Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is The Village?
The Village is a women-led community designed exclusively for single women 35+. It serves women who dream of owning their own home, building financial stability, and retiring at 50+. Whether you’re planning to relocate to Florida, preparing for retirement through our pathway program, or already financially secure and ready to retire, The Village offers a safe, supportive, and empowering place to call home. Members secure their own bondnest — a cozy, modern tiny home — while gaining community, belonging, and peace of mind for the future.
Where will The Village be located?
The Village is a planned development in Lake County, Florida, near the Wellness Way corridor and Clermont. This location is central to Orlando attractions, beaches, and travel hubs like the Brightline train to Miami.
When will The Village open?
Phase 1 construction is planned to begin once land is secured and financing is finalized. Each phase will include approximately 10 bondnests, with move-ins beginning after 6–8 months of build time. Members are notified which phase they’re in when they choose their tier.
When will Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 of The Village open?
-
Phase 1: Launching Spring 2026 with our very first bondnests. Spots are limited — early members will be the first to call The Village home.
-
Phase 2: Rolling out in late 2026, adding more homes plus exciting shared amenities to expand your lifestyle options.
-
Phase 3: Opens in 2027, followed by the completion of the first Phase in early 2028 with full features, events, and experiences.
✨ Each phase has limited openings — securing your path today ensures you’re at the front of the line when your bondnest is ready.
Housing & Lifestyle
What is a bondnest?
A bondnest is your personal home inside The Village — a cozy, modern tiny home designed to be affordable, safe, and fully yours. Each bondnest can be personalized, and mortgages are designed to be no more than 30% of your income.
How many homes will The Village have?
The community will be developed in three phases, each with about 20 bondnests. That means roughly 60 total homes across The Village.
Can I customize my bondnest?
es! Residents can personalize their space through our Design Studio, with options for finishes, layouts, and even upgrades through the Home Improvement & Personalization Fund.
Is The Village like a retirement home?
No. The Village is not a retirement home. It’s about independence, ownership, and community — not care services. You own your bondnest, build equity, and belong to a supportive, women-led neighborhood.
Costs & Membership
How much does it cost to join?
Membership begins with a $99 application fee. Once approved, you’ll pay your tier entry fee, which now includes your annual Elite Membership (a $179 savings). If you’re already an Elite Member, your existing membership will be converted to this new annual fee — meaning you’ll no longer pay a separate Elite Membership charge.
How much will my mortgage be?
Homes are designed to stay at or below 30% of your monthly income — keeping homeownership accessible and sustainable. With bondnests starting around $100,000, many residents can expect affordable monthly payments compared to renting or assisted living.
What do annual fees cover?
Annual fees vary by path and include: Elite Membership, exclusive community credits (for events, wellness, or workshops), access to Village-only experiences, and tier-specific bonuses like trial stays, retreats, and VIP gatherings that add lasting value to your journey.
What is the minimum down payment required to start my build?
The minimum down payment is either 3.5% or 10% of your bondnest’s purchase price, depending on your credit score. This ensures you can move forward with confidence when your home is ready.

Community & Belonging
Who can join The Village?
Women who are U.S. citizens, age 35+, with an active Elite Membership. The Village is designed by women, for women, as a safe and supportive environment for retirement living.
What kind of community events are there?
Members enjoy monthly workshops, accountability circles, and quarterly events. Premium and Legacy members also receive advisor consultations, while Legacy members get exclusive retreats and legacy benefits.
Can family or friends visit?
Absolutely! Guests are welcome. The Village is your home — with all the joy of community living and the privacy of your own bondnest.
What if I start dating or want to move in with a partner?
The Village is a women-led, membership-based community. Residency is a benefit of active membership, which is designed exclusively for women 35+. Because of this, members are not able to add non-members as full-time residents. If your circumstances change, you can continue living in your bondnest as a single woman or explore membership transfer options.
Enrollment & Phases
How do I secure my place in The Village?
Apply online, pay the $99 application fee, and once approved, select your tier. That tier choice secures your phase placement (Phase 1, 2, or 3) as bondnests become available.
How long does it take to move in?
Once construction begins, homes take 6–8 months to build. Phase 1 residents will be the first to move in, followed by Phases 2 and 3 as new homes are completed.
What if Phase 1 fills before I join?
You’ll be placed in Phase 2 or Phase 3 depending on your tier selection and timing. Space is limited, so the earlier you join, the sooner you secure your spot.
