I continue to be amazed by the people who want to be negative about the Villages but still chose to take part in what is offered. And before the negative comments roll in, I have been coming to the Villages since 1998 and have owned here for 8 years. Oh, and her reason for still coming here; she doesn't have those amenities where she chose to buy, even though she champions the lack of amenity fees she pays.

If a non-villager wants to enjoy some of our amenities, the extra $$ that they have to pay should be a win for both sides of the argument. Keep in mind that any non-resident restrictions could create a hassle for our guests too. The continuous access of non-residents to our community can also help insure a perpetual increase in home values, as demand continues to grow for this exposure.
