We moved here from north suburban Chicago. We loved the ‘small town feel’ of The Villages back then. Only about 35,000 people, never over-crowded, all the amenities accessible with no more than a 20- minute golf cart ride.

Now the population is near 140,000 and still growing quickly. The relationship of residents with the Developer is non-existent. The length of The Villages from CR 42 on the north to where new homes are under construction is already about 5-6 miles longer than the City of Chicago (from the Evanston border to the south suburb of Dixmoor).

That’s too big for me, way too big. I moved from a large metropolitan area. Now the crowds, traffic, etc. have followed us here.

I agree wholeheartedly with the contents of this post. True that!
