This is what I love about Talk of the Villages!

Now...to answer the OP's question, yes, the bond in the far flung Villages to the south would be a dealbreaker. In fact, it was a deal breaker when I bought in January. I opted to buy a resale close to Lake Sumter with no bond. It's 14 years old with the original roof, but the cost of renovations will be less than the bond, and I'm in a location that can't be beat.
