One of the great features of the Villages is that you buy the lifestyle when you buy your home, whether a manufactured home or a premier home, or anything in between. The amenity fee pays for the fabulous lifestyle and you can enhance it as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. If you like to eat out you have so many terrific choices at a variety of resturaunts that you can spend as little as $20 per couple to $100 or more per couple. If you want to play golf you can spend $20 to $60 per round at an 18 hole layout, or you can golf the execs for the trail fee ( or walk for free). You can do happy hour at home for as little as $.50 a drink or you can go to the squares, or any number of watering holes and spend $2-$5 per drink. The point is that you can enjoy a vigorous and entertaining lifestyle for just about as much or as little as your budget allows. Personally I like to eat out often and play championship golf once or twice a week, so I am probably in the $2-$2.5k a month range, but I could easily cut that down if I felt pinched.
