Exploring Marsh Bend and DeLuna in The Villages, Florida

[@caroldawson5384]

Love touring the Villages neighborhoods with you!

[@shellyd1434]

You two are just lovely! My husband and I are relocating in early 2024 to move closer to my parents who have lived in the villages for 16 yrs. I LOVE the Deluna area the most so I am so thankful for this video! I will stay tuned to your channel.👍🏼😁

[@pngproductions8529]

LOVE the look of the homes in Deluna

[@juleebailey3046]

Had to revisit this video now that I know DeLuna will be our Village home!! Beautiful area, so glad we will get to call it home! Thank you for showing it to us. See you when we get there!

[@davidthieme4710]

What a wonderful gift. Our story is a long one. But the gift is not about us. As with most gifts, the best gifts are when something happens to someone else that makes you happy. Our current home in The Villages is in Marsh Bend. If you ride the golf cart path that parallels the turnpike, and you stop under the powerlines to watch that beautiful sunset. Our home is the one with the Lanai under the magnificent Oak at the end of the wall to your left. But enough about us. Our friends from home, Brian & Laurie, just got the best welcome to The Villages anyone could ask for. We were so tickled when we saw this "film". We have been subscribing fans of yours for a long time, and feel like you are close friends, even though we have never met. And now we get to thank you for such a wonderful gift. A Welcome from the Newcomers is truly the best welcome one could ask for. And you just did it for our friends who we have missed for awhile, that are about to be near us again.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

David, thank you so much. You have no idea how good it makes us feel when we find out that something we have posted or broadcast has made other people feel good. We hope you, as well as Brian and Laurie, have as wonderful a time in the villages as we have. That is just about the nicest comment we have read in a long, long time.🙂🙂

[@davidthieme4710]

@@JERRYANDLINDA If you ever come across our home in The Long place feel free to knock on our door or walk up to our Lanai and say hello. I didn't want to publish my location on the internet so I just left some hints that only Villagers would know, Oh, and you can borrow our golf cart anytime you need it.

My wife and I are in the process of purchasing a courtyard villa in Marsh Bend. Your video was very helpful in our decision to buy in Marsh Bend. It is a beautiful village and we look very forward to the Water Lily Bridge opening. Keep up the good work!

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Port a potty, portaloo, biffy. We call port a johns, biffies up here in the hinterland. After watching many Villages videos, I find Marsh Bend to be one of my favorite villages, if my number one favorite. I like Lake Sumpter and Dunedin as well. I’m partial to pre-owned homes.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Biffy! 😁🤣😁🤣😁🤣

I was just in The Villages as my sis lives in Hadley. Almost bought a patio villa in Deluna. Loved the floor plan. Interest rate didn't work out for a second home but maybe down the road.

[@johnkatrich4259]

Never buy a lot or a home just by looking at a plot plan. You need to physically visit the location so you can check for nuisances like intersecting roadways, utility boxes, undesirable noises or smells etc.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Great point John. We got lucky making an offer on our home sight unseen. The house was already built and we were able to come down for a final decision.

[@ashleysmith6884]

We picked our lot on Marsh Bend off plan when the plans were initially released. Unfortunately the LOT was never released - because it is one of the show homes :-) We settled for a designer home around the corner (not on this video) - but on a second visit, 3 months later to finalise the design, we changed our mind - mainly due to the increased noise and the completion of the homes opposite. TV has a great policy that you can change once free of charge - and we were lucky enough that Chitty Chatty had been released the week we were out so we swapped. TV really do give prospective owners lots of opportunities to make sure that they pick the righ home (if a designer). You put down a $2k deposit and have 7 days to make up your mind. a further $ 8k (making $10k overall) is put down with 90 days to complete your designs. You can pull out or swap out at any point up to signing the design home free. So you have ample opportunity to get it right.... visit multiple times of day morning traffic is different to lunch time and night time...

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

That is great to know, Ashley. You were wise to wait until you could get exactly what you wanted.

[@anncampbell4547]

Always walk the lot. My builder suggested that and I almost didn’t do it. But I decided since he mentioned it it was for a reason. I did not take that lot it had some kind of drain in the backyard that I did not want on my land,

Beautiful, just beautiful! 🌞 Excellent ride along.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

[@pilotbell407]

Love the Video, I am in South America at work and have not been home to see the recent construction. I dont think you noticed but all the Christopher Villa homes had names on the light post in front of each home. This common for the Live the Lifestyle homes you can rent. Those homes are not for sale as of yet. If you look at The Villages App you will note they are not listed.

[@Muffin192213]

Another great ride along video for those who can't be there just yet(like me) it's a great tutorial of the overall area. Jerry & Linda your doing what you do best 'educating' lol Thanks.

Another good video - it’s interesting of the subtle changes in house designs and cart path designs that have happened over the years. It’s fun to see the older and newer villages on your cart rides. One request would be to leave in more outtakes of Linda cracking herself up - it’s hilarious and we start laughing with her because we do the same thing.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

There are no shortages of those, maybe you will see them in a blooper video.😁

[@darlettarubin1665]

Aww I wish I would have seen you 2. My husband and I live on Messina Path in the Village of DeLuna (one day TV will get a sign) and you drive right past our home. We plan to add a pool and when we do; I’ll invite you down to do a show from the design to the finished project. I hear TV of DeLuna will get a entry sign when District 13 is completed. That’s the area you rode up to (the dead end) that was fenced off.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks Darletta, a show about pools from start to finish would be nice.

