I have to ask the OP....do you stay in your neighborhood w/out venturing out, where you live now?? The Villages is made up of neighborhoods with names...hence the name "villages". When it was 1st created it was small w/out a lot of amenities. From what I've heard, back in the day, folks had to go to Leesburg or Ocala to do ALL of their shopping (groceries etc). Now we don't need to do that. Certainly each neighborhood has it's own pool and district rec. center with it's pool that's devoted to families (for when the kids/grandkids come to visit. We also have sports pools that are for residents only. The squares (I think) were built to give us a "home-town" feel. IF you haven't visited...then you must as we just can't describe it here in a way that gives it justice. You "have to" experience it for yourself!
