The OP is talking about the back gate, off Paradise Dr, Historic Side, with golf cart access only. Those of us north of 441/27 can get to Lowes, WalMart, Aldis etc....you have to have a Villages gate key to get back in, there is no red button and no access by car, and not "supposed" to be accessible to Spruce Creek and Stonecrest residents.

Geesh, that went right over your head.

When you pay $150 for them you can have a key card. Why else would you need one unless you are using them. Those of us on limited budgets do get annoyed with these comments, and snowbirds saying they are the ones that subsidize us.... they pay $50 for up to six months use. Time for a change I think.

WHAT?? I am so tired of hearing that "snowbirds" don't pay the TV fee. Who do you think pays it? IF YOU OWN A HOUSE IN TV, YOU PAY THE FEE. Whether you use the house, whether you rent it out, or whether it sits empty, YOU PAY THE FEE! I am always surprised at the people who complain of the snowbirds. They use the facilities part-time and pay fulltime. If there were no snowbirds, you would have the crowds year round!

What? I think you are talking about renters. The owners of those TV houses they rent are paying amenity fees every month.

Not at that gate, for the obvious reason

Good answer. OP could go to Town Square & take the golf cart bridge across but, why would a non villager want to get into the villages?

tlb50 11-22-2020 08:36 AM

Are you listening to yourself? What difference does it make how he enters the Villages? He can drive his car there, spend his $ at a business, avail himself of the entertainment, so why not come in on a golf cart? I am certain the merchants in the area would welcome his business, especially in these trying times.

The historic side gate is really not very effective in stopping people from entering The Villages. From what I understand, they are allowed to cross 27/441 near the entrance of their development. That gives them access to Rio Grande which they are also allowed to cross.

The Historic Side gate only makes it less convenient for them.
