The Lofts at Brownwood, which for the first time will offer apartment living with full use of amenities in The Villages, has begun taking shape a stone’s throw from Paddock Square.
The Lofts at Brownwood will include 265 age-restricted apartment-style units. The residents of the apartments will have their own private resort-style pool, clubhouse and fitness center. They also will have a dog park. In addition, 100 percent of residents of the Lofts at Brownwood will have Villages amenities built into their rental fee.
As the apartment buildings rise, many are wondering what the future holds for apartment life in The Villages.
Condominiums and apartments will be allowed in the new Villages of Southern Oaks, a sprawling development that will stretch from U.S. 301 east nearly to County Road 470 on both sides of the Florida Turnpike.
Apartments and condominiums would squeeze more money out of the acreage it is located on and provide a steady income for The Villages.
However, some residents who bought homes, pay amenity fees and pay property taxes are not happy about the idea of apartments in The Villages.
