Yes, true. But a well placed pseudo bump doesn't hurt either

A couple of points.
Don't know who lives here and who chooses not to live here. The Villages were compared to a college campus. No one said anything about not being able to leave campus. Look at the number of posts on this thread. If you read them all, some you will agree with, some you won't. |

This thread started to stray too far into politically charged territory, so, according to forum guidelines, the related posts were moved to the political forum where that discussion can continue in earnest.
The Villages - political leanings, censorship The above link will take you to the new thread in the political forum. Remember, the political forum is an opt-in. You have to subscribe to it to see it. Now...... back to the discussion on likes and dislikes about The Villages. |

My negatives.
Lack of Privacy! Lack of Privacy! Lack of Privacy! We chose to build on a "lake" so we wouldn't have someone directly behind us, but we didn't take into consideration neighbors who make it their business to know everything that goes on around them and intrude whenever we attempt to entertain company on our own lanai. 10 ft or a little more away from neighbors with no fences means you and your neighbors can see each other inside your homes. One of our neighbors told us what she saw sitting on our dresser!
We built in The Villages many years ago, when it was a friendlier place before Harold passed away. The friendly hometown atmosphere that existed at that time is gone. We also built in The Villages because we were sold the premise of a PRIVATE gated community. We traveled 1/2 the year, and wanted that kind of security for our home in our absence. It didn't take long to realize that the only "perk" from being residents with a gate pass, is that it takes us longer to get through the gates. Perhaps if it were a true gated community with all the security that entails, our home would not have been robbed. If you and your spouse agree to move here, may I suggest that it is a totally mutual decision without pressure. If one person isn't sold on the idea it can lead to a lot of resentment. In all our years here, we've seen that lead to disaster many times. Call us grumpy if you want, but we are no longer brainwashed by the advertisement. I would suggest renting for a while first. |

As for snoopy neighbors, ours are not that way at all (old f*rts peeking thru the blinds, looking for gossip material because they have nothing better to do). They are so active and busy outside the house and neighborhood that they have OTHER INTERESTS to occupy themselves with. As for the home break-in and theft described above, there are security systems and monitoring available for that. |
