Anyone else notice that some new villages do not have a neighborhood (adult only) pool? Specifically, Richmond does not appear to have one, nor does the newest Village of Newell. Also, in St. Johns, the neighborhood pool is way down at the south end, in the villa section. Not much use for those at the northern end by the Water Lilly bridge. There are the Village Rec Centers, but those are family pools. In the past, when a new village was started, the first thing built was the postal station and neighborhood pool. Has this become a thing of the past?

Need to look at the map closer or drive down.. neighborhood pools are either close to your house or farther away. You chose your house, pools were already there..Richmond’s neighborhood pools is almost done, near the walking path and dog park. For us it’s a 3 minute walk. The zero entry family pool is near gate, with workout equipment, and mailboxes is around the corner. 5 minute walk from our house. So you thoughts on no pools is not correct, since we have 2 in Richmond

Yes, it has become a thing of the past.

Our village of Osceola Hills has both an adult pool with a postal station and a family pool.

A lot of people bring their dogs to our postal station so they can crap, which I think is disgusting. In some of the new areas like Citrus Grove, dogs are banned from the postal station.

We have both and I still consider us a new area. Hammock at Fenney we have an adult pool at the mail station and the family pool at the Fenney Rec Center.

Good for you.

On the other hand, I don't think the Marsh Bend Village had an adult pool. The same with Linden.

Where is it posted that dogs are banned from postal station? I live in St Cats - virtually being built at same time as CG and i see no such ban posted anywhere. Thx.

That’s one reason to buy a preowned home. My adult pool is less then 1/2 mile in one direction and the family pool is 1/2 mile in the other direction. Three great Villages to live in is Ashland, Bonnybrook and Lynhaven. Also close to Sumter Landing. Happy in The Villages😊

Because most Villagers act like children so why have adult pools.

Based on my home location in the new area of DeLuna I am 0.6 of a mile to the DeLuna adult pool and 0.7 of a mile to the water Lily Rec center family resort pool and bonus just over a mile to cattail family pool which also hosts the Edna's on the green food trucks and entertainment daily And just a hop skip and a jump to Everglades regional sports pool. Pre-owned doesn't mean better. There are many reasons to choose all options.

Having to travel a mile or so to get to an adult pool must be really debilitating!

It is unfortunate that each house does not have a rec center, adult pool, family pool, starter shack, and a town square within a 1/2 mile walking distance. I guess some would consider that poor planning.

I might have my wires crossed but isn't there one by the food trucks, Lowlands Executive course and the Pitch & Putt? Right by the mail station there???
