The Villages Garnet Model Tour

- We stayed in the Patio Villa Garnet Model during our lifestyle visit in The Villages, Florida. It was very nice and roomy for a home around 1300 sq ft. This is one of the largest Patio Villas that they are building at this time in 2024. We were impressed by how quiet it was in the house even though we had a street right behind us. You never know what model you will get when going for a lifestyle visit, but we enjoyed staying in the Garnet.
Wow! This is Beautiful home. Great for retirement 😊thanks for sharing
It really is! You’re welcome.
I think this house is adorable! ❤
@@theresaterry164 it is nice.
Warning! If you plan to move to Fl and purchase a home expect high homeowners insurance rates.
Thanks for the warning. We already know about that.
Old news....
@@dirkdiggler2052 Everyone we have met there were very friendly.
@@jessicacaruso8099 thanks for watching.
@@dirkdiggler2052 what makes them uppity ?
Yep, my wife and I have been eyeing the patio villas as well, our favorite floor plans are the Garnet or the Moonstone models
@@Bjengel love the kitchen in the Moonstone
@@kathybinthe6037 yep, that’s what we love too….. it’s a toss-up between the nice kitchen with island in the moonstone or the rear lanai in the Garnet. Other than that, they are very similar
We really liked the Garnet, but we have a car and a truck. We don't think we could get the car out of the garage with the truck behind it in the Garnet.
@@GetOutHaveFunKeepSmiling Nope, definitely not….. Patio Villa’s don’t work well with having two vehicles. My wife and I will only have 1 vehicle and 1 golf cart and for us, a Patio Villa would work just fine. In our situation, with everything within The Villages being accessible by golf cart, we don’t see a big need for a second vehicle
We will still be working, so we will be keeping both vehicles for a while. Of course, we want to get a golf cart, too.
Oh boy, so exciting. You actually have a garage and even a kitchen! How can you stand it?
I know! Isn’t it great! 😅
Not much natural light. Recommend at least 2 Solar lights.
@@michaelsheedy that would probably be nice in this house.
I’m surprised that TV’s are using that style home for the lifestyle visits. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice home. And would be perfect for some retirees needs. I just would think TV’s would want put folks up in a larger, nicer model home to encourage potential buyers. Just my 2 cents. Hope you two enjoyed your visit.
I see what you’re saying. I know that years ago my MIL and FIL stayed in a different type of home during their visit.
New subscriber here ..... Enjoyed your videos of the Villages ..... I have a question for you.... I'm curious of the price range of the models that they are offering in this development ....
Thanks for subscribing! If you go to The Villages Florida online, you can see the models and prices. Homes start around $225,000 to multi millions. You can even get some homes in the historic area for less than that.
@@GetOutHaveFunKeepSmiling I "Thank you" for the info .....
@@esousa486 you’re welcome!
Is the garnet a new model they will be building in the Eastport area?
Yes. I think they have been building it for a little while, but they don’t make many of them.
Have a few questions what’s the price? How much is the insurance cost and property taxes I lived in South Florida 33 years left in 2019. Thank God insurance now is triple taxes going up and prices of homes is double or triple. So can you answer these questions?
We can give a little info. Houses have prices from around $200,000 to millions. It just depends on what you want. Insurance is high and I’m not sure how much yet, since we haven’t moved there yet. Also, it depends on the house. The larger the house the more the taxes, and it also depends on what county/city your house is in. I think there are 6 different tax rates. Also, most homes have a bond, so that is something to keep in mind. Sorry that I can’t be more specific. Thanks for watching.
@@GetOutHaveFunKeepSmiling thanks for the info
@@GetOutHaveFunKeepSmiling thanks for the additional info
@@GetOutHaveFunKeepSmiling Your answers are "appreciated" 🙂
@@1225328 you’re welcome!
Oh, I missed one more question. What are the HOA fees?
They don’t have HOA, but they do have amenities fees which are around $95 per month per house at this time.
$195/mo@@GetOutHaveFunKeepSmiling
Oops. That is $195 per month.
@@GetOutHaveFunKeepSmiling thank you
I hear that the Villages homes do not allow any type of outdoor decorations, i.e. bird baths, garden stakes, small garden flags etc. Is this accurate?
I’m not an expert, but I believe it can be different in different districts. I do know that they are trying to keep The Villages beautiful.
I guess it’ll be hard to hear your husband in the gas “golf car” 😅? Have you watched “Jerry and Linda-the Villages Newcomers”?
He does speak a bit softer than me 😀. I have watched them for years. They are great!
Love Jerry and Linda !!!! They are nice couple.
@@debbiec6216 we would like to meet them someday.
What Village/Area is this Villa in?
This is in Harper villas in Newell. At the moment, they are using all of these villas for lifestyle visits.
Just a warning… i was contacted by a Villages lawyer about doing these type of videos.. they told me to cease and desist from posting youtube videos of the Villages homes without their permission unless it was bought.. just an fyi
@@forexfrank4484 thanks for the information.
Don't buy if HOA...
They will tell you how your gonna live...what color plants what type...what decorations what color...your guests can't park in front of your home mind you your home.your a prisoner to those rules and many more.they fine you very heavy can get so out of control as to take your house...fine print.dont buy in the villages.shes so not telling truths about it..
Maybe cuz no one asks.oh nice patio villa they will tell u how to enjoy it.
@@cindysim4084 thanks for watching.
Rules like a condo where you basically have no rights.
I own a condo and regret it, I feel like a tenant not a homeowner!
Looks like a garden shed.
@@tomwalker9836 Wow! You have a nice garden shed.
You lost me at alligators.
Oh no. Well, you do have to be careful, but in the 15 years I have visited, I haven't seen one yet.
My grandma
Thanks for watching
🐊 LOL
You want to be careful opening the door. You never know who might be out there.
@@GetOutHaveFunKeepSmiling yes I used to live in Tampa when I was a kid. You never know when you will encounter something.
@@christysimoncini6890 that’s what I heard.
Nah

No one uses the term “Master Bedroom” anymore. It’s racist! 😮
Thanks for watching. We never mean to offend anyone.
