The Villages is a great place to live, maybe even the Best place to live in the U.S., but its not Utopia. It has negatives just like anywhere else you might choose to live/retire. The Villages has changed from its original form and has grown into an ultra-large community that is not much different than any medium sized city in rural U.S. Its a safe place to live with wonderful amenities and a rich social, retirement population, but its also become overcrowded and more expensive. It may be great and wonderful for you, especially if you're a new resident, but time may also change that somewhat.
