Village of Del Mar, Lady Lake (Lake County)

Repainting Early-1990s Homes in the Village of Del Mar

Del Mar sits right by Spanish Springs Town Square in Lady Lake, and Del Mar Drive runs all the way to the square. Its homes date mostly from 1992 and 1993 and include block-and-stucco houses, so a repaint here is often as much about stucco repair as it is about color.

Living on the doorstep of Spanish Springs

Del Mar is right next to Spanish Springs Town Square. Del Mar Drive is a street address for businesses on the square itself, and the residential streets of the village sit just off it on the Lady Lake side of The Villages, in Lake County.

Listing records on Del Mar Drive show homes built mostly in 1992 and 1993. One listing describes a block-and-stucco house from 1992, a model called the Santiago, and courtyard villas are found nearby. These are some of the older homes in The Villages, and many have likely been repainted before.

Why a Del Mar repaint starts with stucco

Thirty-plus years on a block-and-stucco wall leaves marks. We deal with them before paint, not after.

Crack repair

Settling and heat cycles open hairline cracks. We fill, texture-match and prime them.

Old coat cleanup

Layers of earlier paint can chalk and lift. We softwash, scrape and sand until the surface is sound.

Two finish coats

With caulk and tape done, two full coats go on walls, trim, fascia and doors.

Courtyard villas

Smaller villa exteriors nearby get the same prep, with attention to walls shared with a neighbor.

Village Center CDD rules

What are the color rules for a Del Mar home?

Del Mar does not have a district of its own. Its paint rules come from the Village Center Community Development District, which covers the Lady Lake side. Under its rules, repainting in your home’s original construction color is not considered an alteration. Pick something else and it goes before the Architectural Review Committee, unless your choice already appears on the palette in force at the time.

Owners here who disagree with a committee decision have a 30-day window to take it to the Village Center CDD board. We would rather avoid that step altogether, so we help you confirm the rule and prepare the Architectural Review Application with Community Standards, (352) 751-3912, before any paint is bought.
