. This is a great public information website and can be used to look at any parcel within Sumter County.

I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can answer for me!

Does anyone know approximately how much the bond is on a $200,000 home in Edgewater? I've heard quite a range of $ amounts and I'm wondering if anyone has bought there and knows for sure!

Also, are all of the homes all Courtyard Villas? I couldn't determine if they all were or just some of them.

Thanks for any info any can give me--And, are they nice??

Go to thevillages.com. Click on homes near the top and right side. The next window has Edgewater bungalows near the middle on your left. Click on this and a window will open where you can moe the cursor and find out all the info ( but not the bond amount).

I drove through there on Christmas day and all the homes are Courtyard Villas. Many had sold written on the windows so I just checked the web site and I see that there are only 7 left.

I remember reading on TOTV that Edgewater was going to be used for lifestyle previews. However, I don't remember where that information had come from. Does anybody know? Did TV ever officially state somewhere that the Edgewater development would be for lifestyle visitors?

I heard from a sales agent at an open house that TV is going back to using Property Management for LSP along with those homes in Creekside. Another person mentioned that they have a friend that is doing a LSP and they are staying in a home on the east of LSL. These homes were all used for LSP and then put on the market.

I have a friends that was here in 2007 for his first LSP and they were put up in a home in Amelia.

One thing I see from this is that maybe TV is seeing that too many people are using the LSP as a vacation and not what it was intended for.

Where are the LSV homes going to be? Will they still be near LSL?
