We will not pay for garbage, utilities or cable and we never use the owners phone as we have cell phones. Hope this helps. We do not plan on buying in the Villages as we love where we live, we just like to escape the cold from time to time.
we are renters also and have rented in Alhambra. I would NOT recommend this village. It is very small, very established and way too far from pools, golf course etc.
We look for reasonable rent (I find now it is pricing itself out of market),very clean, comfortable updated furniture...no blue carpets from the 70's, close to pools and golfing.We do like north of 466 but way more pools etc south so look there now.
Having said that prices are very high south of 466 often for what you get.
Location, cleanliness, comfort at reasonable rates and you will rent.
