If a retail business would consider opening in Ocala, they should consider The Villages. There are more people here and it's centrally located between Ocala and Leesburg, the other two major population centers.

Cosco doesn't give two ****es about the disabled. We had multiple experiences in Jacksonville to verify it.

Mobile Homes for sale in the historic district are not new, they may be nice, but $145K will not get you the same home I showcased. In fact, in this area, brand new manufactured homes in a retirement setting with golf course, pool, club house, can only be found in Water Oak Estates. There a new manufactured home of equal value is selling for $160,000 plus. The home I displayed at $145K was actually the most expensive in Rolling Greens, they have many new homes on the market for well under $100K. For example, this home is for sale in Rolling Greens for $74,000. I'm sure there is no mobile home on the historic side that can compare at this price. |

$150,000. But you are absolutely correct. You can buy homes at all price levels for less money outside The Villages. The old adage in real estate is that location is everything. But as you say, if you are unhappy here, there are plenty of other places you can go.

18 holes of executive golf vs. 306 holes of championship and 342 holes of executive golf Looks like one rec center vs. many dozens looks like 1 or 2 pools vs. about a hundred can you go to the store in a golf cart? Or to restaurants? Their "golf course" is 2500 yds., has 5 par 4's , 4 of which are between 160 and 180 yds., and the "long" one is 272 yds. The longest par 3 is 138 yds. They need to check on what qualifies as a par 4, to start with. Then maybe add a few windmills and clown heads, and hand out putters with the colored rubber balls. Then it MIGHT be a challenge, maybe not. No thanks, I think I'll be staying here. |

You list the facilities here like options on a car. I have not been in a rec center since April 2014 when I took a zumba class with my wife. I joined MVP in May of 2014 and that place has totally consumed my free time for the most part, and yet it is not part of TV amenties. I've been in the neighborhood pool once in the last 3 years. I don't play pickleball, or tennis and I would of said softball here was my biggest draw. However, last year after I had pneumonium I was diagnosed with COPD and I can no longer run any great distance. I think amenties are different to every person. I haven't played an executive course since 2013. They just aren't that much fun to me. The championship courses I would love to play more, but for $55 a round I've been stuck playing just 9 holes all winter. Now with summer, we have the great prices and I need to make up for lost time. My biggest draws to TV are the Villages Medicare Advantage, no premiums can't be beat. Also the VA Medical Facility at Mulberry is great for me, I get care there plus my medications. The music at the squares, I was there last night at LSL to see Johnny Wild for the tenth time. The movie theaters here have also drawn me back. I was never a fan of going to the mall to see movies with a million kids screaming, now it's a pleasure to go see a film. That's the things that keep me here, not 500 holes of golf when I can't afford to play 18. |

(And...my compliments for expressing a different opinion in a very non-confrontational, factual, respectful manner. That is too often lacking here. ) |
