If you're a golfer and you like to be involved with other AAA personalities that speed too much then the village is perfect for you. If you want to overpay by 100% then the villages is for you. The fact is that the villages has 70,000 plus seniors having 70 square miles. That said the plus is they have 1200 clubs and activities if you're a people person. However off of route 27 and route 44 there are 10 much smaller communities with much friendlier people and housing they cost $100 or $200,000 less. If your parents want something to show off and they want to spend $700,000 they can certainly find it in the villages or if they want to spend $350,000 they can certainly find it in the villages also. You get what you don't pay for sometimes also by this I mean and if you would ask 90% of the people in any community do they swim in the pools they would say no. But they're there anyway. The very main overriding advantage of the villages is that they have plenty of golf courses and that they have something called Court accessibility to virtually all shopping and medical offices where you don't need two cars or actually even one car but you do pay for it so again if your parents can afford it they'll probably like it but I find a lot of the people here are AAA personalities
