Villages living only on Social Security
 

gobankingrates.com has rated TV as the 5th place in FL where you only need SS to live. They claim you can get a 1br rental for $756 a month and total expenditures $1593 a month. Wat a joke!

One bedroom apartments at The Lofts start at $1,600 per month. I don't know of any other one bedroom apartments available in The Villages.

Exactly, total misinformation!

There are some rent controlled senior housing areas near, but not in the villages. I think the actual rent is contingent on certain levels of income.

$1593/month or $1593/DAY:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Rented our 3/2 2 years ago $1500 a month with no golf cart. Now probably 2K+. Buyer/renter beware of this article.

It can be done if you own home free and clear and live rather frugally.

Perhaps a year ago, before hyper inflation. Very difficult now unless you never go out and live on ramen noodles.

Villages is in top 70 of places with millionaires per capita. Why LSL full of wealth management. Must be talking about historic section that needs a bulldozer

I heard they're putting affordable housing in the Villages soon. It will be a lottery and need to meet low income financial requirements.
Government says TV needs to be more diverse and open to everyone.

The good news is you know the study is flawed.

The purpose of these "studies" is to draw clicks to a website, not to inform. Of course they are going to say crazy things, that's how they get clicks.

Where did you hear this?

How in the world can a place like this be open to everyone?

It’s not a joke. This is one of the cheapest places you’ll find. Home prices are low, as well they should considering the quality and small sizes of the houses. Even rent is low here compared to Orlando and Miami.

Everyone gets a different amount of SS so this doesn’t make sense.
