See the regularly updated schedule for the sports pools in the link below.

I just saw your reply. Thanks so much for taking the time to provide this info. We will be there in a few months (Christmas 2021). Rented a house for 8 nights through V-r-B-o. This is the second visit with more to come until we call The Villages home in four years. Anyway, we are paying the $50 for the resident ID and with it can use the sport pools. :-) 120+ pools plus a gazillion other things to do. That place is simply amazing!

I believe the one at Colony is about the same, and the one at Lake Deaton Plaza I believe it was 54,000 square feet.

The Villages Florida
Our VA clinic in Atlanta is so jacked up that we don't use it. What is the wait time to be seen at one in the Villages and how is the quality of care?

We just bought in the Villages and would have bought in a "family unit" area if we had known since we have a 15 year old. Can you tell me which subdivisions are "family units"? Thanks!
I also have a 15 year old and am waiting for the Villages to build Middleton.That is suppose to be the Village for Parents with Children looking to work in The Villages and send their children to the newest Highschool.
Does anyone know when Middleton will start to build and sell homes?

Well they are making you pay well for that growth with bonds property tax increases plus a monthly “amenity fee” I think it’s rather great they have it down to such an easy way to expand..

There is no HOA, and thus no Association Manager in The Villages. There are two groups that will represent the resident's interests - The Villages Home Owners Advocates and the Property Owners Association (VHA and POA respectively), but they have neither power nor authority to affect any change, implement any policy, nor enforce any rules. The reality is that they are little more than social organizations.
Operation and maintenance of the community falls to the Community Development District (CDD) governmental body, a special purpose government under Florida Statute chapter 190. There are currently 16 residential CDDs and 5 commercial CDDs within the boundaries of The Villages communities.
Yep, it's a bit complicated, but it has proven itself to be highly effective for the community for over 30 years. For more information about the governance of The VIllages go to districtgov.org
