One is an Autistic child but it's not the new section and only the new section (bonds to be paid by the purchaser) matters.....just look at how poor the lots are maintained in the prehistoric section also.

Doesn't care? Re-purchase of 40 homes to be rebuilt by the Developer. Rebuilding of the golf course & country club.
Maintainence of lots is the homeowners's responsibility.

If children are living there then report them. It is anonymous to do so. I wish we didn't have to do things like that but it is the rule and a deed restriction.

Why didn't anyone get this excited when the front page of The Daily Sun showed the foreign exchange students arriving who are staying with host families in the Villages?

I got excited education is a wonderful thing. In my life time I have never spoke out nor have I vote against a tax increase that was for education.

We drove out the Jeffery gate this morning about 8:05 and saw 2 little kids, maybe 2nd grade age, sitting in a golf cart with their father. Dad was about 30-35 years old. So, if they don't live in Silver Lake and are just being picked up at that gate, where are they coming from in the golf cart?

Tomorrow when you see them ...give a smile to the DAD and just ask...in a kind nice way. Then post your answer here....for all to know ...bet it will be an honest answer without any recourse. Wish I could pull out of the gate tomorrow.

It could be that dad and kids go to grandparents' house every morning from their home outside of TV, get the golf cart, have kids wait for bus (which is probably not for any of the charter schools, but a Lake County school --The Villages Elementary School on Rolling Acres has good rep) and then dad goes to work.

The reality may be the parents are trying to circumvent their local school district and get theirs kids into what they feel is a better school by using the grandparents' address. Happens all over the country.

The only way you're going to know for sure is to follow dad home, be there when school gets out, talk to neighbors and find out if kids are actually living in TV. Then you can report them if it bothers you that much.

It is hard to hide kids here. I was once reported for having my grandson here for four days while my daughter went away for the weekend. Community Watch dropped by and asked how long he would be staying with me. My home was watched a lot for the next few months to make sure it was truly only a visit.

I absolutely agree with you and I have voted for tax increases for our local schools every time. We aren't against children, most of us love children, very much and not just our own, either.

but this is an age segregated community.

Please don't think hate where there is none. AND most of us love dogs too.
Most of us.

The kids are not going to The Charter School. Charter School does not have busses.

Children are not allowed to live in The Villages. There are three, non-village, villages, built for workers, with no amenities but they have golf cart access. Children can live there but not in Silver Lake or any of the "regular" villages.

It doesn't matter whether it is Charter or Public school. Children are not allowed to live in The Villages. They may visit for up to 30 days a year.
