We absolutely loveThe Villages but at the time couldn’t buy for family reasons but the fact that the residents seemed so UNFRIENDLY made us delay our decision even more.. We were great renters and stayed in some beautiful homes. We tried to establish neighborhood friendships with no luck at all, very unfriendly place. It wasn’t until recently we realized there was this renter bias. Not fully understanding it sure gave us a bad impression. Think about it the next time you aren’t friendly and welcome a renter. Like us they may feel they are residents just waiting for the right time to buy. We probably would have a house in The Villages if residents would have been more friendly.
So I should be happy and friendly that my neighbor turned the house next to me into a motel.
Sure I just love new neighbors every week/month it has such a great neighborhood feel to it.

TV was never meant to be a time share or resort so yes the neighbors are not going to be that friendly.
