Food for thought
 

Gee didn't they tell you that you get fitted with an ankle monitor when you move into a Village so you can't leave it? Of course we go outside of our respective Villages. This is not a prison.

To say that sirens were constantly being sounded was just too much of an exaggeration to not comment on.
I don't recall complaining about any large print.

I did not say younger. Just an active lifestyle community.
As to the rest of your reply.........I have no idea the relevance to this thread.

For that time frame it was not an exaggeration at all

Can you take a Golf Cart along 466 for shopping, restaurants etc. I know you can't take it on the road but are there golf cart trails along the sides? I took my car up there when I was at TV in December, and I saw some carts in the parking lots, but I didn't notice any golf cart lanes and wondered how they got to the parking lots?

What happens to the old people
 

We are among the younger active Villagers. However, we chose to move into one of the older, established, villages. We love the location and unique modified homes. We also love our neighbors, most of whom would be considered old by many posters. If health allows, they remain active. If in poor health, neighbors help them in any way possible. As a result, aging in place is more common here than in other communities where we have lived. When we were looking to move to a retirement community, the ability to age in place was a prime consideration. So many retirement places are isolated from needed srevices and distances to stores, restaurants, and doctors would result in long drives that would make it difficult for seniors to reach on their own or with the help of caring, but also, elderly neighbors. As for the healthy, but older, Villagers, they continue to golf, participate in other sports, eat out, and otherwise enjoy the amenities offered here. Our 87 year old neighbor continues to golf on the championship courses and routinely scores under his age! He also works part-time at a country club pool and is one of the few Villagers we know who does all his lawn maintenance!

Once to the shopping areas you can drive around the parking lots.

Exactly. Thank you.
 

Exactly. Thank you. We did.

We seem to know a few clones of your neighbors

It is not much too hot to use the golf cart. We travel about 60% of the time in the golf cart and live here full time. It's all in what you get used to. We have 14,000 miles on our golf cart and it's less than 3 years old. Also I live near a busy street and have never said to myself in 6 years that there are so many ambulances that actually made me even notice it. No matter where you live there are ambulances.

Amen!

Regarding the comment earlier "running constantly (ambulances)"

I played 18 holes at Lopez Country club (on the North side of the Villages)
and my partner remarked" I didn't hear any sirens" (for the 4 hours).
