About 10 years ago, I was hiking a section of the Florida Trail near Ocala and I met a couple who said they lived at The Villages. At the time, I was aware of TV, but had only noticed it while passing by.
We talked for some time about the development, the amenities, the homes and the couple let me know they were very unhappy with their decision to buy. They were looking to sell (they said their home was for sale) and get away from the area.
Their criticism concerned prices, neighbors, rules and, generally, everything to do with The Villages. Since the real estate market was better then (this was late 2001 or early 2002), I am sure they were able to sell, probably at a profit, and move on.
As a result, I'm sure they aren't following this board and answering this question.
