A truly gated community of 2800 homes with 3 active community centers, 3 pools, one is Olympic size, and pickle ball courts, tennis courts, golf course and many other activities. I would guess this same home in the villages would be $220,000 or so. The hoa is $95 a month, my electric about $70 a month, water and sewer about $70 a month. My total to live here about $400 a month including taxes, insurance, utilities and hoa. Just writing this to let you know there are other very nice alternatives to the Villages that are more affordable. Also you can drive to the Villages and enjoy the entertainment for free and also the shopping.

so true......we are in the process of closing the sale of our Village rental home and settling back in to The Plantation.... full time.
there are 40 homes for sale here .... and to my knowledge of owning here for the past 11 years,we have never had a sinkhole......plus the gate guards are top notch.....
Also, the villages is coming closer to us....hopefully with new commercial ventures and resturants....
