...will be the best sales point for the Villages. Many communities like Sun City (where my parents have a place) is mainly a snow bird community and so there is less attention paid to the amenities.

As the baby boomers retire many will not want to own two places and so a year round >55 community would have a big draw. Also the sheer size will help keep the amenities on track, however after the build out occurs, I could easily see the fees double. While the $125 fee is limited to inflation, if I remember correctly, new fees would likely spring up.

As I will be relocating from Boston, TV is a huge bargain and it will be a pleasure to join you!