[@kefirheals7383]

Another fun video! Interesting how the 'garage' is the most prominent thing you see, as you cruised the neighborhoods, and the entry ways were pushed way back. Different. I went to The Villages website and scrolled down the floorplans. Oh my gosh - the ones I really liked were: Jasmine, Sassafras, Tamarind, and Wisteria. They all had 3 bedrooms, 2 car garages, and the entry led you thru a foyer, then to the kitchen, rather than walking into a living room. I've always liked having the kitchen close to the entry. Everyone loves to gather in the kitchen. And yeah, I'm only "imagining" living there, cuz you did tell me, "never say never". Ha Ha - I'm Dreaming! You two are too compatible - uh uh, can't be. Just kidding.

When my sister and her husband bought their retirement home they were not having any health problems, as time went on they both were having trouble walking, guess what .? Their drive was on a very slight hill and they couldn’t get their trash the short distance to the street. Or get to their mail box. Small things are not thought about sometime. And sometimes your dream home really does turn in to a dream home.

[@ralphanderson155]

Boy you have to have a good retirement to live there. Too high for me. Congrats to you guys. You are both a hoot. God bless!!

We have housing for every pocketbook! Prices range from $150k to $2m.

wow we were in that area Wed also! Sorry we missed ya. Saw the bridge, looks very impressive, not like the roller coaster bridge (fun) over 441 connecting Spanish Springs and Orange Blossom. Also saw the landscaper with the palm trees. Area is really coming along, losing the desert look. Have you seen the neighborhood with the brick road in the Marsh Bend area yet? The Magnolia Rec center is hugh! Unfortunately real estate agents don't tell all. When we bought our house I asked the listing agent where our property lines were, he couldn't answer us. Luckily zillow had my answer. Thanks for the tour.

Enjoyed the tour. It would have been nice to see the interior & pool of your favorite Center. The villas look like they have vinyl siding? When Linda said that the Villas seemed to have more come together activities, I wondered if other older neighborhoods had less activities? You are absolutely right, these active adult communities are really geared to enjoying a special lifestyle. Jeanne

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Hi Jean, yes those villas did have vinyl siding and there are villas also that have block and stucco. We find that the older villages do have activities regardless of how old they are but perhaps the younger folks take more advantage of them. We will let you know when our village gets old. 😆😆😆😆😆

Thanks Suz, To be perfectly honest with you, we have no idea. We do not select the people that advertise, we have absolutely no input on the number of ads, or the subject of the ads. We started our channel simply as an informational tool for people hoping to find more information about The Villages. We were shocked and thrilled that so many people enjoy watching our videos. Once we reached a certain number of subscribers and views, KZbin started paying us. It is only a fraction of a cent for each view, but it definitely helps us buy equipment, pay admission prices, buy gas, etc. We appreciate you, and every other person that watches our videos because it truly does help us keep the channel going.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Yes, the public resident pools are heated to, I believe 85ﾟ.

[@avsrock]

Hello Jerry and Linda, I'm a new subscriber and have been watching your wonderful videos for a couple of weeks. In this video, I noticed a lot of the homes had 6 ft privacy vinyl fences. I thought fences weren't allowed and is this neighborhood an exception? I have 2 dogs and would prefer a fenced in yard. Thanks!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks Patrick, The homes with the fences or walls are Courtyard villas. They are quite common in The Villages. Every village has villas so you should be able to find a home with a fence.

[@carlzimmerman4341]

Thanks for the video if possible it would be helpful if you could list the price range for some of the communities you drive through especially the villa locations.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Right now in DeLuna on The Villages app you can find a villa listed for sale at $168,900 or a designer home for $589,000. There are many homes listed at just about every price point in between those 2. If you are ever interested in a home in any village, you can go to the villages app type in the village name, and all the homes for sale will pop up.

[@lindapearl3844]

Love your ride alongs! A few questions. What’s an on demand water heater in front? It’s the homeowners that must pay for a porta potty when work is being done? I was surprised as you rode by that red and blue house & wondered why that was allowed? Happy Thanksgiving to you and Linda!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Linda, those water heaters replace the big tanks that most of us have inside our homes. The on demand tanks in the Villages are on the exterior of the homes. Anytime builders do service for us the consumer ends up paying for everything, Including the port a pot. It is all built into the final bill. Yes come a we thought the same that blue house is different from most the USE in the Villages. It must be an approved colour, or I don't think they would have it.

[@Jyeagley1]

I heard the bond in DeLuna is $40,000? Is that true and are other southern villages as much as that? I am interested in the southern newer areas.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We have heard a similar number to that.

[@tommiller3695]

I don't mean to advertise but if you google Villagers Homes you will find a good rental sites. I'd also suggest a Lifestyle visit with The Villages management. Definitely visit a friend that lives here or rent something before you buy here. You will either love it or hate it. Best to know for sure before it costs you many dollars.

Those hot water heater’s are tankless, believe me not on demand. Seems like it takes 5 minutes for the hot water to come out.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Yes, we have heard that. There is also a circulation pump you can add that can help. We don't know a whole lot about it.

[@davidthieme4710]

The circ pump will erase any energy savings the tankless heater provides. The best thing about them is when you have guests. We had 8 people that all needed a shower before an event and every one of them had a hot shower.

[@371508129]

The problem can also be solved by putting a 5 gallon 110 volt water heater under the faucet in a bathroom that is a long ways from the main heater so hands can be washed in warm water.

But it is much more quiet than a train. So noise is relative. Every lot/home has plusses and minuses. Getting the right balance is as different as the people who choose them.

[@russjackson2134]

It seems these roads are very narrow, lots are tiny in all directions and with not having sidewalks, I feel almost claustrophobic just watching. There is a great deal of stuff going on, on each property, with driveways almost touching, I feel in this price range the community would do better with brick pavers for such expansive surfaces. I imagine it looks different in person, but on video, it tends to look awkward.
