Its not cheap to live in the villages even though they provide a lot . My wife doesn't play golf and I do very occasionally. She feels the monthly amenity goes a lot toward golfing . So I was curious if the CDD a general percent breakdown of the monthly amenity fee of how much goes to support golf, how much to the pools , rec. centers, community watch, etc.
Thanks

Once I settled in, I got involved with making music, and now it takes up most of my time. Most of this happens at various rec centers. I haven’t had time to play golf even once. I have my own pool, so I haven’t been to any other pools. What do I get for my money? I get miles of manicured beauty (most from the landscaping and flowers and trees and golf courses, but also plenty from everyone’s hard work keeping their places looking nice). I get the safety of living in The Villages (probably the safest city of its size in the country). A lot of employees and volunteers make that possible. I get about a hundred miles of cart paths where I can tool around if I want to. I get access to endless activities, which is why I’m having the time of my life, even though I only participate in a dozen of them. I don’t know anywhere else in the country where I could do that. If I want to go out dancing, I can do it every night of the week, for free, instead of paying to dance in some bar or ballroom or wherever other people dance. (And I can get free dance lessons if I want to get better at it.) I could go on, but I definitely consider my amenity fee money well spent.
