I researched where was the best place to retire and chose The Villages. I paid for my home and continue to pay a monthly amenities fee to maintain the lifestyle of my community.
I have read many posts where people who have decided to move to other retirement communities want what I PAY FOR. I personally have spoken to some of these people who live in outside communities who brag about their larger homes for less money, etc.
There has to be a bottom line....you chose to live there, you get what you paid or are paying for. I live here and get what I paid or am paying for.
I went to the Stonecrest website and believe that there is a big misconception on it.
Stonecrest Country Club - Armstrong Homes - Active Adult Living Florida
They are publicizing (promoting) that their residents can take a golf cart ride to ALL THE AMENITIES IN THE VILLAGES.
Medical facilities can be reached by car. Stonecrest and any other communities could make arrangements for thei residents.
