The Villages has nothing to do with the upkeep of that pool and the surrounding park - no money is spent by the villages. We pay to the HOA $65 a month to maintain the pool and park grounds. We also pay the amenity fees to the villages. It is private and only for use by the residents that live there. It is not voluntary - if you buy there you pay the HOA. The board members also live there and follow all HOA guidelines. There is a history as to why this exists - apparently some people from Great Britain asked the Villages to build them an area to live in and turn it over to them to maintain. The villages did just that however now there are only a few Britains left but the original concept remains. It seems that those villas sell well as people like the privacy they have. This is the real answer to the original post.
