In my opinion the engineering is exceptional. In the benefit of hindsight, I think the northern sections of the villages would have been designed differently had the eventual growth/size of the population been anticipated. The Villagers is the first ever retirement community of this scale, so it was somewhat of a learn as you go process. This can easily be observed by the different designs/layout as you go from north to south. This is most evident by the roads, golf cart traveling options, tunnels/bridges, and recreation facilities. That being said, we have no major problem with the design/engineering of the north as evident by the fact we bought a wonderful home north of 466.
