Default Retirement community no more
What with spring break, summer vacations, holidays, Airbnb rentals and hundreds of people from neighboring developments enjoying the free entertainment and restaurants, The Villages is losing its look and feel as a retirement community. There's no slow season anymore. The cost of living is way up for amenities, utilities, taxes, recreation, home maintenance. Sooner or later, potential buyers spending time in The Villages might have second thoughts about living here. I wonder if the developer has any clue as to where the tipping point is.
