Of course, there is no place like The Villages so who really knows---most of us will have "passed" by build out anyway---a sobering thought.
Amenities are still under the control of the CDD and if residents ever get control, clubs will form to squeeze out seasonal residents. It has happened in a lot of over 55 communities but not here, thank God. In places like Sun City Hilton Head, Clubs have overtaken many activities ( they want year rounders) and that is why you don't see many snowbirds there. Result..my home here has gone up about 35% since I bought in 2007.while the home I own and rent in SCHH has declined 25% since 2007. I am not trying to be negative, only to present the facts as they are.
