I think many if not most retirement communities offer better bang for the buck in terms of home and building lot quality/pricing compared to The Villages. That said, we liked the number and variety of activities in The Villages, so it was a trade-off for us. We've been able to explore new hobbies and activities that we would not have had the chance to be exposed to in other communities. And we were younger when we retired here. As we age, and decide we need a more subdued lifestyle we may move. Already we hate the increase in traffic in the Villages that came as a result of population growth.
