The Villages is not a gated community. Non residents are readily allowed through the gates of most communities. Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter Landing are both open to the public. Many teenagers attend the movie theatres. Most roads are public roads, owned by the county and not by The Villages.

There are many teenagers who attend the Village Charter Schools. And who are visiting their grandparents. They use the library after school, and the restaurants and stores. Which they are perfectly within their rights to do.
