That is the same situations for a great deal 55 community's . A lot said about the villages is smoke and mirrors. That is why you have to do your Due Diligence before you buy their

Folks who are already established within their group might just prefer to be in that group, and not looking to branch out. So they're not being hostile toward you, more like they're being indifferent.
Most folks will be welcoming, but sometimes it takes you to approach them first. I don't go to the pool often enough to really get to know the regulars even though I've been living here more than 2 years already. Doesn't bother me - and if it did, I'd just start becoming a regular - and at that point I'll get all those hi's and hello's that one would expect when one sees a regular. |

LEt me get this straight, you are new to the Villages, use bought a house. YOu have 3 posts.
You had no questions about who to cut your grass, what type of golf car to buy, what area to live in, how the bond works? But you go to a Internet forum and ask how to make friends at the pool? |

Maybe you live might be in a new area, or an area where the many homes have been sold, But if you move to an established area like we did, pool people can be very Territorial and sometimes just outright mean. For us we just go to a CC pool, no high school drama there. Even our adult children refuse to use the adult pool here, because of the issues. Some established neighborhoods are not happy that houses have been sold and new people have moved in and they definitely don’t want the new people anywhere near THEIR POO! And can be very vocal. Since 07 we have run into territory pool issues at 2 neighborhood pools. It’s not a lot, however the experiences can be hard for a new person moving in. |

I was going to tell you that TheLegges is just special and allowed to go wherever he/she wants but ! But there is a priority pool membership that allows one to go to the country club pools. I am not Village “upper crust” so I have no experience with those pools to share

Not sorry we planned our retirement to enjoy certain lifestyle that TV offers, been a Priority member since 2010. And have enjoyed every amenity that it offered. Now the enhancement membership starting in May 2022 may be a different story but that’s a year down the road for me. |
