Have you priced Independent Living Facilities? $1700 is a bargain. Plus... you still have access to all Villages amenities.

I know a few people (in their early 80's) that think the Brownwood Lofts are very appealing.

And I don't think people are going to move to the apartments for the swim up bar. I'm saying that as a Villager resident with access to the apartment amenities, I'M interested in the swim up bar.
