I'm concerned that the town squares would be a bit of a monopoly with little competition.

If you are looking for shopping and entertainment outside of The Villages and its immediate surounding area you are not going to find much. The Villages is a community of approximately 120,000 in season. We are pritty much self sustaining in the middle of nowhere. You can travel to Ocala or Leesburg, but combined the are smaller than The Villages. If you are looking for a highly active retirement community, this is it!! If you are looking for a city life type of community, this is not it.
