The arrival of a new square will be subject to the availability of new road infrastructure, funded in part by the recent tax increase.

Disagree. I think this is what we will see moving forward.

At the rate they are building it will anything but a small population center.

I believe that also. The "town square" is being replaced by new innovative ideas. I love it.

Agree, the number of homes planned down here will double the size of The Villages. I feel there will be amenities down here that no one has ever seen before, a lot of experiments going on and mostly good like Pitch & Putt, Edna's on the Green currently the only public place that has live music, pitch & putt, putt & play, neighborhood family pools, rec. centers with bars and restaurants next to them, etc. Very exciting times ahead for the southerners.

OK but given the average age of the folks moving in how long do they have before they will be gone before the amenities come to pass

A lot of doubt when none is warranted. We have been here more than a dozen years and have been so glad to see things unfold better and better. Amenities always come before homes. Always.

We have been here just over 5 months and very happy we made the move.

Before the virus about once a week we visited a square for a band we liked and greatly miss it followed by dinner in a restaurant by a square..

We like being where we are in easy driving distance of all 3. If we were very far south would probably think that Spanish Springs or perhaps Sumter Lander was a bit far away for an evening out.

We started renting in 07, bought first house in 2010. Our friends are DINKS, just bought at 50 and 54, neither play golf, but do triathlons. They can see themselves being around for 25 to 30 years. They too are excited for the new plans for gathering
