As a Villager YOU are paying a premium because you have golf cart access to anything within The Villages owned property. Stonecrest does not pay that premium is more than welcome to come into the Squares in their street vehicles to shop and enjoy the entertainment, I believe Stonecresters are very nice people. Also take into consideration that soon Spruce Creek would have been able to use the same access. My friend, who lives in Spruce Creek, was looking forward to using that entrance and has made abundantly clear that she would never buy in The Villages, too expensive, (money is not an issue for her).
We have been reassured in these postings that only a couple of Stonecrest carts use this path so that impact should be very slight to that community but I already know one Spruce Creek resident excited about the highway crossing opening up so she could use The Villages cart paths.

Still a very small percentage at most. In the beginning there was more incentive to go to the shops at SS. However now with Wal-Mart, Lowes, Bells, Cracker Barrel, Sonic and soon access to the Mikiee dees and the Shops of Spruce Creek the incentive diminished. Outside Golf Carts are allowed in Stonecrest through the front gates. Although many people say they are headed to the restaurant or golf course there is no one traveling around checking who and where a golf cart originates.
