To me that area reminds me of my vision of heaven, the other one.

I grant we could have a lot of things that we don't have, many have mentioned indoor pools, more dog parks, charging stations for golf carts, separate golf carts all over, separate walking paths all over, separate bike paths all over,someone to police the saving seats, etc. etc. etc. We have so many things here for our $135 a month and yet we want more, more, more. We could have more but someone has to pay for them.

We have things so nice that others come into our campus and try to use them. I think our ambassadors do a fairly good job of checking pool passes and definitely checking ID's on the golf courses. They are told not to be challenging or rude to anyone and I haven't run into those behaviors from the ID checkers at all.

I do agree Rubicon that you can get bigger homes and larger lots for the same money outside The Villages. But. Not many choose to do that. And if they do they want a different set of things for themselves that brought me here to Florida that I said I would NEVER live in and brought me to the happiest part of my life.

By the way, our only granddaughter graduated from college last month and started her career in television production today. Life is very good.

If you don't like it here there is absolutely no problem selling your home. We listed our home last month, had an offer in 2 days, a contract the next day for about 97-98% of the listing price which was 10% higher than we paid a year earlier. We closed 3 weeks later. We are building a home in one of the new areas with a larger garage and better view and look forward to full time residency although it won't be for a few years. If you don't like it in TV there are plenty ready to take your place.
