I did notice the Alden Bungalows pool was 99% adults, 99% lifestyle visitors and very friendly. Alden Bungalows has a gate without a visitor's entrance and without an attendant....giving you the feeling that we are truly a gated community, for only those with a gate card can enter. This is not the case for most of the other gates in the villages....anyone can visit. The golf cart that comes with the lifestyle preview can only go 12 mph. That is not the true feel of golf cart travel in the villages. Cell service is questionable in most of the Alden Bungalows due to the radiant barriers built into the roof....we could not get our phones to work in the home, but they work outside. The Bungalows are clean, well built, light and bright inside and quite lovely. The walking distance to Brownwood square is also quite nice. I think the "feel" of the villages comes more from the activities.....try to do as many as your visit allows. Take the 3 trolley tours to get a nice overview of the three areas. Spanish Springs tour focuses on the history. Lake Sumter trolley tour focuses on the lifestyle. Brownwood and Fenney tour focus on the expansion. Enjoy!

12 MPH ???
