Now at that time there was only two family villages for employees. Now there are 4. Don’t know if that is still the case or not.

I’m not going to say that what was said was not true , but this person was misinformed , there was no entry for non villager people

If these planned family developments are not part of The Villages, why would anyone care? They are necessary to the infrastructure of the local counties as well as to The Villages as they staff the businesses upon which Villagers depend for food, maintenance, lawn care, street repair, etc. etc.

If total isolation from the outside world was so important, why buy in The Villages?

They ARE part of the villages. They are a family-specific part of the Villages, that doesn't share the same amenities as the rest of the Villages. They were built by the Developer, they can be listed on the VLS (Villages Homefinder webpage), they are sold by the Villages originally, they are planned by the Villages development, and they exist primarily to provide housing for the doctors, lawyers, business owners whose business is also in the Villages.

Just because they don't get to visit the pools that the rest of the Villages gets to visit and are similarly restricted with regards to most other amenities, doesn't make them "not part of the Villages." They are absolutely part of the Villages. You know that 80/20 rule? Yeah. They make up a portion of the 20.

there are already a number of family sections in The Villages. The residents do NOT have access to the Village amenities nor do they pay amenity fees.

Bison Valley and Oak Meadows have access to MMPs.
Some consider the MMPs an amenity.
