I much prefer The Villages.

Robson has several high-end developments in Arizona and one outside Austin, TX.
However, Robson, as well as other similar retirement developments, has a golf course, a fancy clubhouse, tennis courts, and a restaurant. For anything else, from a loaf of bread to a pair of flip-flops, you have to go outside the gates, and not in a golf cart. For a doctor or dentist, you are likely to have to drive many miles.
There is no place like The Villages. The only thing I can think of that I need but can't buy in The Villages is a set of tires for our car. Even then, they are available just outside TV.
