Home prices in TV are higher because of the lifestyle, so if it were me, I'd go with a community with fewer amenities and lower prices.
Moving here from the Washington DC area caused my living costs to decrease by about 70 percent. So, price was not a factor at all. And, the monthly amenity fee here is less than my previous HOA fee that only included a swimming pool, a clubhouse, and private road maintenance. I have visited several other housing developments around The Villages, but I think that The Villages is just better in terms of safety, attractiveness, friendliness, and maintenance.
