The Village of Bradford is part of The Villages master-planned community and operates under the Village Community Development District No. 13 (CDD 13) rather than a traditional homeowners association. The CDD handles maintenance of common areas, infrastructure, and deed compliance.
No traditional HOA fees apply. Residents pay a monthly amenity fee (approximately $204 for new buyers as of 2026, billed with utilities) for access to recreation and lifestyle amenities. CDD maintenance assessments and bond payments vary by property and appear on tax bills; specific amounts require address lookup at districtgov.org. Transfer fees, capital contributions, and special assessments information unavailable from public sources.
Deed restrictions govern exterior modifications, landscaping, parking, rentals, and age requirements (55+ community). Architectural Review applications are required for changes and processed through District Government Community Standards. General standards emphasize maintenance of property appearance and compliance with recorded covenants.
Amenities include access to the Bradford Recreation Center (adult pool, bocce, shuffleboard), community-wide executive golf courses, numerous recreation centers, pools, parks, trails, and fitness facilities across The Villages. Gated elements and 24-hour community watch provide security.
Residents enjoy an active 55+ lifestyle with golf cart-friendly paths, thousands of clubs and activities, nightly entertainment at town squares, and a focus on social connection and recreation in a low-maintenance environment.
