    Which Is The BEST Villa Community??

    We are going out to Orlando in April for two weeks and while we are out there we will be taking a look around some properties and I would be very interested to know which Villa Communities you would recommend for safetly, amenities and quality of villas etc.

    How can you expect any of us to say anything other than our own communities?????

    They are all as safe as each other - gated or non-gated, it doesn't matter at all.
    Amenities vary - what do you want on the development that you buy on?
    Quality of villas is also high everywhere!!

    What you put inside the home is up to you so the quality here varies from home to home.

    I agree with Carla,


    Think it depends on what you want. Near the parks, away from the parks, community pool, golf course etc. When we were last there we did visit a few of the communitys near to where we were staying. They are all very similar, offering lovely villas to stay in.

    We wanted to be a bit away from the theme parks, and we are going to the same place next
    year.

    I agree with Carla & Chris

    I would say pick what type of community your looking for and then this will help pick a communiyu or a few.

    I decide i want a big home on one floor with pool and a nice clean community and i am very happy with what i have pick as i am sure all the other owners are too.

    There are many many communities so decide on your pref location, what u want to u it for stuff like that.

    Good luck[msnsmile2]

    Yes I know what you are all saying but I dont think you would have bought on the first communitys you saw. You would probably have looked at several and dissmissed them in favour of the one you ended up buying on. There must be some that are a little too big or too busy of just badly laid out. Its the bad ones I suppose Id like to know about.

    Just about every community in the Central Florida area is represented by at least one owner/villa on these 3 sister advertising sites.

    You are asking for the impossible. We just cannot help you here. You will have to draw up a short list of what you want in a community, then find the communities that fit the bill. You can read a description of each community via this forum.

    Drive round the communities that suit you and see for yourself.
    We cannot possibly tell you what you would like.

    It's a bit like asking how long's a piece of string! What suits one of us, doesn't suit the next and so on.

    I think what we're all trying to say is that it's what suits you and your family rather than what we think that's important here. That's how most of us made our decision on where to purchase our home(s) in Florida. I don't know about anyone else, but I could just drive into a community and 'know' that I personally don't want to purchase a home there, perhaps even before I've looked at model homes, etc. But, what's 'right' for my family may not be right for yours!

    Drive around, check out as many communities as you can, get the feel of them and whether they are right for you. No-one can tell you what's right for you as buying a home is a really personal decision that you need to be happy with, perhaps (or should I say hopefully) for a very long time.

    Okay, thats put it another way:-

    Are there any communities that are in a bad neighbourgh hood, or have a high crime rate? There must be some. I am looking for a SAFE community anywhere in Orlando for my wife two children and myself and I want to know that I have bought in the best possible area with regards to safety etc

    When we settled on the villa we eventually purchased, the community had no impact on our decision - it was the villa itself that sold us. All the communities we visited when touring villas were very nice. This really didn't enter into the decision at all except that we knew we wanted to be near the parks.

    As for the safety issue - I think what Carla said above is true. Each one is as safe as the next. I don't know of any bad neighborhoods in or around the communities we represent here - maybe someone else might?
