I live with no back neighbors, lots of trees, no bond.
Never seen anyone drunk on a golf cart, do my own insecticide and have zero bug problems.
Traffic is no issue.
Some of my fortunes may be luck but most is due diligence.

Hmm, are you sure you live in The Villages? My experience with traffic and drunks in golf carts is different than yours.
Our feeling is nothing is ever perfect, and that holds true for The Villages.We've met some wonderful people, and we do enjoy the choice of activities. On the downside is the the sheer size of the Villages. The population has doubled since we moved here and we really can notice the increase in traffic and the numbers of people vying for space in restaurants and some of the classes at certain times of year. I gave up trying to do zumba. Just didn't want to get to a class an hour ahead of time just to get a spot. The condition of the golf courses has also been a huge disappointment. And we've experienced nasty behavior from other residents when our political views did not coincide with theirs, something we never went through up north. That was really a shocker. But we feel the plusses outweigh the minuses. And once you get settled in, buy a house, make friends, etc., its hard to pull up stakes and start over again at this age.
