Yes, there are many eagles in The Villages. My point was since the tornado I do not think there are any eagles in the Liberty Park Eagle Preserve. The tornado destroyed several trees in the preserve.

Default Hadley is the most beautiful! lol!

The homes in Sunset Ridge that you are talking about Cassie, are Premier homes, the larger floor plans with a few more architectural touches inside and they are exactly the same floor plans and lot size as in the Villages of Bridgeport. Many villages have Premier homes intermixed. Now they have an area, brand new, called Pennecamp with beautiful Premier lots available as well and lots for all other styles too. You can tell an exclusive Premier area, they have double street lights.

The nicest thing about The Villages is that almost everywhere is a beautiful mixture of styles and sizes in homes. And once you choose, there is very little, almost none, house envy.

Of course, everyone's own village is their favorite. Hadley of course is the best.

I work for GMS, we manage the golf courses and the Golf Acadamy. With all the rain, business has been rather slow lately. My co-worker and I were discussing the different Villages and their locations, when we were joined by a customer. We were talking about were we lived and the newcomer to the conversation said he lived in Sunset Pointe. When my co-worker and I both mentioned we lived in Summerhill, this GENTLEMAN replied, " you guys live in the BLUE COLLAR section of the villages".

This is the first reference to class distinction, that I have ever heard muttered in the 18 months that I have lived here.

Everyone has heard the old adage,"one bad apple can spoil the whole barrel". Sunset Pointe's barrel is a little tainted.

Default what an idiot!!!!

How rude....
However, I have been blue collar the majority of my life and probably have more saved then this idiot. A guy who would make that kind of remark is probably New Money (inherited from parents). A man or women that worked and saved their entire life (executive, white collar, blue collar or self employeed) would never think or say something so pompous.

Default "Blue Collar?

Take it as a compliment.

The term has come to mean hard-working and unpretentious. I'd be proud of it.

I live in Sunset Pointe and am as blue collar as they come. Grew up very poor on a small farm in NH. Find out where he lives so the rest of us "blue collar" Sunset Pointe neighbors can educate him. But the reality is, who cares. His loss if he thinks that way. And there are probably one or two like that in every neighborhood. But Sunset Pointe is still the best Village.
