I doubt the Villages installs induction routinely. An induction range is around $3,000. I have one and love it.

The only requirement for induction is the pan needs to be magnetic. The stronger the magnetic attraction, the better the induction.

My pans are All-Clad, and I love them. They are very heavy, though. A person with weak or arthritic hands would have a hard time with them.
