Like you I have been reading this site gathering info for our future move.
I read the convenats from the district site and it has the amenities fee adjusting with the cost of living index. This is the fee for the community centers maintence of the golf courses etc. So if I read it right it is whatever it is set at when the property was first built and then has gone up with inflation.
I have two suggestions first buy the online book "Don't even think of moving to the villages without reading this book" It is in a yellow box on the top left of the home page. It has good overview info and many links. It is copies of a cross section of answers to questions about moving to the villages from this site.
Second if you want to see the villages on a rough map this site
http://thevillagesforrent.com/maps/index.htm has one it has one error Mira Mesa area 31 on the map isn't listed in the list.
It also has listings of for sale by owner. If you are going to buy previously owned inorder to see everything you have two work with two salespeople. One with the villages, and another that is a realtor that is a member of the MLS. The listings that the villages have are not in the MLS and the ones in the MLS are not shown by a villages sales agent.
Hope this helps.
