When we bought our first home in 2009 my realtor pointed out that what you are buying in The Villages is the Lifestyle. Whether we purchased a $200K home or million dollar home, all amenities are open to all residents. We all enjoy the same country clubs, pools , golf courses, rec centers and social clubs. It’s like being a kid again…I get to go out everyday and play with my friends.
When I compare our amenity fees to other communities with HOA’s this Lifestyle is still an incredible bargain.
The day may come when I am no longer active in the community, due to health reasons. If I find the fees onerous, or can’t get the care that I require, I might need to look elsewhere.
I hope that day never comes.
