Personally, I don't care to be paying amenities fees for the benefit of residents of other communities who chose NOT to come here because it was cheaper elsewhere.

Why do I say this? The pools, golf courses, rec centers, etc., have all been designed with a certain resident use load in mind. If each us brought a "guest" to the pool, think how quickly the facilities would be overloaded. Winter is a perfect example with all the family guests at the pools.

Our closest pool (Chatham) was at capacity on numerous occasions in recent weeks, and yes, we had our kids (visiting) there too, but it serves to underscore my point. Judging from the ages, 1 and up, not all the folks in the pool were Village residents.


Just curious, was this a "family" pool?

My understanding is that children under the age of 30-something are not allowed in village pools, only family pools.
