This Villages weekly update shares confirmed developments likely to interest residents — especially those following south-side growth and planning. This week includes a leadership title change, two new executive golf courses under construction, and early expectations around home sales in the Lakeview area near Eastport.
Villages weekly update: leadership and continuity
Ivy Chandler has been named CEO of The Villages. Mark Morris remains President and continues to oversee final decision-making.
Based on what’s been shared publicly, this appears to be a structural or administrative title adjustment rather than a change in direction. There’s been no indication of new development priorities, policy updates, or operational shifts tied to the announcement.
For residents who track long-term planning, the message is clear: stability over shift.
Two new executive golf courses under construction
Two new executive courses — Beauty Berry and Honeysuckle — are confirmed and currently under construction in the southern Villages area.
Newly released maps now clarify where each course sits and how they’re routed, resolving earlier uncertainty about placement near neighborhoods and infrastructure.
Their addition reinforces the steady southward expansion and increases executive golf options for nearby residents. These courses appear positioned to support adjacent residential development, not signal a larger change in golf strategy.
Readers following south-side growth may also find it helpful to revisit our Eastport-area development coverage, which adds further context on nearby construction activity.
Lakeview neighborhood homes expected to go on sale
Homes in the Lakeview neighborhood are expected to go on sale soon, including a mix of interior lots, golf-adjacent homes, and water-facing designer properties.
Lakeview sits near the Eastport corridor, which continues to see active infrastructure and commercial development. Its location suggests strong buyer interest once sales begin.
As of now, pricing, lot details, and release timing have not been formally announced. Consider this an early signal rather than a formal launch notice.
We’ll continue to share confirmed, practical updates as they’re available — and clearly flag where details are still evolving rather than fill gaps with speculation.
