When you're the only game in town, you can be unreasonable with pricing, quality and playability.

In my opinion, the southern areas of The Villages are marketed with smoke & mirrors. It's nothing like northern area and never will be. It doesn't look like The Villages, it doesn't "feel" like The Villages and the demographic is different.
If you are happy in the Village that you live in, why are you so negative about where others live.
Have been in TV since 2007, LSL was a ghost town, for shopping with one grocery. SS was the established area, and that’s where we shopped. Our first area was Mallory and we choose to move farther south.

Many of us have watched as the new areas grow, new progress and in awe of what was coming. We out grew house 1 and 2. Our current house is a designer with golf cart garage, in what used to be the middle of TV

We are now building guess where to the area YOU think doesn’t feel like the villages.. this will be our Fourth house, heading south in the land you detest.

It’s OK, we hope the smoke and mirrors you speak of will keep us off everyone’s radar, and let us enjoy the Villages We pay for and enjoy living in.

You could however volunteer to buy me a free house where you think we should live, and Will gladly take your money
