Its hard to predict the future, but the Villages has maintained a lead position in retirement communities for many years and will probably continue to do so for some years to come. I think it will depend on where the builder takes the Villages and whether they can rectify some of the creeping problems such as overcrowding and the lack of commercial establishments in the newer sections. After a few years here you begin to realize that having over 100 pickleball courts that are full constantly is no better than 8 courts in a smaller community with more availability. Anticipated Commercial business is not keeping up with the Villages expansion. With the premium price we pay to live in the Villages the comparisons to other, smaller communities may begin to be not as favorable.
