When you look at the entire package of what is available here, none can come close.
A good many were less expensive than TV, some were more. TV was at about the 80th percentile for price, but at the top when you looked at all that was offered and available as far as activities and surrounding services.
If the initial price is the main concern, this is not the place. If you're looking for a place to settle down and die in your old age this isn't for you. If you're looking to live and have fun in your golden years, welcome to The Villages.

Agreed! It looks like you might be one of the few who really did some exploring. One problem though...our golden years can suddenly be filled with health issues.
