Residents were upset swimming in the building with hidden mold abd not knowimg it. Indoor pools and hot tubs are very difficult to maintain but perhaps in SCTX where the humidity is lower it is not so much a problem. Our indoor pool was not always accessable since it seemed to be used a lot by fee based activities like water aeoebics, also lap swimmers roped off one half of the pool etc. As it was we had only one indoor pool for 13,000 residents, about the same ratio as SCTX. Our state of the art fitness centers(2) were also very crowdedbut that seems to be the case no matter where you go. In the final analysis, we have to go where it suits us. If that means indoor pools or an IKEA store we have to go for it.

More seniors probably care more about being close to quality health care than they care about close proximity to IKEA. IKEA is definitely a young person's store, since you have to cart everything home and put it together.
The OP definitely did his due diligence on The Villages and apparently found a place better suited for him and his wife. Good luck Dave. Wishing you many years of happiness in your new abode.
