Default Leno?

I have heard that Jay Leno is in the process of building a home here in The Villages, complete with 10 garages? Does anyone know if this is true? It would make since that he would love it here....cars, fun....

There was a false rumor 5-6 years ago that his mother lived here. Maybe what you heard is an extension of that legend.

But, hey, he is retiring next year, so, who knows?

This is a Premiere house under construction in the Palmetto course area. It takes up two lots, and has 10 garages.

The house by palmetto is being built by someone who does framing for houses being built in the villages. He certainly has job security for a couple years yet.

When we first moved here there was a rumor that his Leno's mother or mother-in-law lived over by palmer. There is a house with 6 or 7 garages over there someplace.

I'd bet that he'd adhere to the 19 MPH speed guidelines.

I think his house would be somewhere more secluded and secure, not in a neighborhood with other houses just a few feet away.

A 10 car garage would not hold 1/10 of Jay's car collection. You could gut one of the rec centers and still not have enough room for his collection. Go check out his web site as he does have a very nice collection.

A Jaywalking segment with some select Villagers...could be hilarious!

Default Jay may be in a slightly different place then many of us...

How does one say this without being misintepreted as slamming TV?

I live in TV, I love living in TV, BUT BUT... I cannot imagine anyone with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars choosing TV

C'mon now

I don't think you're "slamming TV" in the least.

What you've said......is just plain common sense.

Even the developer and his family, who would have more reason to do it..... don't live with the bourgeoisie.

I think TV would be great no matter how much money you have! :^)

I agree that someone with his mega bucks would not want to live here. Plus, he is not a party person at all!

I'm curious as to why you think that.

For someone in his similar financial position, what do you think would be the attraction for them?
