The sliders and windows were so thin that they should be illegal. Truth be told the house was poorly made and the Samsung appliances were the cheapest quality I’ve ever seen. TV and Samsung should be ashamed of themselves. No discount price at all! Well trained sales staff. Only took us a couple months to wise up that The Villages doesn’t give a rats ass about you. They just try to get every last dime out of your pocket...almost elder abuse. We found the people extremely snooty as well. Sold the house 5 months later and got the heck out of there. What’s up with the pumping stations and the smell? The workers put all sorts of debris down the pipes. Hey, I could go on for a long time but don’t put blame on people for buying there. Put the blame where it belongs on TV. Showing you houses when the noise is low and promising that if anything is wrong in the first year they correct it.

when there is no highway noise , the appliances are adequate, didn’t you have option to upgrade appliances, I’ve owned 5 new homes in villages and windows and slider still seem to be working well even in the first home 20 years ago and still has first roof ( I have friends who bought it ) I would also like to know how you were able to sell in 5 months when there always was a restriction of a year , it might come in handy for me in future. As far as people being snobby , I read this post and can see why they might have been to you
