We have friends who bought at StoneCrest that are very happy there. And we have friends who checked out the Villages, but ended up retiring further south along the Gulf, because they enjoy boating. As far as the fitness centers - we joined them the first year we were here, but had to wait in line to use the machines during the high season, unless we went late in the day which didn't fit our schedule. There are people who look askance at the small lots here and wonder why we would choose to live like that. The Villages has pluses and minuses for most people, although for us, the pluses outweighed the minuses. We all make choices, and in the long run, the Villages worked out best for us.
