The Villages was more of a gated community when I moved here in 2000. You either had to have a card to enter a gate or you had to enter at a guard station.

This changed when they started building south of 466 and Sumter County balked at maintaining the roads if they had limited access. So the developer and SC reached an agreement that the county would maintain the roads and the gates could be opened by anyone at the touch of a button.
