What one might consider cute may be considered tacky by neighbors ( please spare us pink, plastic flamingos). Shade tree mechanics operating in the front drive do nothing to enhance a neighborhood. RV,s, trailers, unlicensed vehicles and boats parked in driveways get old in a hurry. Overgrown lawns and shrubs are a blight on a neighborhood.
I am not sure what you "want to do" with your property but read the restrictions carefully and I think you will agree they are reasonable. If you find some part objectionable, just ask yourself if you can live with it in order to enjoy The Villages lifestyle.
BTW, dog rules here are very similar to many local ordinances. On a leash off your property and clean up their mess. There is a "dog run" area in The Villages plus at least one other close by.

EXCEPT - Pink Flamingos on the lawn are the State Bird of Florida, me thinks you're on Pink Flamingo overload due to 29 years living in Fla.
