amenity fees are not $500 and yes all residents pay the same. Ours is like $160 as far as new vs existing. It depends on what you want to do and if you want to pay the bond? I am not sure what the bond is but I am assuming it is quite high. Be mindful of the Turnpike and get a good Villages person to show you around.

Its not rocket science if you have bought real estate before. Do you have a dog? Check out the neighbors first. I would not buy anywhere if I didn't meet the neighbors on either side. It can be a total nightmare if you get the wrong person.

We are so lucky with neighbors it is a blessing, There are horror stories about others so buyer beware.

Doesn't everyone pay the same? Thanks in advance for the info and advice. Excited to see all the Villages offers!
