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

You apparently have absolutely no idea what the Villages is, and are collecting obsolete information from limited resources, and filling in the blanks with stuff you make up.
1. The villages is over 125,000 people, a good chunk of whom are snowbirds, with many who rent the vacant homes owned by those snowbirds when the snowbirds are "up north."
2. There are over 3000 clubs, most of which are not exclusive to singles. There are a handful of clubs dedicated to singles.
3. There are homes for most budgets, including some in the low $100,000's. The lower end had prior owners, but they're available for sale. The person living in the $100,000 home will pay the same $164 (or whatever) amenity fee that the guy moving into the $2million home next week, each month, and be entitled to the same amenities that the guy in the mansion can access, for that monthly fee.
4. The Villages isn't a singular community. It is a series of smaller communities (why it's called the VillageS...not the Village), clustered together by a single Developer; a planned community of clusters. Basically, it's a small city or large suburban town (depending on your definition). Every town I've ever been in had neighborhoods. Each neighborhood had its own feel, its own personality. This is true for the Villages.
5. Rather than come here complaining about a place you obviously have NO actual knowledge of, maybe come visit. If you end up not liking it, at least it'll be because you actually discovered that you don't like it. Instead of not liking some fictional accounting of a place that isn't what the Villages actually is.
