Dear Poromo.
I don't have the ability to present my ideas like my friend PTurner but I do know this. I like The Villages far better than Stonecrest. I am a golfer (of sorts) and I prefer to choose among dozens of courses rather than one and with all apologies to my friends who live in Stonecrest, it just isn't as "sparkling" as The Villages. I would guess that there isn't as much financial strength to it's backing either, since it is going up against Goliath every day.
However, If I wanted to dance every night and get drinks two for one, I could just get in my golf cart and zip over to The Villages as many Stonecrestors do and they also benefit from all of the neat retail and restaurants that the large population of The Villages has attracted.
I think that every place that you can choose to retire has some pluses and some minuses and The Villages is better and more secure than most against a potential closing.
There are no guarantees. Who knows what tomorrow will bring to anyone, anywhere? I have lived carefully and conservatively all of my life and my choice is still The Villages.
