But… no one told me about them either. I was given the specific deed restrictions AFTER I signed the documents, in fact, after closing. It did not bother me only because my parents already told me what it was like to be told what you need to do in TV.
When one says, no one tells me what to do with my property, really, what about property taxes? Right away someone is telling you what to do. Personal freedom only goes so far. However, I can understand the surprise of someone who has never lived in a deed restricted place to suddenly, without warning, be facing it. I recommend one try it for a while. They might get to like it.

Precisely. BTW, just curious did you buy a pre-owned home from a realtor, or a home from The Villages sales? I just ask, because our buying experience was excellent and we were not rushed, and we got to read everything and ask as many questions as we wanted, while staff brought us refreshments. It was the most pleasant home buying experience we have ever had. It always surprises me when someone says they didn't get to read the docs before signing.
I don't doubt you, I am just curious if some Villages sales staff are different or if the routine you mentioned was from an outside relator.
