The great thing about the amenities fee is that like the ads for TV say, one can live like a millionaire without actually being one.
This place makes us feel like we're millionaires even though we're not millionaires in the monetary sense. We're "millionaires" in terms of clean and beautiful communities and neighborhoods, smaller but classy homes, personal safety, neighbors, opportunities/facilities to take care of our fitness and health, golf, sunshine, and happiness. |

No matter where one lives, prices will go up if the CPI goes up. We consider this amenity fee a bargain We've lived in a place where our HOA fees were just a few dollars less than our amenity fee here and all we got was 1 pool, 2 tennis courts, a gate and common area insurance and upkeep. You can bet those fees will also rise over the next 15 years

My amenity fees in 2007 when I moved to the Villages was $133.07. This year (5 years later) it is $144.32 or an increase of $11.25 in that 5 year period. An average increase of $2.25 per year----a real baragain in my opinion.

I thought everyone paid the same amenity amount. Does anyone know why there is such a discrepancy? When we bought in 2010, our AF was $135/mo. It then went up to $138/mo in June, I believe. When we bought this house it is now back to $135/mo. I'm not complaining, just wondering if anyone knows if there is any rhyme or reason.

I'm not yet a Villager. In my currant neighborhood we pay $1100. per year for 1 tennis court and a neighborhood pool. The grounds are also kept up in common areas. This is a 110 home community.
So TV fees look really fine to me.:spoken: |

I think we should be able to use the exercise equipment in the recreational centers for free with our amenity fee.
