The Villages is growing so fast they can’t keep up. The cities have jumped in on the gold mine with the villages and are annexing in the property so you will pay both annual county and city taxes, plus a bond to the villages, an annual maintenance fee plus a fire dept fee. ( plus your monthly amenity fee)
Reality living in the Florida villages is not cheap. It all adds up. Do your research before you buy.
(Note there are also a lot of outsiders who illegally use the village’s amenities pools, courts rec centers, events etc) People wait for front desk person to leave then go in rec centers or bypass and use back doors.
Villages’s need to check every ID when they check the pool ids And maybe do random check ids in the rooms. They have to have maximum capacity in these rec centers but some things get way over crowded.
There is just no way to fool proof and monitor the amount of people.
