Been here 8 1/2 years and love it as much as the first day. The changes have been positive - The Sharon, Rohan, Eisenhower, many new restaurants, shops etc. I'm also amazed at the maintenance and upkeep of all the wonderful facilities. It is more crowded in season but manageable. There are options if you don't want to go to the "free" classes at the rec centers. The Lifelong Learning College has many fitness classes and you are guaranteed a spot - same with MVP. As I read this thread, it appears that others have experienced far more horror stories with bad drivers than I. I can't say I've ever had a near miss. Yes there are some speeding drivers but that's fairly ubiquitous throughout the country. I love the activity choices, good neighbors, tennis friends, bridge group, the nightly entertainment at the squares and the beautiful landscaping etc. I volunteer at the Villages hospital and it is definitely improving. I tell everyone that moving to The Villages was the best decision we've ever made.
