From what I have read on this site I can see we made the right move out of" The Villages" in 2020. Wish all home purchasers South of CR-44 the best of luck awaiting the creation of "Shopping, "Town Square", and enough Recreation Centers for everyone's convenience.

It won't be long, before TV North & TV South, are distinguished by different names ... just as the original trailer park area has been re-named "The Historic District".
Schwartz & Morse deserved accolades for what they did. The bought junk land in the middle of no where and from whole clothe, created a resort/city/community that provided what people wanted at the time. The "Field of Dreams", in a real life application. "Build it and they will come".
The next generation of the family, doesn't appear quite so smart or visionary.
They haven't created anything, other than housing. The sad truth, is the housing they've been creating is no different than subdivisions all over Florida, other than the location ... which is still in the middle of no where, surrounded by nothing.
