Re: On top of the World prices compared to The Villages
OTOTW is very nice, and quite typical of the several dozen planned retirement communities in Florida and elsewhere.* They have their requisite club house and pool and golf course or two.* And OTOTW has an advantage over many other formula retirement developments in that they are close to a moderate-sized urban area (Ocala).
The Villages is not a formula development - or at worst, it is a formula development on steroids that morphed into something quite unique.* It is definitely one of a kind in the nation in scale, growth, quality, amenity/activity set, and "sense of community", a rare and highly sought after feature.
