- The $900 is quite high compared to mine
- The $25 increase (about 3%) looks like it might be due to inflation
- My $47 increase (7.5%) is more than double inflation

No maintenance assessments in my neck of the woods.
So a little history trivia: I worked briefly for a shop in The Villages after moving here a few years ago. One of the shop owners was the granddaughter of one of the horse farm owners in the area. She told me about her family history in the area. That area is now the Village of Country Club Hills. There is a road named after her family in the Historic section, as well. South of that was citrus farms (thus, Orange Blossom Gardens). West Boone came out onto 441 (at the Boone Gate), and everything west of that was more horse farms and citrus farms, with a few cow pastures. If I remember correctly - the road we now know as Morse Boulevard existed, but wasn't called that, and wasn't as wide, didn't have golf cart lanes, and obviously didn't go to all those village neighborhoods since they hadn't been built yet and were still farms.
Here's a picture of Orange Blossom Gardens from 1975:
