We've been renting a house in The Villages during the month of December for several years now. We think the Villages is a great place, maybe too good to be true. When we first took our lifestyle preview (back in the days when there was a waiting list for housing) we were tempted to buy. My wife, being more skeptical than me, would ask questions to the real estate agent. Who exactly is "The Villages"? Where is the "government"? Who has a say around here? Needless to say, the answers given were both misleading and confusing. Consequently, we never bought, but always look forward to renting a couple of months in this adult wonderland. It is great. However, we feel that the system that helped to develop The Villages is bogus, and that all the residents may soon find themselves left with a rude surprise. In light of what is going on now, I certainly will continue to rent and not buy.
