Hi allDoes anyone know of an RV type residential village in Florida and/or Texas. The type of thing I am looking for would look like this - privately owned residences with facilities to park your RV beside your house and your house would be located amongst other RV similar houses in a community. Some other features in the community might be a men's shed, pool, bowling green etc. Are there any of these types of places in either Florida or Texas ? Thanks everyone.

lake whitney estates (which it was called years back when I was looking) has the various houses but no pool but has a large lake. :)also lake livingston. TX had a fairly high property tax and utility tax.bumpy

I find this type if you google RV Port Homes.

Two in Florida are Lake Ashton Estates and Lake Weir Communtiy but there others.

Retama Village in the Rio Grande Valley, TX might be what you're looking for....Retama

Thanks everyone. The Rio Grande Valley one is exactly what I am talking about. Does anyone have any others in the Florida or Texas area ?

The only thing I will add regarding Florida is use one of those crime websites BEFORE you buy any property in Florida. Unless you know someone personally in Florida to assist you where not to buy you NEED to check each one out first for the crime level.

I spent a year looking for property in Florida. It is the most discombobulated real estate area I have ever seen. You can't tell just by looking if it's a neighborhood you want to live in or be safe in. The surrounding houses might look nice but the demographics will have changed dramatically.

Go here and plug in the address of property you are looking at.

All the icons depicting the type of crime are backed up by actual police reports so it is an actual view of what goes on in that neighborhood.

I was just 'shocked' when I used it to look at property I wanted to buy. Thank god I got the heads up from this website. Real estate agents per the law can NOT tell you.

Good luck!

I am sending you this website so you can take a look. Very conveniently located to shopping, dining and Disney but far enough away to be quiet.

I drove through that development by mistake, a couple of weeks ago, looking for a Thousand Trail campground, which was actually a mile or so away. It seemed like a very nice community.
Here's another Florida one that was mentioned in an earlier post
