|---|---|---|---|
| Land ownership model | Deeded ownership | Land-lease (Hometown America) | Land-lease (operator) |

Over 20 years, the own-the-land buyer at Villages is ahead by $144,000 to $350,000 vs. Pine Lakes, while also owning real property that holds resale value on deeded land. The comparison against Orchard Ranch shows a smaller but still significant advantage.
