If you want to move because the developer lied about how far it is to Orlando go ahead if those extra 10 miles are significant. If you want a reason look at the greed the developers show by continuing to build long after they were suppose to build this community out. Now they are putting in apartments and going to create an area by Finney that is not age restricted and will have apartments and low cost housing for people who work in the Villages. Should be interesting how that works out.

There are and always have been areas for people to live who work for and in The Villages and the developer has built them. They are not part of The Villages and do not have use of our amenities. I wouldn't call them "low cost housing". They are the same prices as many ranches and designers and premier homes.
The apartments are new and I bet they too will be a success. Many of us are thinking about our future with less space and stuff to take care of as we age and not ready for the "home".
The latest video from The Morse family explained that the three of them did pause and think to stop building but they decided to go on. It isn't just the three of them you know. Their business keeps literally thousands of people employed around here. I like how they do things. I am glad they will be here for awhile to keep things nice.
